- Hoa Lu Temples of the Dinh & Le Dynasties - The first stop in Ninh Binh is the ancient capital of Hoa Lu. Visit the historic King Dinh and Le temples. The main attractions are the temples where the Emperors and royal family members, who ruled over 1000 years ago, are honored: Dinh Tien Hoang Emperor Temple, Le Dai Hanh Emperor Temple, and Phat Kim Princess Temple (Phat Kim was the ill-fated daughter of Dinh Tien Hoang Emperor). Additionally, Hoa Lu preserves remnants of the ancient fortress built by the Dinh dynasty over 1000 years ago. The Imperial site, buried 3 meters underground, is a fascinating place to explore. Visitors can view ancient artifacts used by the royal family.
- Rustic Garden Tam Coc Bar & Restaurant - Continue the tour with a 30-minute bike ride around the village to experience local life. Please note that this is a casual biking activity and not a professional cycling event. It’s a fun, complimentary part of the tour. (You can opt out of cycling if you prefer, and instead relax, take photos, or wait for others to finish the biking activity). Then, enjoy a buffet lunch featuring Vietnamese cuisine at our restaurant and take some time to relax.
- Trang An Departure Boat Ticket - In the afternoon, arrive at the Trang An boat dock for an exhilarating sampan boat trip through caves and along a stunning river surrounded by limestone karsts rich in flora and fauna. The Trang An eco-tourism site is often referred to as “Ha Long Bay on land.” The serene environment is only interrupted by the sound of the boats. Visitors can admire the white reed flowers at the foothills while enjoying the fresh air and mountain views, creating a magical experience.
- Hang Gai Street (Street of Hemp) - After visiting Trang An, board the bus back to Hanoi. You will arrive in Hanoi around 6:30pm - 7:00pm, where you will be dropped off at your hotel, marking the end of the trip.
