Join Mytour as we take you to Bai Chay Beach (Ha Long, Quang Ninh) – one of this summer's unmissable destinations.
Where is Bai Chay Beach located?
Bai Chay is one of the most famous beaches in the North, located in Ha Long, Quang Ninh Province, just about 150km from Hanoi. Thanks to the relatively short distance and well-maintained, convenient roads, you'll only need around 1.5 to 2 hours to reach it by bus, limousine, or private car. Many young people also choose to ride motorcycles for an added sense of adventure and unforgettable moments.
For travelers from Central or Southern Vietnam, you can combine a visit to Hanoi before continuing your journey by land to Bai Chay. Of course, don’t forget to book your flight to Van Don (Quang Ninh) in advance.
