Description

• To start this trip, our guide will pick you up from your hotel. • If you choose to visit Bai Dinh Pagoda, the guide will take you to this temple. There you can admire the giant statues of the Golden Buddha and learn more about Buddhism, the most popular religion in Vietnam. You will visit a sacred temple built long ago, surrounded by rows of large ancient trees. Then, you will explore an ancient pagoda that is more than 1,000 years old located on a mountainside in Vietnam, a pagoda that has been closely associated with the historical events of the ancient kings of Vietnam. • You will then taste refined dishes rich in Vietnamese flavors. You will continue to Trang An, where you will take a boat ride along the Trang An Stream to visit the Trang An cave complex and temples. This place combines majestic and poetic natural beauty. The magnificent nature found there is composed of giant limestone mountains, amazing caves, and winding rivers. You will take a 2.5-hour boat tour to admire the caves, valleys, streams, lakes, limestone mountains, historical remains, and unique architecture. You will take a boat ride through long, dangerous caves to see the magical stalactites created by nature. While relaxing on the boat, you can admire the clear blue water and the majestic mountains silhouetted against each other. The surface of the water, accompanied by the gentle sound of flowing water and the wind, will undoubtedly give you wonderful experiences. You will observe the mixture of towering mountains wrapped in natural tropical forest and narrow caves filled with quietly flowing water, creating a landscape of unusual beauty and tranquility. • Finish the tour by going to Hang Mua, one of the most beautiful viewpoints in Ninh Binh, and conquering the Dragon. You will climb to the top and witness a breathtaking sunset. You will have to climb more than 500 steps, which will certainly be a rather difficult and challenging journey, as you will have to conquer high and dangerous stairs, but then you will discover the magnificent panorama of Ninh Binh, you will feel the majesty of the mountains, you will admire a river flowing among the rice fields, with small boats sailing on it. This magnificent natural scene will remain forever etched in your memory. Then, one of the activities not to be missed in Hang Mua is to walk around Thung Sen and admire the beauty of the lotus, the national flower of Vietnam, whose pale pink flowers are beginning to bloom. The flower is simple, but indescribably beautiful.
