Nature generously blesses the land of Hoa Lu & Ninh Binh, a region of breathtaking beauty with majestic mountain ranges. Dedicate a full day to visit and learn about the culture and people here.
According to history, in 968 AD, after quelling the rebellion, Dinh Bo Linh ascended to the throne as the first feudal emperor of our country, establishing Hoa Lu as the capital. Hoa Lu is associated with the three dynasties of Dinh – Le – Ly, making this land considered a 'sacred land' with many famous Vietnamese historical figures.
9:30 AM: After parking your vehicle and purchasing tickets, head to visit the Hoa Lu Ancient Capital complex. The temples of King Dinh and King Le are located in Truong Yen commune, Hoa Lu district. The Dinh temple covers an area of 5 hectares, within the special protected area of the monument. The temple is built in the 'internal construction, external nation' style, facing east. In front of the temple is Ma Yen mountain, shaped like a horse saddle. On the mountain is the tomb of King Dinh. Here, you can learn about the history of the Dinh and Le dynasties.
You can also experience being a 'field slave' by riding a buffalo, wearing a conical hat, and holding a bamboo whip, leisurely strolling through the vast rice fields.
11:30 AM: It takes about 25 minutes to travel by car from the Hoa Lu Ancient Capital to the Tam Coc – Bich Dong tourist area. You can dine at restaurants along the way or book a meal at a restaurant in Tam Coc, where there are more restaurants and convenient services.
