Rising a Legend
Ha Long literally means descending dragon(s). According to local myth, long ago when the Vietnamese were fightiing Chinese invaders, the gods sent a family of dragons to help to defend the land. The family of dragons began spitting out jewels and jade. These jewels turned into the islands and islets dotting the bay, linking together to form a great wall against the invaders. The people kept their land safe and formed what later became the country of Vietnam. After that, dragons were interested in peaceful sightseeing of the Earth and decided to live here then.

The place where the Mother Dragon flew down was names Ha Long, the place where the dragon children attended upon their mother was called Bai Tu Long Island, and the place where the dragon children wriggled their tails violently was called Bach Long Vy Island.
