500 years ago, Nguyen Trai praised the beauty of Ha Long Bay in his verse Lộ nhập Vân Đồn, in which he called it "rock wonder in the sky". Even though Ha Long Bay has an area of around 1,553 km2, no one is allowed to make there home on land. Instead people live on floating houses, sometimes as part of a floating village and use boats for transport.
