Scarlet sails on the blue Bay

Gliding gently across the crystal-blue waters of Ha Long Bay, the traditional three-panel sailing boats with their scarlet sails billowing in the breeze, evoke memories of generations of fishermen who have made a living on the bay. Introduced as a tourism experience in late June 2026, this distinctive tourism product along the shores of Ha Long Bay not only allows visitors to immerse themselves in the tranquil beauty of the heritage site, but also tells the story of maritime culture and traditional values preserved and passed down through generations, turning each trip into a journey through Quang Ninh’s history and cultural identity.
