A UNESCO World Natural Heritage Site in Quang Ninh province, Vietnam, Ha Long Bay features thousands of limestone karsts and islets that have risen from the sea and undergone millions of years of formation under different geological conditions.

The gods sent the Mother Dragon and her children to help the ancient Vietnamese people defend their country. It is now inhabited by 571 benthic species, 419 plankton species, 181 species of coral, 156 species of fish, 139 species of seaweed, and 19 mangrove plant species endemic to the surroundings.
