HANOI (Vietnam News/Asia News Network): The iconic Kissing Rocks, emblematic of Ha Long Bay in Quang Ninh’s northern province, face threats due to geological processes and rising seawater levels, as highlighted by a study from the Institute of Geosciences and Mineral Resources.

Covering an area of about 1,553 sq km, the bay boasts significant geological and geomorphological value, making it a distinct tourist attraction not just for Quang Ninh but also for the northern region.
