Viewed from above, Halong Bay resembles a geographic work of art. One feels lost in a legendary world of stone islands while exploring the bay. The Man's Head Island resembles a man standing and looking towards the mainland. Dragon Island looks like a dragon crawling above the turquoise water. The La Vong Island resembles an old man fishing. The islands of the Sail, the Pair of Roosters, and the Incense Burner also identically resemble their namesakes.
