Halong Bay - very different from Ko Phi Phi?

Hi!
In December we are going to Thailand and Vietman.
Please let me know if Halog Bay is very different from Ko Phi Phi.
Once I saw Ko Phi Phi and Pha Nga Bay, maybe there is nothing new in/no need to see also Halong Bay?

Please advise.

Ko Phi Phi leaves it for dead. Krabi makes it look like cr*p. The Thai sites are basically clean. Halong is a wet rubbish tip. For the Seven Wonders joke many people here in true Viet style were putting in a hundred votes themselves.

I didn't think it was quite that bad!! Rather enjoyed it! Especially waking up on a boat in the bay and seeing the morning mists over the water and the karsts rising spectacularly out of the ocean. But, it is very similar to Krabi. And indeed, some stretches along China's Yangtze. Still worth a visit though if you have the time, in my opinion.

Krabi leaves it for dead. Worth visiting once though.
