ハロン湾には2000以上大小の島々が独特の景観を成している。伝承では、中国がベトナムに侵攻してきた時、龍が現れ敵を破り、その時口から吐き出した宝石が湾内の島々になったと伝えられている。
According to local legend, when Vietnam had just started to develop into a country, they had to fight against invaders. The gods sent dragons to defend the country. To chase the invaders away, dragons spit out jewels These jewels turned into the islands and islets dotting the bay, linking together to form a great wall against the invaders.
