On March 14, the Halong Bay Management Board (Quang Ninh)
held a ceremony to plant more than 150 precious trees
and endemic plants on Hon Co Island, Halong Bay.
This activity aims to create landscapes, raise awareness
of protecting endemic plants, and respond to the project
"Halong - City of Flowers".
At the ceremony, the Halong Bay Management Board
received trees, including: 20 Halong cycads, 5 Halong
palm trees, 30 cottonwood trees, 30 bamboo trees, 30
Halong galangal roots, 10 ivy trees, 10 wild tamarind
trees and other rare orchids and plants...
These trees are planted in gardens next to the port, the
boarding and disembarking points, the tourist
concentration points, on the mountainside, and the road
to visit the cave to cover the vegetation affected by
Typhoon Yagi.
These are rare and endemic plants that are of great
value to biodiversity on the rocky islands and tourist
attractions in the bay. Most of these trees have large
canopies that provide shade, beautiful and colorful
flowers, contributing to creating green spaces,
attractive check-in corners for tourists, increasing the
attraction of the destination.
These endemic and rare plants have been successfully
researched and propagated by the Halong Bay Management
Board through scientific projects to preserve and
conserve endemic plants over time. Some other plants are
planted in the form of ex situ conservation, because
they are often scattered on cliffs, mountain tops and in
places with harsh living conditions.
It is expected that the Halong Bay Management Board will
continue to plant more than 240 endemic and rare plants
in Hon Co by the end of April 2025.
Hon Co is the pilot site for planting endemic and rare
plants this year in Halong Bay. According to the plan,
Halong Bay Management Board will monitor and learn from
experience to deploy more widely in the following years
at destinations and rocky islands in this heritage bay,
both to enhance environmental protection education and
introduce the value of endemic and rare plants to
tourists, creating beautiful landscapes for the tourist
attraction.
We offer a range of
overnight
cruises in Halong Bay, from budget-friendly to
luxurious, ensuring a comfortable and memorable
experience.
