Morning

Before departing on the Ninh Binh discovery tour, the car and tour guide will pick up the group at the Opera House or at the hotel in the Hanoi Old Quarter at around 7:30 - 8:00. After that, the group will head to Ninh Binh, with a stop at a rest stop for about 20 minutes on the way.

The group's first stop in Ninh Binh is the Hoa Lu Ancient Capital - a system of historical relics associated with the Hoa Lu capital of the ancient Dai Co Viet country, recognized as one of the particularly important national relics of Vietnam, and one of the three core areas of the Trang An scenic complex - a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The relics in Hoa Lu reflect the historical imprints of three dynasties: the Dinh Dynasty, the Tien Le Dynasty and the early period of the Ly Dynasty, lasting from the time of Dinh Tien Hoang to Ly Thai To.

Here, you will visit the Temple of King Dinh and King Le, which are special spiritual and historical structures, preserving the sacred imprints of the ancient capital of Hoa Lu. This is a must-see stop for visitors to Ninh Binh, because not only can you admire the ancient, sophisticated architecture bearing the imprint of national culture in harmony with the majestic mountains and nature, but you also have the opportunity to learn about a glorious period of Vietnamese history - the period when the first centralized feudal state was established after more than a thousand years of Chinese domination.

Enjoy a buffet lunch at a local restaurant.

Afternoon

Continue your journey to admire the Tam Coc tourist area, which stands out for its charming beauty, where the Ngo Dong River winds through limestone mountains and vast rice fields. The space here is both poetic, lyrical, peaceful and bears the imprint of culture and history, creating a harmonious picture between nature and people.

While sitting on a boat through the caves, you will have the opportunity to admire the shimmering natural stalactites, creating a magical and enchanting scene. Especially, in the ripe rice season, both sides of the river are covered in a brilliant yellow color, adding to the poetic and impressive journey.

Next, you will have the opportunity to cycle around the rustic village roads imbued with the Northern countryside and feel the peaceful life here. Visitors can also freely visit, take pictures and keep memorable moments in the poetic Tam Coc.

The whole group moves to Mua Cave located in the core area of ​​Trang An Heritage, standing out with ancient limestone mountains and majestic landscapes. The most attractive point is the nearly 500 stone steps leading to the top of Mua Mountain, modeled after the Great Wall of China. From here, visitors can admire the panoramic view of Tam Coc with its majestic mountains and unique nature.

Around 16:30 - 17:00, you will gather on the bus to return to Hanoi. On the way back, the group will have time to stop to rest and choose to buy local specialties as gifts. It is expected that around 19:30 - 20:00, the bus and tour guide will take you back to the original pick-up point. See you again on the next memorable journeys!
