Quang Ninh Museum ranked first in Vietnamese Museum System

Quang Ninh province prides itself on its magnificent natural beauty of Halong Bay, local’s fishing life, and diverse marine ecosystem that attracts tourists for a beach vacation.

A unique feature is the four columns decorated to reflect the rocky mountains of Halong Bay - Quang Ninh’s pride.

The second floor of Quang Ninh Museum gives visitors an insight into the life of Quang Ninh locals throughout thousands of years. It reflects the historical past, religious values, and war times. The displays are vibrant and meticulous, adding to the values of the museum.
