We walked to the tourist wharf which located along Ha Long Road beside that Thang Long Restaurant. Everybody was in raincoat. This is the main entry where your ticket will be checked to go into the tourist boat pier.


There were simply a lot of boats and junks at the tourist wharf at Bai Chay, especially around 12 pm as most junks bring tourists back to the pier and load newly arrived tourists.

There is an extending pier without much junks or boats, likely mainly used for unloading tourists, as when we returned we alighted there the next day. Halong Bay in the far background.
