Trip overview

The capital of Hoa Lư covers an area of 300 ha (3.0 km²), including both the Inner and Outer Citadels. It included defensive earthen walls, palaces, temples and shrines, and was surrounded and protected by mountains of limestone. Today, the ancient citadel no longer exists, and few vestiges of the 10th century still remain.

Trang An ecotourism site is considered the "Ha Long Bay in the land". From the distance, visitors have the opportunity to perceive the white flowers of the reeds in the foothills. While enjoying fresh air and mountain scenery, visitors are made to be lost into a magical world.

And the Day tour Hoa Lu & Trang An bring you boating, history, excavation learning and an optional cycling choice for those who loves biking.
