Hoa Lu was the seat of the Vietnamese dynasty about 1000 years ago. Today, you can see the mausoleums of the first emperor Dinh Tien Hoan and the second emperor Le Dai Hanh, reconstructed in the 17th century.

Tam Coc is a sightseeing spot where you can go down the river while watching the spectacular view of strangely shaped rocks. About 100 km from Hanoi, about 2 hours by car. The oddly shaped rocks jutting out from the countryside create a mysterious world. It is also called "Halong Bay on land" because it resembles the scenery of Halong Bay.

Hang Mua is the place where you can see the best view in Ninh Binh. After climbing about 500 steep steps to reach the top, you will be greeted by a breathtaking view of the Tam Coc River lined with small boats and the uniquely shaped rocks of Ninh Binh. It will be a physically demanding place to go to the top, but you can see the beautiful scenery accordingly.
