Ha Long Bay Alternative: Why I Chose Bai Tu Long Bay
I skipped Ha Long Bay for its quieter, more expensive alternative: *Bai Tu Long Bay.* Solo as a vegetarian. No tourist crowds like in Ha Long Bay. In this Vietnam Travel Vlog, I´ll show you the floating fishing village, kayaking through untouched limestone karsts, full vegetarian meals on board, and the one moment that made me question the whole experience.
Most Vietnam travel guides send you straight to Ha Long Bay. But 30 minutes north lies Bai Tu Long Bay – same dramatic limestone karsts, a fraction of the tourist boats, and almost nobody talking about it.
This is your complete Halong Bay cruise alternative – honest, unfiltered.
Welcome to *Bai Tu Long Bay* (2D1N)!
