Bãi Cháy is a ward in Vietnam. It, along with the eastern part known colloquially as Hòn Gai, together make up the city of Hạ Long. Known as the city's "tourism zone", many hotels, beach resorts and other tourism hotspots are located within Bãi Cháy. The ward was linked to Hòn Gai via a ferry line until the inauguration of the Bãi Cháy Bridge in 2006.
