Tours, sightseeing tours, activities & things to do | Viator.comHoa Lu: Ancient Capital of Vietnam Private Day Tour from Hanoi
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.
