Here, you'll walk among the historic temples dedicated to King Dinh and King Le, gaining insights into Vietnam’s early dynastic history.
After a delicious Vietnamese lunch, continue to Tam Coc for an unforgettable sampan boat trip. Glide along the Ngo Dong River, passing through spectacular limestone karsts and lush green rice paddies. The tranquil atmosphere and dramatic scenery make this a highlight of your journey.
Next, visit the peaceful Bich Dong Pagoda, a beautiful three-tiered pagoda built into a limestone mountain. Climb the stone steps for picturesque views and experience the serene spiritual atmosphere.
