Day trips and excursions - Northern
Hanoi
– a mixture of discreet
charm and excitement
To
visit and travel HANOI with the short tours is to steep yourself in history, tradition, and legend
in a capital that has been inhabited continuously for almost a millenium. Visitors often note that the city is quieter, greener,
and "cooler" than other big cities of Vietnam. Indeed,
Hanoi itself, and the Northern Vietnam, have quite clear four
seasons, and October to March are lovely pretty cool months whilst
other towns southward just have dry and rainy times. It probably
influences in the mentality of the inhabitants and the city seems
attract more intellectuals and artists, while Saigon is great for
entrepreneurs and hustlers.
Hanoi
street life now is fascinating. In the early morning, you can see
people both young and old practicing "tai chi quan" or
martial arts in the parks and joggers along pretty lakes. Outdoor
barbers with mirrors simply hung on the street walls and women
selling great French baguettes and flowers are also at every street
corner.

"Chua
Huong" (the Perfume Pagoda).
Best combination of boat trip, sightseeing, mountain climbing
and religious pilgrimage
"Chua Huong" - the Perfume Pagoda is the name of a collection of
Buddhist temples which are very sacred to Vietnamese people of Buddhist
faith, and an annual visit up here in springtime is a must to a
lot of believers.
Located
on the limestone rocks of Huong Son Mountain in beautiful and
mystical surroundings, the pagodas are 70 km or two-hour driving
out of Hanoi. Unlike other temples in Vietnam, the only way to
reach this sanctuary is floating along a narrow but extremely
poetic stream by rowing boats that takes 45 minutes. An iron
boat can carry 3-5 people and a large wooden boat – up to 20
locals.
The
stream is edged by rice, grass, small paths, and temples here
and there.
The main festive days of Chua Huong stretches from January to
early April, busy and exciting. Sometimes it's drizzling and the
Vietnamese all believe that the real good things will reach you
if you catch rainwater after praying in a sacred pagoda. And
among all the sacred temples and pagodas in Northern Vietnam,
Chua Huong is even more attractive and mysterious not only for
its spectacular scenery, but for the painstaking road you passed
over to reach to the top.

Hoa Lu - Tam
Coc – Bich Dong
most remarkable sights of Ninh Binh Province
A trip to Hoa Lu should be started from
Tam Coc ("three caves"), which takes more than two hours
driving from Hanoi, and take a boat rowed by one or two local persons
in Hoang Long river and see the first limestone mountains, through three caves on the
river, all created by wind and water from a legend time, while
the sea had occupied this area. The river trip is wonderful for photo hunters,
especially when local people come to harvest the water rice
planted along the river, or when they transplant some seedling
for the next crops. The tourists often compare the place with
Guilin – China, or more closely, to the limestone islets of
Halong Bay in the Tonkin Gulf for their similar geological
structures and shapes. Thus Tam Coc is also called Halong-Bay-On-Land.
On the
way back from Tam Coc – Bich Dong to Hanoi you can pay a visit
to the last relics of the ancient capital Hoa Lu – the
Temples dedicated to King Dinh and King Le, the
two heroes who lived in 10th century and chose Hoa Lu
to build the citadel of the capital city. From time to time,
archaeologists have excavated buried parts of this citadel with
rusty weapons and ceramics. The temples are said to be built on
the old foundation of their original palaces in 11-12th
centuries and restored in 17th century.

Halong
Bay – 2,000 islands in
1,500 square km, the World Heritage
In
1991 a scene of the French movie

was
taken on the Bay. The film was about the life of a French
woman who lived in Vietnam during the French domination in Indochina
from mid-19th to mid-20th century, the leading
role was by Catherine Deneuve, and all the French-speaking tourist
were amazed discovering a spectacular seascape they've never known
before.

With
the distance of 170km East of Hanoi took 3-hour driving,
Halong, a World
Heritage recognized by UNESCO, attracts around 90% of visitors
coming to Vietnam
It's
a Bay that 1,500 square km wide belonging to the Tonkin Gulf of the
South China Sea. Though it belongs to the ocean, its wave is calm
and unusually emerald. And it has nearly
2,000
islands
and islets, all are limestone and dolomite, with numerous grottoes,
stretches on that 1,500 square km.
The
tourist who have visited Guilin (China) and Phuket (Thailand) often
make a comparison for their similar shape and geographical
structure, just to note afterward that Halong is much huger and more
diversified.
