Explore Hoa Lư, the first capital of Vietnam from 968 to 1010, closely linked to significant periods under the Đinh, Lê, and Lý dynasties. Once a vital political and military center, it was naturally fortified by towering limestone mountains. Today, Hoa Lư still preserves many historical relics, notably the temples of King Đinh Tiên Hoàng and King Lê Đại Hành, where visitors can admire ancient architecture and learn about the rulers who shaped the nation. Beyond its historical value, this land boasts breathtaking natural scenery, creating a perfect harmony between the past and the present.

Tam Coc, referred to as the “Halong Bay on Land”, stands out with the serpentine Ngo Dong River winding through vibrant golden rice fields and majestic limestone karsts. The journey to explore Tam Coc begins with a unique sampan boat ride, gliding through three magnificent caves—Hang Ca, Hang Hai, and Hang Ba, each possessing its own mystical charm. Beyond its captivating natural beauty, Tam Coc also reflects the rustic charm of Northern Vietnam’s countryside, where rice fields shift colors with the seasons.

Hang Mua is compared to a “miniature Great Wall of China”, with nearly 500 stone steps reaching to the Lying Dragon Mountain. From the top, visitors can admire a breathtaking panoramic view of Tam Coc, where the winding Ngo Dong River flows like a silk ribbon, weaving through golden rice fields and towering limestone mountains, creating a truly mesmerizing natural masterpiece.

Located in the stunning scenery of limestone mountains interleaved with rice fields, lakes, and swamp, Thai Vi Temple has made a fantastic impression on every tourist with its own ancient beauty of architecture and peaceful serene surroundings.
