About this tour

Ninh Binh is home to tourist attractions such as the ancient capital Hoa Lu, Trang An, and Tam Coc, which are registered as World Heritage Sites.
Afterwards, head to Ninh Binh for lunch, including Ninh Binh's famous goat meat dish, and then sightsee the ancient capital of Hoa Lu, Trang An, and Mua Cave.
"Ancient capital Hoa Lu" is a historic place where the capital of Vietnam's first independent dynasty was located, and was the capital until the capital was moved to the current capital Hanoi (formerly known as Thang Long). Visit the mausoleums of the first Emperor Dinh Tien Hoan and the second Emperor Le Dai Hanh, which were rebuilt in the 17th century.
"Trang An" is called Ha Long Bay on land. You can take a slow boat ride through a river that flows between strangely shaped rocks, pass through limestone caves that are just tall enough to pass through, and enjoy the beautiful scenery that looks like an ink painting.
``Mua Cave'' climbs about 500 stone steps and you can see the beautiful scenery of the Tam Coc River with rows of small boats and the strangely shaped rocks of Ninh Binh. Enjoy the spectacular view from the top of the mountain.
For dinner, enjoy the beef pho from "PHO 10 LY QUOC SU", which was selected as a Bib Gourmand by the Michelin Guide.
