• Hoa Lu Ancient Capital - Hoa Lu served as Vietnam’s capital in the 10th and 11th centuries, acting as the nation’s political and cultural hub under the Dinh, Early Le, and Ly dynasties. Situated in Ninh Bình province, approximately 90 kilometers south of Hanoi, this ancient site is encircled by striking limestone mountains and verdant valleys.

The capital’s location was strategically selected for its natural defenses and proximity to both the Red River Delta and the sea. It thrived for over 40 years before relocating to Thang Long (present-day Hanoi) in 1010 during the Ly Dynasty’s rule.

Today, Hoa Lu is a significant archaeological and historical site. Visitors can explore the remains of ancient temples dedicated to former emperors, such as the Dinh Tien Hoang Temple and the Le Dai Hanh Temple.

• Mua Caves - Múa Cave, also known as Múa Cave, is a breathtaking natural attraction in Ninh Bình Province, northern Vietnam. Part of the Múa Cave complex, it is located at the base of Múa Mountain in the Hoa Lư District, renowned for its dramatic karst landscapes and historical importance. Múa Cave is both a cultural and natural landmark, attracting visitors with its scenic beauty, historical sites, and the challenging hike that offers panoramic views of the area.

The main highlight of Múa Cave is the ascent up Múa Mountain, often referred to as the “stairway to heaven” due to its 500 stone steps leading to the peak. The hike can be moderately challenging, but the reward is a breathtaking view of the surrounding landscape, including the Trang An Scenic Landscape Complex and the meandering Ngo Dong River flowing through lush valleys and rice fields.

• Bich Dong Pagoda - Bich Dong Pagoda is a prominent tourist destination in Ninh Binh. As a spiritual center, it provides a peaceful retreat, guiding pilgrims and tourists on a journey to the sacred realm of Buddhism amidst serene mountains.
• Tam Coc - The Tam Coc bamboo boat ride offers a peaceful journey through one of Vietnam’s most stunning landscapes. Seated in a traditional hand-rowed sampan, local boatwomen gently paddle visitors along the Ngo Dong River, navigating between towering limestone karsts, lush rice fields, and mysterious caves. The name “Tam Coc” translates to “Three Caves,” and during the ride, travelers pass through Hang Ca, Hang Hai, and Hang Ba — natural water tunnels carved through the mountains.
