07:30 The car and tour guide pick you up at your hotel and depart for Ninh Binh.
10:00 Arrive in Ninh Binh, visit one of the following attractions (CHOOSE 1 OF 2):
- Hoa Lu Ancient Capital (Vietnam's capital in the 10th century), visit the temples of King Dinh and King Le. Explore the excavation site next to Le Dai Hanh Temple, and admire the scenery in the beautiful Truong Yen valley to enjoy the wonderful landscapes featured in the Hoa Lu – Tam Coc Tour that you cannot miss.
- Tuyet Tinh Coc – Considered an earthly paradise by the ancients, it has now become a green oasis isolated from the outside world featured in the Tuyet Tinh Coc Tour; you are free to climb 205 stone steps to reach Am Tien Cave and Am Tien Pagoda midway up the mountain. The cave is shaped like a dragon's mouth, so it is also known as the dragon cave. Inside the cave are many stalactites shaped like rice stalks, money trees, Buddha's hand fruits, and lotus buds drooping with water drops. Am Tien Pagoda is where Queen Mother Duong Van Nga became a Buddhist nun and spent the final days of her life; looking down from Am Tien Pagoda, you will see a clear blue lake with visible moss—locally known as Ao Giai—surrounded by rocky cliffs, creating a paradise-like landscape.
