Discover the natural beauty around the Vietnamese province with this Ninh Binh Day Trip from Hanoi. You'll travel to the ancient capital Hoa Lu, Mua Cave and visit Van Long Nature Reserve.
Ninh Binh Day Trip
We'll pick you up at your hotel in Hanoi at 7 am to take you to Ninh Binh Province, which is about two hours away by bus.
Our first stop will be in Hoa Lu, the former capital of the Vietnamese Empire, to visit the temples dedicated to the Dinh and Le dynasties. The entrance to the imperial city has been completely restored, due to nature eroding the stone. It will leave you speechless!
Next, we'll take you to the Dancing Cave, known to tourists as "the princess of Ninh Binh". We'll climb almost 500 steps to find this amazing spot located in a plain surrounded by hills and mountains, Mua Cave is one of the most spectacular places to enjoy the tranquillity and panoramic views over Tam Coc.
Afterwards, we'll stop for lunch at a local restaurant, where we'll enjoy tasting some of the most traditional dishes from the area.
After lunch, we'll get on a bicycle to go to the Bich Dong Pagoda, three small temples perfectly integrated with nature and the mountains of Tam Coc. Time to pedal!
To finish our tour, we'll board a boat to tour the Van Long Nature Reserve. Here we'll admire some of the last specimens of Delacour's Langur, some primates in danger of extinction.
We'll arrive back in Hanoi around 6:30 pm.
