Hoa Lu was the capital city of Vietnam under the Dinh Dynasty
between 968 and 980 AD and ancient sanctuaries and tombs can still
be seen today. Apart from the historical importance, the area is
naturally beautiful, referred to many as the 'dry Halong Bay', with
limestone peaks and fertile green valleys.
The tour includes being rowed along the Boi River, which makes for a
truly unforgettable experience, passing between towering limestone
peaks. We leave Hanoi and head south for a 2-hour drive. We spend
one hour visiting the Dinh and Le sanctuaries and then move on to Tam
Coc for a boat trip along the Boi River. Along the way we visit caves and
ancient temples.
