We drive 130 km ( 2 hours) from Hanoi to Hoalu district. In Hoalu we'll
visit 2 temples dedicated to 2 royal families of Vietnam in 10th
century. After that our car takes us through the magnificent
countryside of North Vietnam typical with green limestone mountains
jutting out of the green paddy fields to Tamcoc town for lunch. After
lunch, we get on bamboo boats for the cruise on the river through the
green rice paddy surrounded by ranges of green limestone mountains.
After 3 hours of the rowing boat trip, we drive 2 km to BichDong
pagodas, complex of pagodas built into limestone mountain cliffs from
15th century with unreal scenery around. After some walk to the top
pagoda, we drive back to Hanoi finishing the tour.
