The starting point for a more leisurely pace of life

For urban people, short weekend breaks are becoming a new relaxing habit. No need to go far, just a place close enough to escape the hustle and bustle of life and different enough to create a fresh feeling. Ha Long - a place with blue sea, green mountains, world natural heritage, and rich local character - is a choice that many tourists are interested in.

The highlight of Ha Long is the Halong Marina urban area. This place is a popular choice for many people thanks to its central location, convenient connection to famous tourist attractions such as Quang Ninh Museum, Sun World Complex, Ha Long market.

Not only does this place have a peaceful 4km long beach, but it also integrates a series of quality living amenities such as a soccer field, an outdoor pickleball court, a large sea square, green space and bustling summer activities such as the Halong Street Fest night walking street taking place every Thursday to Saturday evening or you can experience handicrafts at Chã Small Village.
