Escape the bustling streets of Hanoi and journey to the breathtaking landscapes of Ninh Binh, often referred to as “Halong Bay on land.”

Your day begins with a convenient hotel pickup in Hanoi’s Old Quarter, followed by a comfortable drive through the countryside. After a short break along the way, arrive at the impressive Bai Dinh Pagoda—the largest Buddhist complex in Southeast Asia. Explore its vast grounds, featuring hundreds of Arhat statues, a giant bronze bell, and a massive Buddha statue, all set against a dramatic mountain backdrop.

Continue your journey with a relaxing lunch at a local restaurant, where you can enjoy Vietnamese cuisine while overlooking the scenic landscape of rivers and limestone peaks.

In the afternoon, head to the UNESCO-listed Trang An Scenic Landscape Complex for a tranquil boat ride. Glide along winding waterways, pass through natural caves, and admire the stunning karst formations that made this area famous—including its appearance in the film Kong: Skull Island. See the amazing beauty of this landscape with many caves such as Sang Cave (Light Cave), Toi Cave (Dack cave), and Nau Ruou Cave (Cooking Wine).

After the boat trip, relax as you return to Hanoi, arriving in the early evening with unforgettable memories of Vietnam’s natural beauty and cultural heritage.
