Quang Ninh - The high tide on the morning of November 20 at a record level forced some services on Ha Long Bay to be temporarily suspended; at some points, tourists had to wade through the water to visit.
This morning (November 20), the sea level rose to about 4.3m. This is considered the highest level ever. Yesterday (November 19), the high tide peaked at 4.2m, causing many residential areas in Ha Long City to be deeply submerged in seawater.
Just like yesterday, today, tourists visiting Sung Sot Cave in Ha Long Bay had to wade from the boat anchorage point because the sea level was too high. At Luon Cave, the bamboo boat rowing service had to be temporarily suspended because there was no longer enough safe height to row the bamboo boat into the cave.
