Ninh Binh day tour from Hanoi (click on images to enlarge)

One day of our stay in Hanoi we took a tour to Ninh Binh That took all day, for USD 24 pp we went to visit Bich Bong Pagoda, Lunch (included) the our Boat trip Tam Coc followed by a bike ride.


Bích Động is a pagoda on nearby Ngu Nhac Mountain dating to 1428, comprising three structures: Hạ, Trung, and Thượng Pagodas, in ascending order. Guided tours generally cover historical points and end with a pleasant view from the top. Tam Cốc-Bích Động withPhát Diệm CathedralHoa Lư Ancient Capital, Bái Đính TempleTràng AnCúc Phương is the destination of Ninh Bình Province.

The Tam Cốc (“three caves”) portion is a three-hour excursion by small boat along the Ngô Đồng River, beginning at the village of Van Lam and proceeding through a scenic landscape dominated by rice fields and karst towers. The route includes floating through three natural caves (Hang Cả, Hang Hai, and Hang Ba), the largest of which is 125m long with its ceiling about 2m high above the water. The boats are typically rowed by one or two local women who also sell embroidered goods.
