• Hoa Lu temples of the Dinh & Le Dynasties - Spend a full day exploring the natural beauty and fascinating cultural heritage of Ninh Binh, the former capital city!

Around 7:30 – 08:00 AM, our driver and guide will pick you up from your hotel for a 2-hour drive to Ninh Binh. Located about 100 km south of Hanoi, Hoa Lu served as the capital of Vietnam under the Dinh Dynasty from 968 to 1009 AD. We will arrive in Hoa Lu around 10:00 AM and begin our visit with the Dinh and Le King Temples, where you’ll learn about the heroic histories of these two kings during the Chinese Wars.

Next, we’ll visit a local village for lunch with a local family. Enjoy delicious local food while your host shares insights about their life and culture.

After lunch, we’ll visit a nearby workshop that makes “Cơm cháy” (Crispy Rice Cake) before continuing our journey to Trang An for a scenic boat trip along the river. You’ll pass through various caves such as Sang Cave, Toi Cave, Ba Giot Cave, and Nau Ruou.

Later, we’ll disembark from the boat and drive to our next destination – Mua Cave. Climb the 500 stone steps to reach a viewpoint that offers a stunning panoramic view over the countryside, making the effort worthwhile.

We’ll get back into our luxury limousine around 04:30 PM and head back to Hanoi, marking the end of our services.
