Explore & Relax in Northern Vietnam
Discover the scenery and culture of Northern Vietnam, staying in boutique accommodation in serene locations.
Embark on a tranquil bike ride along a secluded trail, passing rice fields away from the usual tourist crowds. The path offers breathtaking views of the picturesque limestone mountains. Stop at Dancing Cave and take a short hike to the summit of Hang Mua for a panoramic view of Tam Coc.
Enjoy a leisurely lunch at a local restaurant before driving approximately 3km to Bich Dong Pagoda - an ancient three-tiered cave pagoda. Accessible only by steep stone steps, the climb is rewarded with a charming pagoda and breathtaking views from the top. Proceed to explore the remnants of the once-majestic citadel of Hoa Lu, the ancient capital of the Dinh and Le dynasties dating back to the 11th century. A climb of around 200 steps unveils a bird’s-eye view of the countryside.
Conclude the day with a short drive to Bai Dinh Pagoda, a Buddhist complex on the hillside. This is a great spot to watch the sunset, with limestone formations and vast rice paddy fields in the distance.
