2. Our private tour guide and driver will pick you up at your hotel for a 2-hour journey from Hanoi to Ninh Binh. The first stop is Hoa Lu Ancient Capital (King Dinh & King Le Temples) Hoa Lu Ancient Capital, located in Ninh Binh Province, is one of Vietnam’s most important historical sites. It served as the nation’s first capital in the 10th century under the Dinh and Early Le dynasties. Surrounded by dramatic limestone mountains and natural moats, Hoa Lu was strategically chosen for both defense and political stability. Today, visitors can explore the well-preserved temples dedicated to King Dinh Tien Hoang and King Le Dai Hanh, two national heroes who laid the foundation for Vietnam’s independence after more than a thousand years of Chinese domination. The temples feature traditional Vietnamese architecture, stone dragon carvings, ancient courtyards, and peaceful scenery that reflect the spirit of the former royal capital.

3. Second stop: Mua Cave Mua Cave (Hang Múa), located near Tam Coc in Ninh Binh Province, is one of the most spectacular viewpoints in northern Vietnam. Often referred to as the “Great Wall of Vietnam,” the site is famous for its stone staircase of nearly 500 steps leading to the summit of Ngoa Long Mountain. From the top, visitors are rewarded with breathtaking panoramic views of Tam Coc’s winding Ngo Dong River, golden rice fields, and dramatic limestone karsts rising from the valley below. The scenery changes beautifully with the seasons, especially during the rice harvest when the landscape turns vibrant yellow. At the mountain peak stands a majestic stone dragon statue, symbolizing power and prosperity, making it a favorite spot for photography. Combining natural beauty, light adventure, and iconic views, Mua Cave is a must-visit destination for travelers exploring Ninh Binh.

About Hanoi

Hanoi, capitale del Vietnam: templi sul lago, viali coloniali francesi e un Quartiere Vecchio dove cibo di strada e scooter riempiono ogni vicolo.

Le strette strade del Quartiere Vecchio, ciascuna un tempo dedicata a un solo mestiere, si trovano appena a nord del lago Hoan Kiem, dove il Ponte rosso di Huc porta al Tempio della Montagna di Giada. Si passeggia all'alba per vedere il tai chi in riva all'acqua, o dopo il tramonto, quando i marciapiedi si riempiono di bancarelle di cibo e bassi sgabelli di plastica.

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