Once upon a time, there was a dragon.
While out playing with his dragon friends way up in the clouds, he happened to look down and became enamored with the beauty of the misty waters he saw below. Like a gay man who spotted better eye candy on another street, he quickly abandoned his friends and, with the movement of a darting snake, descended upon these waters.
Upon discovering that the water was too shallow for a luxurious spa and bath and that it barely covered his long, segmented belly, he burrowed into the earth with his large, unclipped dragon nails and scaly dragon toes to deepen it. He worked long and hard, knowing that the ultimate reward was a relaxing cold bath under beautiful starry skies. However, the earth was hard and unforgiving, and his progress was slow.
To this day, this determined dragon continues to dig in these waters, ignoring the calls of his heavenly dragon friends who have now adorned themselves with shiny accessories from Prada and Gucci, made of snake skin. Parts of his body protrude out of the surface of the water, appearing to be ranges of hilly islands, so the mortals call this body of water Ha Long (Descending Dragon) Bay.


A beauty of heavenly dragon scale.
