Overview
Located in Ninh Binh province 100 km southeast of Hanoi, Hoa Lu and Tam Coc are two of the most
picturesque spots in all of the north. For 41 years, from 968 to 1009 CE, Hoa Lu was the ancient capital of
Vietnam. Nearby Tam Coc is often referred to as “Ha Long among the rice paddies.” Visitors are conveyed
by rowboat along the peaceful Tam Coc stream past green fields and the feet of mountains into the mouths
of caves, where they encounter new surprises, like stalactites and stalagmites that shimmer like gemstones
just inches from the water.
