Ha Long Bay has been recognized as UNESCO World Heritage Site twice in 1994 and 2000 for its spectacular natural landscape and majestic cave complex. Meanwhile, Cat Ba Archipelago is also listed as a national-level monument in 2013.

This place is home for a great range of both fauna and flora rare species, which has been declared a UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve Area in 2004.
