[[File:Bai Chay Bridge-Halong Vietnam-Andres Larin.jpg|thumb|left|Drone shot of [[Bãi Cháy Bridge]] in 2023]]
Hạ Long is divided into two parts. The eastern part, known colloquially as Hòn Gai, where most of the governing offices and industrial infrastructure are concentrated, is connected by a [[Bãi Cháy Bridge|cable-stayed bridge]] to the western part, [[Bãi Cháy]], known as an area for tourism.
== Location ==
Being a coastal city, Hạ Long bears unique potentials of tourism and seaport due to its land lies along the shore of Hạ Long Bay by 50 km. Hạ Long is 160 km to the north-east from [[Hanoi]], 60 km to the
== History ==
Humankind has been present in Hạ Long for a long time.
In 1883, during [[French Indochina|French rule]], the French carried out coal mining in the mines on the bay's coast. As many islands were populated with hemp, the French called them {{Lang|fr|Ile des brouilles}} or a name translated from "Hòn Gai" to "Hòn Gay", and later renamed them Hòn Gai. According to the researchers, "Hòn Gai" is a deviation from the place of the French Red Sea at that time. The "H" is a silent sound when spoken in French. During this period, Hòn Gai was an administrative unit of Quảng Yên province.
