Your Travel Experience with Finest Journeys
Boat Tour of Trang An
Your day begins with a scenic drive of about 100 km from your hotel to the Trang An Scenic Landscape Complex, a UNESCO World Heritage Site located in Ninh Binh province. Once you arrive, you’ll take a peaceful sampan boat ride along the turquoise river that winds through a series of caves and limestone peaks. The landscape, with its striking mix of emerald waters, towering cliffs, and clear skies, offers a serene and memorable experience. Guided by skilled local rowers, the boat trip typically lasts 2-3 hours, allowing ample time to enjoy the untouched beauty of the area. In the afternoon, head to Hoa Lu, Vietnam’s first capital, established in the 11th century under the Dinh Dynasty. This historical site once served as both a political hub and a strategic defense against invaders from the north. Later, it became the seat of the Le Dynasty. You’ll visit two ancient temples: one dedicated to Dinh Tien Hoang, the first emperor of the Dinh Dynasty, and the other honoring the kings of the Le Dynasty. These temples, though weathered by time, still showcase intricate stone and wood carvings that reflect the craftsmanship of their era. The tour concludes with your return to Hanoi.
