Fastest Way to Halong Bay from Hanoi?
Okay, so Halong Bay from Hanoi, huh? Here’s what I know.
Fastest, yeah? Shuttle buses or a private car, def. That’s a straight shot, no messing around.
Honestly, though, the roads can be interesting. I remember one time (November ’19, near Hai Duong maybe?) our bus had to swerve around a dude selling live chickens. Live chickens. Wild.
For pure boujee factor? Seaplane. I saw one take off from Noi Bai once, looked amazing. Bet it costs a fortune though.
Shuttle Bus/Private Car: Direct route, practical. Seaplane: Luxurious, scenic, faster.
(Road’s still probably quicker door-to-door, even with the chickens.) Just my two cents.
