Tucked away in the serene landscapes of Ninh Binh province, Hoa Lu stands as a poignant reminder of Vietnam’s early dynastic history.
As the country’s capital during the 10th and 11th centuries under the Dinh and Le dynasties, this ancient city was once the political and cultural heart of the nation.
Surrounded by majestic limestone mountains and lush rice paddies, Hoa Lu offers visitors a glimpse into Vietnam's regal past through its temples, relics, and breathtaking scenery.
It’s a good idea to stay in Trang An for a couple of days.
