Ha Long Bay has unexpectedly risen from 12th to 4th position in the list of the World’s 28 Natural Wonders.

Iguaru Waterfall in Argentina and Brazil now tops the list, followed by the Great Barrier Reef in Australia and Papua New Guinea. The third position has been taken by Komodo in Indonesia.

When entering the third phase of the vote for the World’s Seven Natural Wonders, Vietnam’s Ha Long Bay has a good start and hopes to receive much more support from overseas Vietnamese and the global community as a whole.
