My last holiday was 2 years ago with my family. We went to Ha Long Bay city, it took us two hours from our house to
the place by car. It was a beautiful place with beach and small island, i was very happy and excited. We spent 2 day

First day of vacation we came to the beach, the blue sky and the crystal sea water make me feel in peace, later then
we had our lunch at a local restaurant. The next day we went to a park which is called Tuan Chau and it 's very
famous there, we watched a circus performance and played some child game there. The holiday was so fun and i
want to visit Ha Long Bay more times in the future.
