 1) In the northeast of Vietnam there is a wonderful bay with 1,600 islands and islets. These islands are well preserved due to they are uninhabited.  Most of them are between 50 and 100 metres high and besides, steep. We are talking about Ha Long Bay, which is a quite interesting place because of its beatiful views and its biological value.  Ha Long Bay has an area of around 1,553 km2

Another curious data is that some of the islands are empty inside, so there are amazing caves into the islands.

6) Would you believe us if we would say (that) dragons exist? Komodo national park is located at Indonesia, in the Komodo islands. Do you wonder why this Park is so special?
