    Awesome experience! The stair climb was a fun challenge, and the valley views were absolutely stunning. Trang An and Hoa Lu’s old town had a cool, Hoi An-like vibe.

    The scenery was majestic. The hike up stairs exhilarating, view of valley landscape beautiful. The grounds were also lovely with acres of l think lily ponds, green and colorful. Places to sit and enjoy. Wish we had more time. Lunch was good. The small boat ride through the caves and among the mountains was also great.

    My 20-year-old son and I did this day trip out of Hanoi. We saw spectacular countryside views from the river. Climbing to the mountain top was also full of amazing views. Please remember to tip the rowers - They work incredibly hard!
