Halong Bay of Dreams

History tells us what happened, that is reality. We can decorate, what in our culture fantasizing relive the moment, or what is the same thing we dream.

Well, this in Halong Bay in Vietnam reached its peak. Not because it is a unique place in their recent or ancient history without because its calm waters and karst whole leads to let your imagination beyond the usual. Halong Bay smells like fire, salt and wind, to our resplendent shown look like a bride, timid as a rookie and warm as a caress, and its music sounds like a litany. 

For many, many years, so many that even the older Vietnamese remember when it happened, a dragon and all his family called Jade Emperor. At that time the Chinese invaded remote lands and often Vietnamese incursions across the East Sea in that territory were constant. 

Being the natural entrance route from China to Vietnam, the Emperor summoned all his authority to convince the Dragons to defend the Vietnamese territory. One night, when some sampans were already near Halong, 20 great snake like animals and winged feet, broke the cloudy sky spitting fire from their mouth. 

The Chinese vessels, in close proximity to water, repelled the attacks of dragons to great effect. It was then, when the dragons began to spit at the mouth jewelry. One by one they were sinking sampans as a nutshell at the onslaught of a hammer. The remains of the battle can still be seen in the form of wonderful islands and karst cliffs. 

The dragon and her litter, defeated the enemy, fell exhausted into the sea to lie in peace. By collapsing tail waved with the land and forming new valleys and crevices that quickly, were flooded by the sea. 

Dragons still rest on the bottom.
