Ha Long Bay - Far and Away
Determined to find your own private paradise Duc Hanh takes a cycling and kayaking trip to the confines of the bay Halong
After disembarking the Indochina Sails away on a small wooden boat, sail towards the coast of Ngoc Vung Island along with my fellow travelers and a lot of mountain bikes. We are facing a bicycle tip through this mysterious island located between the islands of Halong inspire fear. Ngoc Vung (Mother Pearl) island is 50 km from the city of Halong Wharf.
Once all the island could plunge below and find a lot of pearls, hence the name "Mother of Pearl Island. The island is 12 square kilometers with more than 1,000 people who live mainly on fishing, agriculture, aquaculture and reforestation.
"If you see the island from a helicopter, Ngoc Vung is like a velvet scarf with a beautiful white trim, "says the captain of Huong Hai junk." It seems to be floating on the surface of water. "" Once upon once, at nightfall, the island would have been illuminated under incandescent pearls, "he continues, lost in his own happy reverie. It's a shame I think that these finite ocean treasures have been looted.
After we arrived at the small dock on the island grabbed our bikes and prepare to pass the east side of the island where they have promised you will find deserted beaches. We take a coastal road that skirts the island's mountainous terrain. The road is spectacular. There is never an opportunity bored with stunning views of sea and land.
Offshore fishermen caulk his boat bamboo with tar or scrapping worms panels their wooden boats. Along the road women are arranging a number of fishing nets or drying peanuts. Until the hillsides, children tend cheerfully of oxen or geese. For the green fields of rice farmers pull up weeds or are struggling with freshwater ponds of fish and shrimp. We are told that you can find big fish in these ponds recently.
One farmer we met on the road, said: "Last week, my uncle grabbed a butter fish weighing over 10 kg." For those worried about cycling on country roads on remote islands, Ngoc Vung infrastructure has quite mild throughout the year. There is certainly little by way of traffic. So it is the odd three-wheeler or motorcycle. The island life is very simple. If you are after peace, it is here in spades.
"All everyone here knows each other, "says Mien, transporting the goods across the island on his tricycle." Every time someone gets sick all the world on the island is wishing you a speedy recovery. When a family has bad luck, everyone is ready to help.
I have never closed the door of my house. Here we are in a big family. "The cycle of the pier to the beach is rather short, only 5 km, so even if you're not a cyclist you should find enough live easy. There is no need to rush, no need to stress out. We stop often and enjoy the natural beauty of the island.
When they finally reach the white sandy beach, shining in the sunlight. There is no soul bathing on the beach. For tourists seeking a remote refuge hidden this fits the bill. That means, of course, have zero in the way of services - no bars or restaurants, no showers or toilets. But that's why we're here: to escape the crowds and enjoy our own little private paradise. We parked the bikes in the pines where a small tent has been created for us to put our bathing suits.
Then, one by one, run by the crystal clear waters and dive in. After swimming, sunbathing and walking along the beach, with heavy hearts we go back to the ship. But the fun is not over. After sailing away from Ngoc Vung is perched on the kayaks and paddle towards Cong Do, a floating fishing village of Bai Tu Long Bay, southeast 25 kilometers from the city of Halong. There are over 50 floating houses and boats and is surrounded by a series of green piles of rocks and islets.
Covered the wind that travels the sea, all the floating village is very calm water. We have to paddle through the villagers out their daily activities. Fishermen repair nets, the women cooked meals or doing laundry while the kids jump and splash water out in their gardens.
One house is a shade of pink arrest. We can not let your head it. The owners, a little married couple, they say they spent VND200 million construction of the house. They have a baby on the way and had previously lived in a small fishing boat. The pink house on the high sea where they were settling down to raise a family.
Getting there You can travel to Ngoc Vung Island Halong boat dock, but remember there are no hotels, restaurants so be sure to arrange a return! The locals are very friendly and there may be a possibility of a homestay home a seafood dinner. An easier way to do this is to book a tour.
You can join one of three days and two nights with Indochina Sails that includes visiting Ngoc Vung and caves, fishing villages, swimming and kayaking in locations around the World Heritage of Halong Bay. shorter trips to the island also are possible. Indochina Sails, 844-984 2362
