HOA LUU - TAM COC TOUR
Hoa lu and Tam Coc are two most beautiful sceneries of Ninh Binh province, just
100 km southeast of Ha Noi. Hoa Lu is the Ancient Royal capital under Dinh
dynasty and pre-Le dynasty which was lasted 41 years (968-1009).In comparison
with Hoa Lu, Tam Coc is considered as Ha Long Bay on land because of its beauty
and charm. Sitting on boat en-route Tam Coc, one is enclosed by the scenic beauty of
huge rocks standing along river and scattered green rice fields, all combining to form a
poetic painting of the countryside. Additionally, one thing that make this tour the most
exiting is the boat trip through winding stream to visit Tam Coc (three grottoes) -
