Ha Long Bay is a few hours from Vietnam where people go to see the limestone structures from the water. It looked similar to Krabi in Thailand. I went on a boat for one night. Eight years ago there were 20 tourist boats, and now there are 800! We did visit quite a large cave and went kayaking. There are people that live on boats in the sea and sell sea food. There are people that row boats full of alcohol, drinks and food that come to your tourist boat. It is beautiful and a relaxing trip but there is a quite a lot of rubbish and the water was not as clear as it should be.
There was bit of karaoke on the boat so this was a good introduction back into Western culture. Mostly it was British people on that tourist boat. Actually most of the backpackers I've met have been from the UK. I haven't met that many from Asia.
