Hanoi to Halong Bay

Halong Bay’s sister cities of Bai Chay and Hon Gai are about 165 kilometers northeast of Hanoi. The repaving of Highway 18 (and the redesign of Highway 5) has cut a full 90 minutes off what was formerly a 3-4-hour trip from Hanoi. At present, the most convenient route from Hanoi to Halong Bay is via Bac Ninh:

Hanoi – Bac Ninh – Pha Lai – Dong Trieu – Uong Bi – Halong (At 155km, this is the shortest route to Halong)
• Hanoi – Bac Ninh: 30km
• Bac Ninh – Pha Lai: 25km
• Pha Lai – Dong Trieu: 30km
• Dong Trieu – Uong Bi: 30km
• Uong Bi – Halong: 40km
