Attractions of Halong Bay #12 Ban Sen Island
Ban Sen is one of the newer destinations in Halong Bay. In recent years this has been used more because of its potential as a delightful place for trekking. It sits in the middle of the bay a good hour from the Halong quayside. the area of Ban Sen covers an area of around 140 square kilometres of which about half is made up of the islands.
The island group is uninhabited and houses at least 6 caves. The island is also close to Quan Lan, famous for its beaches and Minh Chau which has one of the most unique and important primeval forests in Vietnam. In 2008 they constructed a road to from Ban Sen to Tan Lap village on Quan Lan and a footbridge on to Minh Chau.
Trekking throughout this whole area is a very pleasurable experience. There are a few small cafe style restaurants selling amazing seafood. The landscape is, like everywhere else in Halong Bay, spectacular.

I have been developing the InSeAsia website for three years. It genuinely is a labour of love. I have lived in Southeast Asia for 9 years and have no plans to ever leave.
I am extremely grateful to anyone who follows me, up votes, comments or re-steems my work.
Come and check me out. If ever you come to Saigon, Vietnam get in touch and we can meet up.
