    Program description

    To start your 10-day beach extension in Vietnam, you will arrive in Hanoi, the ancient capital steeped in a thousand years of history. An English-speaking guide from Kampá Tour will welcome you with joviality at the airport. They will assist you with your transfer to a centrally located hotel, and your day's itinerary will be adjusted according to your arrival time. Begin your exploration of this historic city by visiting its key landmarks:

    • King Ly Thai To Square: Plunge into the thousand-year history of the Vietnamese capital at this iconic square.

    The first ruler of the Ly dynasty (1009–1225) of Vietnam, chose the site of Hanoi—then called Thang Long (“Soaring Dragon”)—for his capital.

    • Lake of the Restored Sword: Discover the enchanting Lake of the Restored Sword, home to the Temple of Mount Jade and the Turtle Islet nestled in the heart of Hanoi.
    • Hanoi Old Quarter: Take a leisurely stroll among the Hanoi Old Quarter, prominent for its 36 corporation streets. Let’s meander through streets dedicated to various crafts, each named after the goods produced and sold there. And don't miss Ma May Street, where you can explore an old 'Tube' house, a characteristic example of traditional Hanoi architecture.

    Afterward, enjoy some free time for relaxation.

    Your overnight stay awaits at the hotel.

    Set out on a tour around Hanoi. We will trace its cultural and historical monuments as we drive along the tree-line avenues:

    • Imperial Citadel of Thang Long, the first political stronghold of the millennial capital. 
    • The Temple of Literature – the first university of Vietnam under the Ly and Tran dynasties. This ancient site offers a chance to take photos of turtle steles, pavilions, courtyards, and passageways that were once used by royalty. 
    • Ba Dinh Square, the complex of the former Indochina Governor Palace, nestled close to Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum and his stilt house. 
    • The Vietnam Museum of Ethnology, which houses a diverse collection of 25,000 ancient and contemporary ethnic objects from all corners of Vietnam. 

    After touring, we will enjoy the water puppet show which is recognized as a UNESCO Intangible Heritage.
    As the night falls, it is your own time to stroll around the Old Square to witness the nocturnal life of Hanoians. Please feel free to taste some street food, take a sip of local beers or cocktails at the bars, and then indulge in the vivid colors of Hanoi at night.  
    Overnight at the hotel in Hanoi.

    Depart for Ninh Binh, known as the land of limestone karsts, stunning karst formations, and rice fields flooded by rivers and lakes throughout the year.

    • Afterward, arriving in Ninh Xuan, visit Mua Mountain. Climb a 486-step white stone staircase to the summit of this bell-shaped mountain, offering a panoramic view of the Tam Coc region.

Located at the foot of Mua Mountain with the shape of a large bell face upside down, it's about 800m2 wide. This tourist site belongs to Khe Dau Ha village, Ninh Xuan commune, Hoa Lu district, Ninh Binh province.
