Stop At: Hoa Lu Temple, Ninh Binh Vietnam

For a county’s capital city, Hoa Lu was a natural geographic choice because of the limestone mountains keeping the city well-hidden from potential invaders. Even today, most of the mountains surrounding Hoa Lu are accessible only to the mountain goats! Northwest of the city is bordered by the Hoang Long River, which also runs through the citadel. It cooled the city in the sticky summer months and provided a convenient waterway for trade and other businesses.

Duration: 1 hour

Stop At: Tam Coc, Ninh Binh 430000 Vietnam

With limestone outcrops amid serene rice paddies, Tam Coc is best appreciated on a languorous rowing-boat ride, with the soundtrack of the river lapping against the oars.

Duration: 3 hours

Stop At: Bich Dong Pagoda, Ngu Nhac Son Mountains, Ninh Binh 430000 Vietnam

Bich Dong Pagoda is situated at just 3 km away from Tam Coc, Ninh Binh Province. What I loved about it was that there were not many tourists and the place had such a peaceful atmosphere. This pagoda is definitely worth seeing if you are in the Ninh Binh Province for more than two days.

Ben the guide was very friendly and spoke very good English. The car that drove us to Ninh Binh and back fro Hanoi was comfortable and air conditioned. Hoa Lu and Tam Coc were beautiful. My partner and I felt that we paid a lot of money for a private tour and the lunch was poor quality, the content of the history was general and non-specific and the bike ride was mostly through the town with some nice views but nothing like the mountain top view down over the river and rice fields we were expecting. Thanks for the experience, but there is room for improvement.
