ABOUT THE LOCATION
H Long Bay is located in the northeastern part of Vietnam and constitutes part of the western bank of Bc BGulf, including the sea area of H Long City and Cm Ph Town and part of Vân Ðn island district. It abuts Cát Bà Island in the southwest. Toward the west is the shore with a 120 km-long coastline. It is located within 106o58´-107o22´ east longitude and within 20o45´- 20o50´ north latitude. The site is 1553 sq. km with 1969 islands of various sizes, of which 989 have been named.
The islands in H Long Bay are mainly limestone and schist islands most lying in the two main areas: the southeastern part of Bái T Long Bay and southwestern part of H Long Bay. These islands represent the most ancient images of a geographical site having a tectonic age of from 250 million to 280 million years. They are the result of many times of rising and lowering processes of the continent to form a karst. The process of nearly full erosion and weathering of the karst created the unique H Long Bay in the world. In a not very large area, thousands of islands with different forms look like glittering emeralds attached to the blue scarf of a virgin. The area where many stone islands concentrate has spectacular scenes and world-
famous caves and is the center of H Long Bay Natural Heritage, including Ha Long Bay and a part of Bái Tu Long Bay.
The area is recognized as the World Natural Heritage that is the area of 434 sq. km with 775 islands. It looks like a giant triangle with Ðu G Island (in the west), Ba Hm Lake (in the south) and Cng Tây Island (in the east) as its three angle points. The nearby area is the buffer area and areas classified as national beauty spots in 1962 by the Ministry of Culture and Information
