－ What You Can Expect －

Hoa Lu is the legendary ancient capital of Viet Nam. The old capital was built more than 10 centuries ago under the reign of the Dinh Dynasty and Le Dynasty. It was its capital for just 41 years (968-1009). The capital then was moved to Thang Long under the Ly Dynasty (1010). With the size of 3000ha, Hoa Lu is protected by a natural wall with surrounding Trang An limestone mountains and Hoang Long river. The combination of mountains and rivers makes Hoa Lu's surroundings very picturesque. Hoa Lu is famous for the number of palaces, pagodas, tombs, and pavilions that were built by different dynasties. Bao Thien Tue Palace that was plated with gold and silver is very popular with its architecture. There were also two famous temples that were built in the 11th century to dedicate King Dinh Tien Hoang and his successor Le Dai Hanh.

Tuyet Tinh Coc originated from Am Tien Cave, located in Hoa Lu Ancient Citadel Complex, where King Dinh Tien Hoang used to keep tigers, build a school, and it is also a temple where queen Duong Van Nga had got her religious life at the end of her life. Having a spectacular landscape, Am Tien cave is the destination for many northern Vietnamese travel hunters in recent years.

Trang An, honored as “Halong Bay on land”, is becoming a favorite attraction appealing to tourists from all over the world. Recently, Vietnam proposed UNESCO for recognizing Trang An ecological complex in Ninh Binh Province as a world heritage site. Trang An is a complex of scenic landscapes and historical and cultural heritages. The complex has an area of over 10,000 hectares. It consists of Hoa Lu Ancient Capital, Tam Coc and Bich Dong natural site, and Trang An ecological site. Trang An ecological tourist attraction stretches on an area of 4,000 ha with spectacular limestone areas and rice fields. The site dates back some 250 million years and has hundreds of valleys and caves. Trang An Relics is one of the most spectacular Vietnam wonders. Dr. Tran Tan Van, Director of Vietnam Institute of Geosciences and Mineral Resources analyzed that it is limestone blocks that make Trang An unique, and clarifies the tropical karst landscapes in the region. These relics were formed because of the interaction of major geological structures on earth.
