Galaxy Cruise, Ha Long Bay, Vietnam

Ha Long Bay view map

I was very disappointed to see Ha Long Bay tour boats or Junks with the traditional brown color are now all white. It's terrible since the rust and discoloration can be seen all over the white boat http://www.bhayacruises.com/Articles/1231/1246/blog/why-the-whole-halong-bay-scenery-is-going-to-change-dramatically-in-the-next-coming-months.html and http://www.tuoitrenews.vn/cmlink/tuoitrenews/lifestyle/non-white-boats-banned-in-ha-long-bay-from-may-1.69783

It's a crazy decision to paint the boats white. They have lost all their character and will soon look tacky and run down. Maybe if enough tourists complain, they can go back to their former glory.
