Halong Bay is in the top amazing world wonders

In the stunning list of landscapes and rocky mountains announced by the BBC, Halong Bay ranks second only to Turkey's Fairy Chimneys.

Fairy Chimneys Rocky Mountain, Turkey: The rocky look like these strange cone towers is found in Cappadocia, Turkey. A few million years ago, volcanic eruptions erupted ash covered the ground. Over time, rainwater and winds erode, leaving hard dry basalt soil layers to create the chimneys of today's chimneys.

Halong Bay, Vietnam: Spectacular views of Halong Bay are adorned by limestone pillars and beautiful caves. The rock here is formed by the rise and fall of seawater over 500 million years. The bay has more than 1,600 large and small islands, most of which are inhabited by no inhabitants. According to legend, dragons have created islands and rocky mountains to protect the country against foreign invaders.

Sahara Desert, Mauritania: Located in the Sahara Desert, this place is also known as the "Richat Structure". It is a dome shaped stone structure, about 50 km in diameter, viewed from above as a hemispherical. Initially, desert eye formation was thought to be due to the impact of meteorites. But recent theories suggest that it is actually a product of geological erosion over time.

Giant Green Hole, Belize: Giant Green Hole is characterized by submersible, 320 m wide and 125 m deep. It is part of the Belize Barrier and Mesoamerican reefs. It is thought to have formed during the Ice Age when a limestone karst system collapsed due to changes in sea level. Stalactites are found in pits of great value in understanding the climate of the past.

Moeraki Pebbles, New Zealand: Situated on Koekohe beach in New Zealand, the Moeraki spherical boulders look like giant tortoiseshells. They were formed by the sedimentation of the sea floor more than 60 million years ago. According to Maori Aboriginal folklore, this cobblestone is a remnant of eel baskets, baskets drifting ashore from sinking ships.

Zhangye Geological Park Danxia, ​​China: The remote lookout rings look like a picture. The terrain in Danxia, ​​Gansu Province, China is formed from red sandstone fragments and sediments that have accumulated for millions of years. Thanks to the unique and exotic shapes in this area, the Zhangye Danxia Geological Park became an attractive tourist attraction.

The lunar valley, Argentina: Drought, rugged or barren are the characteristics you associate when it comes to this moon-like land. However, this is actually a fossilized cemetery of many of the oldest dinosaurs, fish, amphibians, reptiles and more than 100 plant species ... formed 200 to 250 million years ago.

Rock Formation, Australia: This hollow rock is 14 m high and 110 m long, located in Hyden National Park, Western Australia. Meanwhile, the waves are thought to be formed by the flow of water through the granite. The streaks of color on the surface of the rock are derived from the minerals deposited after rainwater flows through.

Rock Forest, China: The pile of sharp limestone rocks higher than 10 m, grow close together to create a magnificent landscape as a rock forest. It was formed 270 million years ago when it was a shallow sea. Sandstone and limestone accumulate perennially in a depression and are pushed up into the air. Then, through the action of water, the wind created these spectacular blocks. Today, this rock is recognized by UNESCO as a World Natural Heritage.

Chocolate Hills, Philippines: There are about 1500 limestone hills in Bohol Province, Philippines. They are often covered in green by grass, but in the dry season these hills quickly turn dark brown. It was recognized by the Philippines government as the National Geological Observatory in 1988.
