Highlights

Tràng An Landscape Complex in Ninh Bình is a breathtaking blend of natural and cultural heritage, often dubbed the "Ha Long Bay on land." The area features towering karst peaks, lush valleys, and a winding network of crystal-clear rivers and flooded caves, which visitors explore by traditional sampan boat. This UNESCO World Heritage site encompasses Hoa Lư, the ancient capital of Vietnam in the 10th and 11th centuries. Today, Hoa Lư is marked by temples dedicated to the Dinh and Le dynasties, providing a profound historical link to the nation's early independence. The combination of spectacular natural beauty and deep historical significance makes Tràng An – Hoa Lư a truly unforgettable destination.

About Hanoi

Hanoi, Vietnam's capital, mixes lakeside temples, French colonial boulevards and an Old Quarter where street food and scooters fill every lane.

The Old Quarter's narrow streets, each once devoted to a single trade, sit just north of Hoan Kiem Lake, where the red Huc Bridge leads to the Temple of the Jade Mountain. Wander at dawn to see tai chi by the water, or after dark when the pavements fill with food stalls and low plastic stools.

Top-ranked sights in Hanoi: Ha Long Bay, Hanoi Old Quarter, Long Bien Bridge (Cau Long Bien).
