Today, we will leave Hanoi for a 2,5-hour drive to Trang An Landscape Complex was recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in June 2014 and is a spectacular landscape of limestone karst peaks permeated with valleys, some of which are submerged, and surrounded by vertical cliffs.
Start the trip at Hoa Lu ancient capital. It was the capital of the first centralized feudal state in Vietnam at the end of the 10th century after nearly 1000 years of Northern domination. The ravages of time have destroyed the ancient citadel but some vestiges including the temples of King Dinh and King Le still stand today among the rice paddies and are a worthwhile visit to get a glimpse of the ancient Vietnamese past. Enjoy lunch at a local restaurant in Ninh Binh then continue to Tam Coc - “Ha Long Bay in Land” for a 2-hour row-boat journey.

Enjoy the beauty of the karsts formations as you pass along their base and row into several of the 3 caves carved through the limestone and paddy fields. (Boat is rowed by local farmers).

The scenery of Ha Long Bay where 1.969 limestone islands jut out of the emerald sea, sculpted into bizarre shapes is truly an iconic image for Vietnam.

In the afternoon, enjoy some visits and/or activities (depending on each boat’s itinerary) or just spend some time relaxing on the cruise.
