Hoa Lư, an ancient capital, was situated in a flat plane surrounded by small, yet precipitous limestone mountains, which created nearly indomitable obstacles for human movements. Even at present, several of these mountains can only be scaled by the local mountain goats that inhabit the region.

The area of Tam Cốc, translating to ‘three caves’, is a complex of three natural caves — Hang Cả, Hang Hai and Hang Ba — located on the Ngô Đồng River. Visitors are transported in petite boats across the river, beginning at the Ván Lâm village, passing the rice farmlands and limestone karsts, travelling through the caves, and returning on the same route. The local women, serving as guides, offer embroidered merchandise to the tourists. These guides are famed for their dexterity in rowing the boats using their feet.
