Tam Coc – Bich Dong is often referred to as the “Ha Long Bay on land.” Its breathtaking scenery of limestone karsts rising dramatically from emerald rice fields creates a landscape so magical that it has earned the poetic nickname “Dragon Descent.” The name reflects the belief that the area’s majestic beauty resembles a dragon gracefully descending from the sky, much like the legendary origins associated with Ha Long Bay.

Hoa Lu is the ancient capital of Vietnam in the 10th and 11th centuries. This historic site played a crucial role in the early formation of the Vietnamese nation. Today, visitors can explore the remains of royal temples dedicated to emperors such as Dinh Tien Hoang and Le Dai Hanh, gaining insight into the country’s rich cultural and political heritage.

Our guide and driver will pick you up from your hotel at 8:00 AM and transfer you to a rural village near Phu Ly for a morning bicycle ride to Trang An Heritage Site.

Upon arrival, we will cycle through fertile vegetable fields, follow quiet village pathways, and ride along a peaceful river, passing ancient temples and pagodas while enjoying the tranquil countryside scenery. After cycling more than 11 km along the river, we will continue through lush rice paddies, ride alongside a network of canals, cross the Day River, and proceed toward Trang An.

Upon arrival, enjoy a lunch break and take time to savor a traditional Vietnamese coffee (Ca Phe Sua Da).

In the afternoon, we will board a traditional rowed sampan to explore the Trang An Landscape Complex, a spectacular area of limestone karst peaks interwoven with valleys, many of which are partially submerged and surrounded by steep, near-vertical cliffs. After a two-hour boat journey through Trang An, we will transfer to your hotel by support vehicle.

Today we start the trip at 8:30 am, giving you more time to relax. After a refreshing breakfast, we’ll continue our exhilarating cycling adventure with a scenic 30-kilometer ride from Tam Coc through Kenh Ga to Gia Lam. Along the way, we’ll explore the highlights of the Tam Coc, Bich Dong, and Trang An regions, renowned for their spectacular natural beauty.

These picturesque routes offer breathtaking views of endless emerald rice paddies stretching beneath majestic limestone karsts, while peaceful rural villages nestle among the mountains and winding country lanes. As we cycle through this stunning landscape, you’ll have the opportunity to experience the authentic rhythms of local life—from water buffalo grazing and working in the fields to farmers tending their crops and children cheerfully cycling to school.

Upon reaching Kenh Ga, we’ll cross the Boi River and continue through lush farmlands to Road 479, where our shuttle will be waiting to transfer us back to Ha Noi. Lunch will be served en route.
