Top 10 Best Poems About Ha Long

1. Greetings to Ha Long

We greet you, Ha Long, with a myriad of islands

Countless peaks scattered on the azure waves;

Sea and sky blend with picturesque rocks

Erecting a timeless ode to the beauty of land and river!

We enter Ha Long Bay, enchanting and soulful

Casting nets to capture myriad creatures.

Islands call to islands, dragons cavort in the bay,

We bow to the majestic landscapes of Ha Long!

Here the draft of creation is still unfinished.

Mountains, islands, clouds, and tumultuous waves.

Stone giants of ancient times playfully tossed,

Trees still carry the scent of the wild.

Our boat becomes a floating loom on the sea,

Our soul transforms into a swaying swallow in the sky;

A page of water stretches into eternity;

A page of sky filled with birds and parallel winds.

Oh, so much, so much splendid grandeur,

The cloak of Ha Long draped in national magnificence!

Eyes gaze endlessly, let the heart remain astonished.

Our boat has passed, yet the beauty remains vast.

2. Ha Long Masterpiece

Ha Long's natural beauty

World wonder like a celestial descent

Shimmering water reflects divine mirror

Tilted mountains mirror in white circling clouds

Seagulls gracefully enchant

Red sails intoxicate the soul with ecstasy

Dazzling autumn sparkles at sunset

Glistening blue waves, sailing boats in the vast sea

Stone towers hide the silhouette

Watching the worn-out husband, etched by the sea and sky

Here, the DRUM CAVE is majestic

Love, like iron, separates with a heartbreaking farewell

Brown Island, Purple Island... worthy names

Bach Dang echoes the thunderous history

Warships seem to still surge

The clang of swords, the cheers of victory echo

A thousand years of history turns a new page

Keeping the country glorious today

THIEN CUNG CAVE day and night

Charms travelers, enchanted in a paradise

As surreal as the realm of King Yama

The mysterious paradise sought from every direction

HA LONG we admire passionately

How to describe every aspect of this landscape

The more you go, the more amazed you are

Nature, majestic, bestows our country

Vietnam, a beautiful country

Everywhere honors this land

3. Longing for Ha Long

Invite you to visit my hometown sea

Ha Long, adorned in green, embraces freshness

Admire the sunrise with the sky blushing

As the evening sun sets amidst the vast expanse

The sea in this season is beautiful, oh dear

Clear blue water, waves dancing and beating

Far offshore, countless small islands

Mountains stand tall, evening in violet mist

Ancient legend, the Dragon descended to resist invaders

Encountering heavenly scenes, indulging in mesmerizing play

The Dragon turned to stone amidst the sea

A natural wonder, incredibly beautiful

Trinh Nu Cave tells a love story

Poetic mountain echoes the soul of the land

Bai Chay Bridge plays a celestial melody

Pearl Isle now splendid and majestic

Returning to Tuần Châu, a dreamlike paradise

Sloping sandy beach, inviting clear water

You remember to let the sails wait

A gentle, shining sea, a radiant Ha Long..!

4. Ha Long, Sea of Memories

Hear the evening waves tilting towards the sun
Ship's body heavy, overcoming the sea
Release the soul to admire the sky's scenery
On the smooth sand shore, stroll and immerse

In the sparkling and miraculous Quang temple
Ha Long Bay, millions and millions of hearts
Intoxicated emotions, suppressed excitement
Merge into the vast sea, where flocks of birds fly

A land of mines, the coal stream flows abundantly
Flows day and night, reaching great heights
Beloved hear the proud sound
In the promised land, how beautiful the human affection

Vietnam, small everywhere is known
Golden land, black sea, green forest
Spiritual door of peace, Buddha's blessing
Heading towards Yen Tu, a solid place name in the heart

Hear the song, Ha Long, sea of memories
Even apart, wanting to be together
We find the common bridge
Settle in the throbbing rhythm, amidst the surging waves.

5. Return to Ha Long

Leaving Dien Bien, we return to the sea
With Ha Long, a heritage bay, here we be
The blue sea blends with the sunlight so free
Oh, fantastic! A vibrant living space, you see

To Quang Ninh, the poetic Ha Long Bay
Visiting Ti Top Island, fantastic display
Surprising Cave, mysterious amidst the bay
Gentle waves play on the shores of white sand at bay

Ha Long, on a beautiful sunny day
We, sisters, joyfully admire the bay's array
Smiles bloom, capturing colorful display
Creating memories of a lush green summer day

Oh, Ha Long! Nighttime, listening to the sea's song
Tides gently ripple, boats silently belong
Sparkling lights in the dark, all night long
Miss you so much, love Ha Long so strong!

Ha Long is truly beautiful, oh dear

The tourist fleet has set sail, it's clear

The blue water, majestic standing stones

Admiring, I'm captivated, never wanting to veer.

Oh, could this be the Trong Drum?

Close to the Hon Mai amidst the vast sea

Far away, the beauty of the Dau Go Cave

Daydreaming along the river's melody.

Look, Ngoc Vung Beach, Hang Dao Beach afar

A rainbow of colors in the season's bizarre

There's Bai Tho Mountain, Yen Tu Pagoda grand

Behold Trinh Nu Cave, Minh Chau Island's strand.

Heading to the Sung Sot Cave, rocks leaning

Tuan Chau, here, the wind is ever gleaming

Vung Vieng fishing village in the new fishing season

Intoxicated with the melody of a unified song.

Oh, do you know that spring has arrived?

Anyone returning, do you remember, calling it out

Love for the land, love for you, memories

Abundant waves, tidal waves rising.

Once again, I come back to Ha Long

Quang Ninh embraces me in its heart

The waves playfully embrace the white sandy shore

Tuan Chau, the sun spreads its rays abundantly

The two Trong Mai islets, slopes against the mountain's side

For a thousand years, loyalty remains unchanged

Travelers revisit this heritage land

The beloved mining region, the land of the fairy dragon

Cruise ships admire the bay, tranquil and serene

Mountain and water share an intimate connection, the water's deep green

Recorded in memories of numerous experiences

An evening with the vastness of the sea waves.

Ha Long, where the sea meets the sky,

Waves sing love songs, a lullaby.

Life's rhythm, sea's fragrance,

Caressing shores, forever in resonance.

Deep blue sea and sky so pure,

Green mountains, blue waters, a love so sure.

Ships sailing in shimmering light,

Entering a celestial scene, hearts unite.

Ha Long, a refreshing scene,

My love wanders along the shore, serene.

Telling my love to send a verse,

Bring me a bit of Ha Long's coastal hearse.

As my love wraps within her heart,

A gift for me, I hope for it to start.

Looking at that sky, my love is true,

Ha Long's greenery forever in my view.

Come to my hometown, Ha Long Bay,

You'll witness a sea vast and unknown.

Each evening, boats return, laden with fish,

Tuan Chau port bathed in the evening sun.

Our sea, charming and full of grace,

The mining city transforming with new embrace.

Fresh winds announce the changing seasons,

The rhythmic waves sing a lullaby of reasons.

My hometown sea, pristine and unique,

Thousands of sunbeams warm the day,

Come back, my love, we're waiting still,

By the sea in the evening, dreams fulfill.

Author: Purple Valley

The picturesque green mountains, a sight to behold,

Inviting you to revisit Ha Long, so bold.

As the evening sun weaves its golden strands,

The morning wakes, vibrant hues paint the lands.

Admire the beauty of each magnificent rocky hill,

See the sailboats, pairs of wings, sailing with skill.

Peaceful and serene, a soulful tranquility,

Stroll around, here, you'd wish no mobility.
