Hạ Long Bay was the setting for historical naval battles against Vietnam's coastal neighbors. On three occasions, in the maze of channels in Bach Dang River near the islands, the Vietnamese army stopped the Chinese invaders from landing. In 1288, General Tran Hung Dao stopped Mongol ships from sailing up the nearby Bach Dang River by placing steel-tipped wooden stakes at high tide, sinking the Mongol Kublai Khan's fleet.
