#31 Take a boat ride in Halong Bay

Even if you’ve come across a hundred pictures of this renowned UNESCO World Heritage Site, nothing beats seeing it for yourself.

There are many cruise line operators that will take you around the bay, from the basic to the very luxurious. For a fun twist on the typical sightseeing tour, check out Halong Party Cruises (www.halongpartycruises.com).

A word of caution, though: There are a couple of shady operators lurking around who might try to sell you “add-ons” like kayaking or water cave visits. So if a deal sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
