[2025 Haiphong Shopping Mall] Travel Guide for Ha Long Pearl (Updated Jul)

As part of our journey toward Halong Bay, our bus made a stop at Ngọc Trai Hạ Long – HALONG PEARL, a popular stopover point for tour groups and travelers heading to the bay. The experience was quite educational, especially for first-time visitors curious about how pearls are cultured. A short live demonstration was conducted where an attendant explained in English how pearls are grown and harvested, which made the stop more engaging. The process was interesting to watch and surprisingly efficient — the whole demo took about 5 minutes. After the demonstration, we were ushered into a large adjacent showroom filled with pearl jewelry and accessories. The staff mentioned that the pearls sold here are endorsed by the local government, although we couldn’t verify that claim. Prices varied widely, from smaller souvenirs to high-end pieces. While we didn’t make a purchase, it was a decent stop to stretch our legs and learn something along the way. For travelers interested in pearl jewelry, this place will likely be more appealing. ⸻ 💬 Final Verdict: A typical tourist stop, but with a brief and informative pearl farming demo that adds some value to the visit. Worth a quick visit — especially if you’re in the market for Vietnamese cultured pearls. #summervacay #HalongPearl #NgocTraiHaLong #HalongBayStopover #PearlFarmVietnam #VietnamJewelry #CulturalStop #HalongBayTrip #VietnamSouvenirs #PearlJewelryVietnam #TravelHalong #hanoi #hanoitrip #vietnam #vietnamtrip

📅 Itinerary Day4: 🍴 Cruise 🚢 HalongBay

#Let'sGoOverseas This was my first trip abroad and I went to Vietnam, where prices are relatively cheap. I got ripped off, but the bustling crowds were great. Even though I couldn't speak English, I was able to communicate with hand gestures, and all the Vietnamese people were kind. Halong Bay was wonderful and our guide was funny and friendly.

#Overseas travel The limestone karst topography seen from a cruise leisurely floating on the emerald sea of ​​Halong Bay was like a scene from a fairy tale. In particular, the view from the Ti Top Island observatory was breathtakingly beautiful, and the kayaking experience in Luon Cave was like becoming one with nature along the quiet waterway.  The seafood buffet provided on the cruise was also fresh and varied, which was satisfying, and the friendly service of the staff made the trip even more comfortable. However, some areas felt crowded due to the large number of tourists, but overall, the natural beauty of Halong Bay made up for it all.  You can go there on a day trip from Hanoi, but if you have the time, I recommend a 1-night 2-day cruise.

A place you must visit once.. If only there was no water, it would feel like flying over countless peaks~

During our trip to Halong Bay, we were brought to visit the Ha Long Pearl where they rear mussels and cultivate exquisite pearls. They gave us a tour around the farm and we got to witness how they picked the pearls, refined them with tools and crafted them into the perfect shapes and textures ready for use. These skilful master craftsmen then transform these pearls into one-of-a-kind jewellery. I was amazed at the whole process and gained respect for the people who do this incredible works of art. My overall rating of the experience: 5 out of 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #artshunting #tripmoments #pearlfarm #art #jewellery #mustvisit #halongbay #vietnam
