Bay are mainly limestone and schist islands most lying in the two main areas:
the southeastern part of Bai Tu Long Bay and southwestern part of Ha Long Bay.
They are the result of many times of rising and lowering processes of the
continent to form a karst. The process of nearly full erosion and weathering of
the karst created the unique Ha Long Bay in the world. In 2000, UNESCO
recognized it as the World Heritage for the second time for its geographical and
geomorphologic values.

Long Vi (meaning ‘’The Tail of the White Dragon’’). As she returned to heaven,
she said good bye to her offspring at the Bai Tu Long Bay (means ‘’The dragon
parts the offsprings’’).
