Hanoi – Bai Dinh – Trang An – Hoa Lu Ancient Capital – 2 Day

Itinerary

Bai Dinh is renowned for its monumental achievements, including three Buddha statues representing the past, present, and future, each weighing 50 tons in Tam The Temple. Other notable works include a 100-ton Buddha statue in Phap Chu Temple and two bells weighing 36 tons and 27 tons. Situated just five kilometers away from the popular tourist destinations of Co Do Hoa Lu, the ancient capital of Vietnam from 968 to 1010, and the Trang An cave area, Bai Dinh has the potential to become the focal point of tourism in Ninh Binh Province upon its completion. Trang An, an eco-tourism attraction situated in the east of Ninh Binh, spans an area of 2000 hectares. The caves within the Trang An eco-tourism area, located in Truong Yen Commune, Xuan Ninh, Ninh Hai, Gia Sinh Commune, Ninh Nhat, Tan Thanh, covering an area of over 1500 hectares, were discovered several years ago. In 2001, the cave system was explored by a collaborative effort involving research scientists and local residents.
