We will pick you up at your hotel drive two hours to the Ninh Binh Province. There, we will stop to visit Hoa Lu- the Ancient Capital of Vietnam in the 10th and 11th centuries. The city stood as the the capital for 41 years (968 - 1009), the first 12 years of which were under the Dinh Dynasty of King Dinh Tien Hoang. Later the Le Dynasty under King Le Dai Hanh ruled for 29 years. Both King Dinh  and King Le have temples dedicated to them here.

After lunch at a local restaurant, we will take an amazing 3 km boat trip to Thung Nang. Known for its beautiful scenery and fresh air, Thung Nang is a wonder to behold. Its small villages are nestled peacefully along the Red River and its iconic rice fields will give you the feeling that you are looking at an art masterpiece. The water here is clear and teeming with plant and animal life, and visitors can marvel at the pristine landscape. We will also visit Bich Dong Temple  before heading back to Hanoi.
