Along Bay - Along Wan (English name) Vinh A Long

Japanese: アロン湾 - アロンわん（英語表記）Vinh A Long

A bay in northeastern Vietnam. It faces a coastline of about 100 km from Hai Phong to Hon Gai, and outside the bay are the Huai Tri Long archipelago. The archipelago is made up of numerous rocky islands made of limestone, most of which are 40 to 100 m high. The bay was formed when the low mountains that make up the border with China collapsed onto the coast, and its scenery of oddly shaped rocks has long been considered a scenic spot in Vietnam, and it developed as a resort area during the French colonial period. The inside of the bay is shallow, but the area outside the archipelago is deep, allowing large ships to navigate. [Bessagi Atsuhiko]

ベトナム北東部の湾。ハイフォンからホンゲイまで約100kmの海浜に臨み，湾の外側にはファイ･チ･ロン群島がある。群島は石灰岩より成る岩の多い無数の島々から成り，大部分は40～100mの高さをもつ。湾は中国国境をなす低山地が海岸に至って陥没したもので，奇岩怪石のその風景は古くからベトナムの名勝とされ，フランス植民地時代には休養地としても発達した。湾内は浅いが群島の外側は深く，大船が航行できる。【別技篤彦】
