Full-Day Tour of Bai Dinh Pagoda and Trang An Landscape Complex

Your tour begins with hotel pickup in the Old Quarter of Hanoi in the morning for departure to Ninh Binh province. Upon arrival after about two hours of driving, start your tour by visiting Bai Dinh Pagoda.

The biggest pagoda in Vietnam, Bai Dinh is home to more than 500 La Han statues. You can also see the biggest bronze Buddha statue in the country, which measures 30 feet (10 meters) tall and weighs more than 100 tons.

Enjoy lunch at a local restaurant with traditional Vietnamese dishes such as goat meat with elderberry and pork sausage, and then head to the second part of your day trip, Trang An Landscape Complex. Take a boat ride to explore the scenic area, including Sang Cave, Toi Cave, Ba Giot Cave, and Nau Ruou; you'll have views of mountains and rivers for plenty of photo ops.

Then return to your tour vehicle for the drive back to Hanoi in the late afternoon, arriving at your hotel in the evening.
