Tam Coc, often referred to as "Ha Long Bay on land," where you'll be captivated by the stunning views of paddy fields, rivers, caves, and the serene sky.
Afterward, head to
Mua Cave (Dragon Peak), where you'll climb nearly 500 steps to the top of Lying Dragon Mountain, offering a panoramic view of Tam Coc and the nearby lotus fields, especially beautiful in the summer. Finally, return to Hanoi, where you'll be dropped off at your hotel, marking the end of your tour.
