Halong Bay – famous for its spectacular karst rocks and paradisiacal bays. According to legend, powerful dragons once created the islands of precious stones, thus protecting the Vietnamese from invaders by an impenetrable wall. Halong Bay is a unique haven of biodiversity. Where islands are surrounded by the sea today, there used to be a fertile landscape surrounded by steep cliffs. But at the end of the ice age, the sea level begins to rise worldwide. The landscape is flooded and the unique island world emerges. The film focuses on the diversity and uniqueness of this habitat as well as its history of formation. Through modern CGI, we turn back time and witness the dynamic geological processes that created this rocky landscape. Halong Bay – this beautiful natural wonder takes us on a journey through the history of our planet.
