On September 14, Ha Long Bay in Vietnam was placed 4th in the poll for the seven new wonders of the world.

The standings are complied by the NewOpenWorld organisation and people can vote for the new wonders at http://www.New7wonders.com.

To help the Bay maintain its position, many activities to raise public awareness of the bay as well as promotion campaigns and guidelines on voting have been conducted.
