The Thung Ui Tour Ninh Binh 1 Day All Inclusive from Hanoi offers a perfect balance of peaceful landscapes and rich history. Explore dramatic limestone valleys, visit Hoa Lu Ancient Capital, and enjoy a well-organised itinerary designed for comfort and depth. Ideal for travellers seeking a meaningful day trip with transparent pricing and professional guidance.
The Thung Ui Tour is thoughtfully designed for travellers who want a complete Ninh Binh experience within just one day. Departing from Hanoi in the morning, this all-inclusive journey combines peaceful landscapes, cultural heritage and smooth logistics into one well-paced itinerary.
By mid-morning, you arrive at Thung Ui, often described as one of the most scenic film locations in northern Vietnam. Towering limestone mountains, wide green valleys and calm open spaces create a tranquil setting ideal for photography and quiet exploration. The atmosphere is noticeably less crowded than many other tourist sites in Ninh Binh.
After a local lunch featuring regional specialities, the Thung Ui Tour continues to Hoa Lu Ancient Capital, the first imperial capital of Vietnam. Here, visitors gain historical context and architectural insight that enriches the natural beauty experienced earlier in the day. The walk through Hoa Lu Old Town adds a relaxed cultural finish to the programme.
