Hoa Lu was the ancient capital city of Vietnam from 968 to 1010. Here, kings under Dinh and Le dynasties built a citadel surrounded by karst-mountains. After a long period being suffered from the destruction of wars and weather, what remain now are the two sacred temples of our kings and a part of the old palace.
Hang Mua (Mua Cave) can also serve as an alternative for Trang An Grottoes Boat Ride. Mua Cave and Hoa Lu Temples fit the half-day.
Mua Cave offers unique views of Tam Coc Rivers from above. This “mini Grand Canyon” is the best place to get high in Ninh Binh. Views change every meter make the hike more interesting.
