Day 1: Full description
Begin your day with a pickup from your hotel in Hanoi and head to Ninh Binh Province. Stop for a short break along the way to stretch your legs and relax.
Arrive at Bai Dinh Pagoda, the largest pagoda in Southeast Asia. Admire the 500 stone Arhat statues, a 36-ton bronze bell, and a 100-ton Buddha statue.
Next, leave the wetlands behind and venture deeper into the green hills. Hidden among the trees, Suoi Gio quietly awaits, inviting you to discover a different side of Ninh Binh.
Enjoy a traditional Vietnamese lunch featuring local specialties at a nearby restaurant. After lunch, enjoy free time to go swimming and kayaking on the stream, take a short trek along the water, or find a quiet alcove to listen to the symphony of birds.
Paddle through caves, foliage, and limestone mountains. Finally, return to your hotel in Hanoi, carrying with you the slower rhythm of the countryside and a rare sense of tranquility.
