Ha Long International Cruise Port is at Bai Chay, right next to Sun World Ha Long (about 2 km). The Hon Gai centre with Quang Ninh Museum, Vincom Plaza and Ha Long Market is across Bai Chay Bridge, about 7-8 km. Hanoi is about 150 km away, so many guests stay around Ha Long.
Times are approximate, from free-flowing to busy traffic, and only a guide; traffic, weather and time of day can change them.
