「海上桂林」下龍灣位於越南東北部，為典型格斯特地形，海灣中密集分佈著1969座石灰岩島嶼，為自然世界遺產之一。下龍灣是北越之旅的熱點，旅遊業旺盛，下龍灣的海上遊輪服務、下龍市周邊的旅館及渡假村種種旅遊設施，應有盡有。我們選擇的是Aclass Cruises旗下的Stellar號（官網）的兩天一夜遊，含四餐一宿、兩項觀光活動：遊驚訝洞和漂浮漁村。這輯是在Stellar號上第一天的照片。
[NL] Halong Bay, ofwel Ha Longbaai, is een baai in het noordoost van Hanoi. In de baai liggen 1969 kalkstenen eilanden en de uitzichten in deze regio zijn spectaculair. Halong Bay is opgenomen op de UNESCO lijst in 1994 en het is een van de populairste toeristenbestemmingen van Vietnam. We hebben Aclass Stellar Cruise (Official website) gekozen om onze reis bij Halong Bay te genieten. Het 2D1N pakket bevat 4 maaltijden en 2 toeristactiviteiten: het bezoeken van Amazing Cave (Hang Sửng Sốt) en de drijvende dorpen van vissers. In dit artikel zijn de fotos van de eerste dag op Stellar gepost.
