This view of Cat Ba town’s busy harbor includes dozens of moored fishing boats. Rocky mountains and shoreline buildings can be seen in the background. A waterfront street is visible on the right.

Cat Ba is the only populated island in Halong Bay. It is a main point of departure for touring the scenic rocky islands by boat.
