The Legend of Ha Long Bay in Vietnam

Ha Long Bay

Ha Long Bay, north of Hanoi in Vietnam’s Quang Ninh Province, is one of the country’s popular tourist attractions and also one of the new Seven Wonders of the World.

The area abounds in beauty with its crystal blue waters and up to 2000 limestone islets. One of UNESCO’s World Heritage sites, Ha Long Bay covers the vast 1553 sq km.

Some of the islands have unusual names due to their shape – Man’s Head Island, Fighting Cocks Island, Wallowing Buffalo Island, Wading Ox Island and more.

The Dragons Legend

The name Ha Long means ‘descending dragon’.

Legend states that as Vietnam developed as a country, invaders from nearby countries fought the Vietnamese to gain control. The Jade Emperor, the ruler at that time, called the Gods to assist in defeating the enemy.

A family of dragons were sent from the Gods to defend the country from these invaders and to protect its people. From the mouths of the dragons, jewels spewed out and were formed into islets, these islets then formed a great wall to protect the Vietnamese from the invaders.

As the invaders’ ships sailed into Ha Long Bay, they crashed into the islets and the fleet behind them, who could not stop suddenly, crashed into the front ships.

After such a successful defeat the dragons made the area their home. Ha Long Bay was named after the Mother Dragon who had first arrived there, and her children settled in Bach Long, which means the tail of the dragon. The dragons taught the local people how to plant crops and raise cattle and how to protect themselves in future.

Dragon People

Legend also states that the Vietnamese people were descended from dragons and fairies. The dragon represents life, the universe, growth and power to the Vietnamese people.

In 1898, Lagredin, a French Sub Lieutenant, sailed the waters of Ha Long Bay and reported a sighting of a huge sea snake that looked like a dragon. The report of this sighting appeared in the Hai Phong News.

Travel Opportunities

Ha Long Bay is 170 km from Hanoi the capital of Vietnam. The journey can take between 2 – 3.5 hours depending on the traffic.

cruises

Cruises on Ha Long Bay vary from 1 day to 3 days. Two-night cruises will have you experiencing stunning sunsets and sunrises, visits to a Pearl Farm, caves, lookouts and kayaking around the bay. Most cruise ships also offer tai chi classes at sunrise as well as a cooking class in the afternoon.

November and March are the months to avoid. During summer there are often cancellations due to tropical storms.

You Can Finally Work Out & Watch TV At the Same Time—Thanks to These TikTok Hula Hoops

I don’t know about you, but I haven’t picked up a hula hoop since high school. But guess what—the former gym class activity is now a top trending workout on TikTok— but with a twist. Instead of those lightweight, plastic hula hoops, TikTokers have leveled up with weighted hula hoops.

When I heard about this new fitness trend, I tried to imagine giving it a shot and ultimately failing to even get the hoop around my waist more than twice. Frankly, if it were the only option, I’d probably burn more calories picking the hula hoop off the floor. Luckily for the highly uncoordinated, TikTok users have endorsed a weighted hula hoop that doesn’t require you to use gravity and skilled hips to keep it aloft.

TikToker Mariarma Saidyliegh demo’ed her weighted hula hoop journey using a smart weighted hula hoop from good old Amazon. It’s designed with a special waistband and it comes with a swinging hammer, which serves as your “hula hoop.” Welcome to the 21st century, guys. Instead of doing tons of crunches, you can put on your latest favorite show and hoop away. Now that’s the kind of multi-tasking I can get behind.

Weighted hula hoops also strengthen your core, back, hips and legs. Trust me, it’s more of a full-body workout than it looks. You can work your way up to doing it for 30 minutes but if you’re like me, you might need to start at 5 minutes until you start getting the hang of it.

In addition to the TikTok-famous hula hoop, we found another highly-rated option for shoppers on the hunt for something a little more classic. Happy hooping!

Auto-Spinning Hula Hoop

If you aren’t particularly coordinated, like me, this is the hula hoop for you. You don’t have to worry about keeping the weighted hula balanced in air. You just attach this waistband around your waist and then start swinging your hips, then the weighted ball spins on a rope. Just make sure you’ve got a lot of space or you might hit something. It can be a little difficult to get into a good flow, but practice makes perfect. Some reviewers recommended wearing a shirt underneath the waistband because otherwise, it’ll pinch.

Traditional Weighted Hula Hoop

Try your luck and see if you can still hula hoop the old-fashioned way. The hoop can be assembled to make three different sizes, so you can make the one that’s right for you.  The 2 lb.-hoop is padded, so you won’t get bruised while hooping away. Plus, it’s currently 26 percent off. I love a good deal.

From the looks of Melissa Gorga’s Instagram posy this morning, wedding szn is back on for 2021 and she’s dressed for it! This weekend she attended the wedding of makeup artist @GeorgeMiguelC who has created some iconic looks for Melissa over the years.

Years ago I actually bought my fave Makeup Forever gold eyeshadow based on what George used on her annnnd learned by fave trick of using a wet brush to get an amazing metallic look with it that I still use. And though I just looked at it was for her reunion look in 2012 I’m stillllll using the eye makeup. While some may this means my eye makeup and I need a re-vamp, a great look never goes out of style, kind of like the fab multi-color sequin dress Missy G is rocking in this pic.
