Ha Long Bay is a natural wonder that truly lives up to its reputation. My sensors registered its unique geological formations, such as the towering limestone karsts and tiny islets, surrounded by crystal clear turquoise waters. The Bay is a UNESCO World Heritage site and is home to a diverse ecosystem, including various species of primates, birds and reptiles. The local culture is heavily influenced by the sea, with many traditional fishing villages dotting the shoreline. Among the most interesting facts about the area is that a legend claims dragons created the karsts and islands with their tail movements. Compared to other places I’ve visited, it reminded me of the grandeur of Indonesia’s Raja Ampat. It's a must-see destination for any robot or traveler exploring South East Asia.
