Ha
Long Bay, Vietnam
5/10
According to local legend, when Vietnam had just started to
develop into a country, they had to fight against invaders. To
assist the Vietnamese in defending their country, the gods sent a
family of dragons as protectors. This family of dragons began
spitting out jewels and jade. These jewels turned into the islands
and islets dotting the bay, linking together to form a great wall
against the invaders. Under magics, numerous rock mountains abruptly
appeared on the sea, ahead of invaders' ships; the forward ships
struck the rocks and each other. After winning the battle, the
dragons were interested in peaceful sightseeing of the Earth, and
then decided to live in this bay. The place where the mother dragon
descended was named H? Long, the place where the dragon's children
attended upon their mother was called Bái T? Long island (Bái:
attend upon, T?: children, Long: dragon), and the place where the
dragon's children wriggled their tails violently was called B?ch
Long V? island (B?ch: white-color of the foam made when Dragon's
children wriggled, Long: dragon, V?: tail), present day Trà C?
peninsula, Mong Cai.
