Managed to fit in one more experience. Halong Bay was created by a dragon that lived in the mountains and as it charged toward the coast its tail gouged out valleys and crevasses. The biggest threat these days, tourism. 3000 limestone islands arising from the Gulf of Tonkin. We had to join the maddening crowds for this one but I feel sad because we met a guy who was on a project for the problems including pollution in the area, how did it get this bad. I was reading a ten year old Lonely Planet that stated not to go out on a boat because the pirates would get ya. Pity the pirtates were driven out.
