Start your journey with a 90 km drive south of Hanoi to reach Ninh Binh, once the capital of ancient Vietnam. The drive offers glimpses of rural Vietnamese life, with lush green fields and small villages. Upon arrival, visit Hoa Lu, the ancient capital of Vietnam.

Next, enjoy a boat trip to Tam Coc. You will be surprised by the charming beauty here with paddy fields, rivers, water, clouds, sky, and a stunning cave system during the boat trip. All make a masterpiece that the Vietnamese called “Ha Long Bay on land.” Gliding through the water, spectacular limestone karsts rise from the green paddy fields.
