- Hoa Lu temples of the Dinh & Le Dynasties - The first destination of the day is Hoa Lu, the ancient capital of Vietnam during the Dinh and Le dynasties in the 10th century. This historical site is surrounded by striking limestone mountains and features well-preserved temples that pay tribute to the kings of Vietnam’s early dynasties. As you explore these historical landmarks, a local guide will share intriguing stories about the early foundations of Vietnam’s monarchy, enriching your experience.
- Trang An Landscape Complex - The boat journey lasts approximately 1.5 hours, and as you glide through serene waters, you’ll be captivated by the towering limestone peaks emerging from the jungle, creating a surreal atmosphere. Along the way, your boatman will navigate through caves and pass ancient pagodas tucked away in remote corners of the landscape. The breathtaking scenery of Trang An has made it a popular filming location, including the renowned Kong: Skull Island, and you’ll soon understand why.
- Mua Caves - Mua Cave is situated at the base of Mua Mountain, and the highlight of this visit is the climb to the mountain’s peak, where you’ll be rewarded with panoramic views of the surrounding countryside. The ascent involves climbing a series of stone steps (around 500 steps), but the effort is well worth it when you reach the top. From here, you’ll enjoy a stunning view of the lush green valley below, dotted with rice paddies, winding rivers, and the towering limestone peaks that Ninh Binh is famous for.
