We will pick you up at your hotel (optional early tour with a 5:00 wake-up for sunrise view and early return) and start our day with a visit to the vibrant seafood market where you can find all kinds of fresh seafood. After that, we will visit Bai Tho Mountain. At 186 meters high, the mountain is accessible by land or water and offers a magnificent view of the shimmering water, endless sky and the amazing islands that are scattered across the Ha Long Bay. It is the perfect place to relax and take in the view. The mountain appears to be formed from three peaks that reach high into the sky and resembles a beautiful castle. At the base lies Long Tien Pagoda, the largest pagoda in Ha Long City. Built in 1941, Long Tien is a favorite site amongst travellers. It was built as a Buddhist Temple, but it also has altars dedicated to the warriors of the Tran Dynasty and to the Holy Mother of Three Palaces. The last visit of the day is to Hon Gai Church. Built at the beginning of the 20th century, the church is located on a high hilltop overlooking the city of Ha Long. Hon Gai was destroyed by the war in 1972 but rebuilt and expanded and is now the largest church in Quang Ninh Province. Lunch will be served at a local restaurant.
