According to local legend, when the Vietnamese people fought against the Chinese invaders, the gods sent a family of dragons to protect the earth. Dragons began to spit out the precious stones, which turned into the islands and islets, forming a protective wall.

Thanks to them, the people defended their land and founded a state, then called Vietnam. Later, the dragons also decided to settle here. The place where the dragon-mother went down to the sea and the coast with its tail broken into thousands of pieces, became known as Ha Long, and the place where later her children - Bai Tu Long.
