According to the magazine, UNESCOWorld Heritage site Ha Long Bay, with more than 2,000 limestone islands, is atourism mecca in Asia.
It recommends that the bestway to avoid the bustle is to dodge the day trips and do a two-night cruise.This will allow visitors to take in clusters of islands too far forday-trippers or overnighters to get to, and allow them to surrender to therhythms of the sea and the sun.
“Once afloat you can watch both sunrise and sunset from thedeck—its ascent over the Gulf of Tonkin and denouement behind the slew ofislands, bays and iconic limestone outcrops. Then wait a while longer… becauseit’s the blue hour, that twilight time between dusk and darkness, when thelocals believe Ha Long Bay is at its most beautiful,” the magazine said.
Other threeplaces Travel Leisure recommends for sunset and sunrise watching in Asia are Romblon Island in Philippines,Kuakata Beach in Bangladesh, and Kenting National Park in Taiwan (China)./.
