Lan Ha Bay, located to the east of Cat Ba Island in Hai Phong Province, stands out for several distinctive features and advantages compared to Ha Long Bay:

1. Less crowded: Unlike Ha Long Bay, Lan Ha Bay is less affected by heavy tourist traffic. This allows the bay to retain a more pristine and tranquil beauty, especially in areas that are less explored.

2. Diverse limestone islands: Lan Ha Bay is home to over 400 islands of various sizes, each with unique shapes, and covered with lush tropical vegetation. The islands here appear more natural and less commercialized compared to those in Ha Long Bay.

3. Pristine beaches: Lan Ha Bay features several beautiful, serene beaches, such as Cat Co Beach and Ba Trai Dao Beach, where visitors can enjoy swimming and relaxation without the crowds typical of Ha Long Bay.

4. Nature-centric activities: Visitors to Lan Ha Bay can engage in activities like kayaking, canoeing, swimming, or even trekking on the smaller islands. The bay remains relatively free from pollution and its natural environment is largely intact.

5. Connection to Cat Ba Island: Lan Ha Bay is easily accessible from Cat Ba Island, one of Vietnam’s top tourist destinations, known for its stunning landscapes and rich ecosystems.

In general, Lan Ha Bay is an ideal choice for those seeking a peaceful, unspoiled natural setting with fewer crowds, while Ha Long Bay is more famous and has more developed tourism infrastructure.
