Highlights of The North Vietnam

 Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam, is known for its centuries-old architecture and rich Southeast Asian, Chinese and French influenced culture.  

At its heart is the chaotic Old Quarter, where the narrow streets are roughly arranged by trade, also known as the 36 Streets, a collection of small scale artisan villages evolved into craft guilds, and the streets were named after the products they made. Besides, there are many famous temples and pagodas to visit, including The Temple of Literature, the first national university of Vietnam, constructed 1,000 years ago in the 11th century. There is also the Đồng Xuân Market, where tourists can buy street food or household goods. Visitors seeking a thrill can visit the “train street,” and feel the rush of a train blazing past their coffee shop as they enjoy the delicious local specialty, egg coffee. 

 Ninh Binh was the capital of the Vietnamese people from the 9th to the 11th century, through 3 dynasties: Dinh, Tien Le, and Ly. The Hoa Lu Ancient Capital of Vietnam was built over 1000 years ago by the Dinh Dynasty. 

Ninh Binh encompasses two areas: a world heritage site (Trang An Scenic Landscape Complex, which has been recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2014.) and a world biosphere reserve (Con Noi - Floating Island). Ninh Binh is identified as a popular tourist area with rich and diverse potential. Additionally, climbing up to the top of Mua Cave to see the breathtaking views.
