Bay Of Descending Dragons....Literally

I usually have trouble with word choice.  Ha Long Bay, also known as the Bay Of Descending Dragons, is a mythical place.  The myth of Ha Long Bay is that a long time ago, when the locals were fighting off attackers from the North, the Gods sent down a family of valiant dragons to help fight off the attackers.  These dragons spit out jewels that formed into land when they hit the sea.  These land masses shielded Ha Long Bay from the invaders.  The locals could now keep their land safe!  After they helped, the Dragons fell deeply in love with the bay and decided to stay.  You can still see the shapes of the dragons in the rocks today in Ha Long Bay.  Do you like the dragons’ legend?
