Discover the Hoa Lu ancient capital and Trang An - Eco tourism complex We will pick you up at your hotel and drive two hours to Ninh Binh Province. There, we will stop to visit Hoa Lu, the Ancient Capital of Vietnam in the 10th and 11th century. The city stood as the capital for 41 years (968 - 1009), the first 12 years of which were under the Dinh Dynasty of King Dinh Tien Hoang. Later, the Le Dynasty under the reign of King Le Dai Hanh for 29 years. Both King Dinh and King Le had temples dedicated to them here. After lunch at a local restaurant, we will take an amazing boat trip to visit Trang An Grottoes, which are known as Vietnam’s “Inland Ha Long”. With a gathering of 31 valleys and 50 cross-water caves, Trang An is home to 600 different species of flora and over 200 types of fauna, many of them rare and endangered. Rowing through Trang An Grottoes is a nice experience. The quiet fresh air of the highlands is broken only by the sound of birds chirping and the oars stirring the clear water. Look closely as you float to see the wild white goats grazing on the forested mountains that rise up from the water. Trang An Grottoes is truly one of the most beautiful sights in Vietnam. After the boat trip, we will return to Ha Noi.
