You step onto the teak deck as limestone towers loom like dark sentinels off the coast of Quang Ninh. Salt air and the low thrum of the engine set the rhythm; karst islands drift past, each cliff face folding light and shadow. The boat eases through narrow channels, and the bay seems to test you—inviting closer, then pulling away.
