Legend has it that millions of years ago, a giant dragon plunged into the waters of Halong Bay and laid many eggs. When those eggs hatched out to be numerous rocks and islands in the area. The name Halong Bay literally means "Descending Dragon". The dragon's tail is said to have extended out far into the ocean and created Bach Long Vi Island, which means "The Tail Of The White Dragon." Before returning to heaven, The dragon said farewell to her offspring at Bai Tu Long Bay, which means "The dragon parts the offsprings."
