Archaeological excavations in the region have shown that the bay and its islands were inhabited around 20,000 years ago. The earliest traces date back to the Soi Nh\u1ee5 culture, followed by the C\u00e1i B\u00e8o culture, which was characterised by its proximity to the sea and fishing activities. Later, the Ha Long culture developed, which dates back to around 3,500 BC.   <\/p><p>The bay has always been an important habitat for coastal communities, where fishing, shellfishing and maritime trade have played an important role. Even today, people still live directly on the bay, for example in floating villages such as C\u1eeda V\u1ea1n or Vung Vi\u00eang, where life is completely adapted to the water. <\/p><p>The legends surrounding Ha Long Bay are also deeply rooted in Vietnamese folklore. The name &#8216;H\u1ea1 Long&#8217; literally means &#8216;descending dragon&#8217;. According to an ancient legend, the gods sent dragons down to earth to protect the Vietnamese people from invaders. These dragons spat out precious stones and jade, which became the limestone islands of today and served as a natural barrier against enemies. When peace was restored, the dragons stopped flying and stayed in the bay \u2013 hence the name.    <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element
