<\/div>\n

Most of the city looks like a huge construction site, and will probably continue to look as such for a while.<\/p>\n

I had a lot more expectations from Ha Long city than Cat Ba town, but looking back, Cat Ba looked and felt much better.<\/p>\n

Therefore, I would not recommend staying here for a while, not until the constructions are finalized (maybe next year’s summer, 2017).<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, I think a 3 days boat tour in the Ha Long Bay would be a better idea.<\/p>\n

Despite all of these, the future look of Ha Long city seems promising. And there’s a huge fun park under construction that would be interesting to visit someday.<\/p>\n
