(2.0 pts) Recognized by UNESCO twice as a World Heritage Site, Halong Bay is among top-notch destinations in Vietnam for domestic and foreign tourists with a fantastic blend of pristine natural beauty and effervescent city vibe. Similar to other Northern cities of Vietnam, Halong shares the tropical climate with high temperature from late June until September with occasional storms and typhoons, and strong monsoon during the winter. These unpleasant weather conditions with a high level of humidity and rainfall will limit the warmth from sunlight as well as visibility over the sea. Therefore, it is advisable to avoid traveling during these periods. However, in December and January, Halong Bay is mostly packed with foreign tourists because it is Christmas and New Year holiday, and the local weather is not too sweaty as well. Other than swimming, visitors still can enjoy several activities and take a short journey to explore the magnificent caves within the bay.
The best season to visit Halong Bay is during the late spring (March and April) and early autumn (October). Halong Bay’s climate during the late spring features slightly dazzling sunshine and gentle breeze, with an average temperature of 25°C. This is also the season of flowers blossoms and spring festivals that provides not only a refreshing atmosphere of surrounding nature but also excitement of exploring local cultures. Meanwhile, the autumn precipitation is expected to be low and the water will calm down after stormy season, making it a peak season for cruise traveling.
