Just east of Ha Long Bay is Bai Tu Long Bay. Both of these places share many of the same geological characteristics, the exception being that Bai Tu Long is a bit of a hidden gem and has a lot fewer tourists. This is what makes Bai Tu Long such an interesting alternative to northeastern Vietnam's most popular destination. With limestone karst islands just as impressive as those in Ha Long Bay, Bai Tu Long doesn't have as many grottos but is equally beautiful.

The Tareq Rajab Museum of Islamic Calligraphy is a highly specialised institution dedicated entirely to the art of Arabic script. Housed in a private villa just blocks away from the Tareq Rajab Museum, it showcases a vast and diverse collection that spans centuries, from a rare 7th-century Hijazi folio to works by master calligraphers. The exhibits demonstrate the application of calligraphy across various mediums, including manuscripts, ceramics, metalwork, and textiles. More than a historical archive, the museum presents calligraphy as a living, evolving art form, offering a profound and intimate exploration of one of the Islamic world's most revered artistic traditions.
