HOA LU – TAM COC (1 Day)

Located in Ninh Binh province 100km southeast of Hanoi, Hoa Lu and Tam Coc are two of the most picturesque spots in all of the north. For 41 years, from 968 to 1009 CE, Hoa Lu was the ancient capital of Vietnam. Nearby Tam Coc is often referred to as “Ha Long among the rice paddies”. Visitors are conveyed by rowboat along the peaceful Tam Coc stream past green fields and the feet of mountains into the mouths of caves, where they encounter new surprises, like stalactites and stalagmites that shimmer like gemstones just inches from the water.



Itinerary
7.45: We pick you up at your hotel
8.30: Departure for Hoa Lu – Tam Coc. There is beautiful roadside scenery on the way.
10.30: After arriving in Ninh Binh province, the guide takes you to visit Hoa Lu – the ancient Royal capital of Vietnam. We will visit Dinh Kinh temple and Le Kinh temple. If you like to go biking, it is a good idea. You will have chance to visit real villages and amazing landscapes by bicycle about one hour (from Hoa Lu capital to restaurant).
12.10: you will have lunch at a nice restaurant before boarding a small boat to visit Tam Coc, meaning literally, “three caves” with Ha Long type views of majestic limestone cliffs and mysterious yet inviting caves, as well as countryside sights, like peaceful streams, rice paddies and deserted green fields, Tam Coc really has it all.
