Lang Co Bay in Vietnam hailed for breathtaking turquoise waters and white‑sand beaches

Aerial photographs show Lang Co Bay’s turquoise sea meeting steep, jagged rocks that descend from the Hai Van mountain range. The bay is framed by white‑sand beaches and the rugged cliffs of Hai Van, creating a striking contrast between the calm blue water and the dark stone.

Recognised previously as one of the world’s most beautiful bays, the area’s pristine ecosystem and the scenic railway that winds along the mountain’s flank add to its appeal as a natural paradise and a growing tourist destination in central Vietnam.
