Old Bai Chay Lighthouse is a moody coastal landmark overlooking Ha Long Bay’s silhouettes and shifting weather. Shoot wide establishing frames from the promenade, then tighter compositions of the white tower against stormy skies. Best light: sunrise for cool blue tones and fewer crowds; sunset for warm haze over the water. Accessible from Bãi Cháy, but expect limited parking near the shoreline—arrive early and use nearby lots or rideshare.
