Visit ancient temples and enjoy a bamboo boat ride through caves
Get picked up at your hotel in the Old Quarter and head to Ninh Binh province. Visit Hoa Lu, the ancient royal capital of Vietnam, including Dinh King Temple and Le King Temple. Then, continue to Tam Coc, located 10 kilometers from Hoa Lu. Reach Mua Cave and climb 500 steps to the top of Mua Mountain, where you'll enjoy views of the Hoa Lu area. Enjoy lunch at a local restaurant before boarding a bamboo boat rowed by locals on the Hoang Long River. Travel through Tam Coc, passing through three large caves, local fishers, riverside villages, and limestone formations. The boat ride lasts around two hours. Board the bus for your return to Hanoi, where your trip will end.
