Ha Long Bay is now listed among the new Seven Natural Wonders of
the World, according to the New Open World Organization.
The New Open World announced the initial results of the voting to the Management
Board of Ha Long Bay by fax on November 12.
The New Seven Natural Wonders of the World include the Amazon in South America,
Ha Long Bay in Vietnam, Iguazu Fall in Argentina and Brazil, Jeju Island in the
Republic of Korea, Komodo Island in Indonesia, Puerto Pricesa Underground River
in the Philippines and Table Mountain in South Africa.
Ha Long Bay surpassed more than 400 natural wonders in over 200 nations and
territories around the globe to be listed among the 28 most beautiful
landscapes.
Ha Long Bay, recognized twice as a UNESCO World Heritage site, consistently
ranked high on the list for the seven new natural wonders throughout the four
years of the campaign.
The final results of the voting will be unveiled early next year. The
governments of the new natural wonders will be invited to attend the conferment
ceremony.
A gala will be held by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism in Hanoi on
the evening of November 12 to celebrate Ha Long Bay's success. It will be
broadcast live by Vietnam Television.
