About Lulong Bay in North Vietnam

Hua Lo Ancient Capital



Hoa Lu Ancient Capital is the oldest city in the Lulong Bay area and is also the capital of Vietnam's first independent dynasty. The architectural style of Hoa Lu Ancient Capital can be seen from the ancient architectural style of Hanoi. The palaces of the ancient capital have long since disappeared, replaced by temples built on the ruins to worship the former emperors of the Dinh and Le dynasties. If you have the opportunity to encounter a sacrificial ceremony, you may be able to experience a little of the prosperity of the ancient capital.

Trang An Scenic Spots



The Chang'an Scenic Spots Group can be said to be the highlight of the must-see attractions in Lulong Bay!

Not only the limestone landscape is there to appreciate, but the wetland ecology also makes it unique. When you come to Chang'an, you can't miss the boat Trip.

Overlooking the Tam Coc scenery and the magnificent stone dragon statue.

Tam Coc



Tam Coc is a small town next to Ninh Binh City and the location of Wo Long Mountain. Different from Halong Bay, the cruise scenery in Tam Coc is like wandering between the human world and the fairyland. The best way to experience Tam Coc is to take a bamboo raft, leisurely watching the strange peaks and rocks around, and shuttling among the strange rocks.



In addition, you can not only enjoy the boat trip when you come to Tam Coc, but riding a bicycle is also another hidden recommended option. The editor recommends that if you visit Tam Coc in summer, you can enjoy the green fields, herds of buffaloes and the strange peaks and rocks. You can even go bird watching in the park! The leisure time will definitely be unforgettable for you.

Bai Dinh Pagoda



Bai Dinh Pagoda, also known as Bai Dinh Temple, covers an area of ​​more than 1,000 hectares. It is not only one of the oldest temples in Vietnam, but also the largest temple in Vietnam and a world cultural heritage site. There are more than 500 Arhat statues in Bai Dinh Pagoda, as well as the largest "bronze Buddha statue" in Vietnam. There is also a towering pagoda in the entire park, which is also the main Tourist attraction of Bai Dinh Temple. After arriving at the pagoda, you can take the elevator to the observation deck on the 13th floor to overlook the entire Bai Dinh Temple complex; there is also a stupa on the same floor, which makes people feel both solemn and magnificent at the same time.

Not only is the newly built Bai Dinh Temple worth visiting, but the ancient site of Bai Dinh Temple on the top of the mountain is also worth exploring! There are two Buddhist temples built in the caves, one with a bright section and one with a dark section. The bright one is dedicated to Buddha, while the dark one is dedicated to Guanyin. Although located in the dark cave, the solemnity of the temple is not diminished at all.



The above are the five must-see attractions in Lu Long Bay introduced today. Although the driving distance from Hanoi to Lu Long Bay is shorter than that of Halong Bay, it is not as well-known as Halong Bay, so the information about Lu Long Bay day trips is still relatively unknown on the Internet. There are few places in Vietnam, which is why it is difficult to travel independently.
