Itinerary

  1. Take a two-hour ride south of Ha Noi to Tam Coc - Bich Dong in Ninh Binh Province, known as Vietnam’s “Inland Ha Long Bay.” This UNESCO World Heritage site features a stunning system of limestone caves and historical relics from the Tran Dynasty. Experience an exciting day highlighted by a two-hour boat ride along the Tam Coc Stream. Enjoy spectacular scenery as you glide through the river, surrounded by lush rice paddies and majestic limestone mountain peaks. Tam Coc means "three grottos": Ca grotto, Hai grotto, and Ba grotto. As the boat enters these grottos, you will feel a refreshing coolness, with stalactites resembling iridescent pearls. The grottos are adorned with beautiful stalactites and stalagmites of various shapes and colors that sparkle like gemstones.

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).
