Giorno 2 — Hanoi
Breakfast, Depart early to explore one of the most beautiful natural sanctuaries in Vietnam and Asia in the calm of the early morning: Trang An Nature Park, which constitutes the central and largest part of the mountain complex known to the world as "the terrestrial Halong Bay". UNESCO has indeed included it among the world heritage sites. Mighty cliffs rise from the surrounding countryside, reaching heights of up to 200 meters. They are crossed by vast waterways that over the millennia have carved a dense network of caves of various sizes and lengths, allowing navigation throughout the entire area. The exploration of the place is done by rowing small boats that, thanks to their tiny dimensions, allow access even to the narrowest caves. At the end of the navigation, lunch will be served in a local restaurant and then return to Hanoi, estimated to arrive around 2:30 pm. The afternoon is dedicated to exploring Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam and a city with a millennial history. You will visit the "Temple of Literature", an ancient religious center and "university of worship". Then you will reach the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum, the father of modern and unified Vietnam (which can only be admired from the outside), and then the Presidential Palace (external visit). You will then transfer to the Old Quarter and its bustling, picturesque, and exotic market. The Old Quarter surrounds the Central Lake (Hoan Kiem Lake or "Lake of the Returned Sword") on three sides, with a small island in the center where the sacred Ngoc Son Temple stands. Visit the temple and free time to enjoy the bustling and picturesque life of the neighborhood. Return to the hotel at the end of the visits., dinner free PLEASE NOTE:

Giorno 3 — Hanoi → Halong Bay
Breakfast, early in the morning departure for, Halong Bay is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the most spectacular places in Vietnam. Almost 2000 islands, islets, cliffs, and rocks dot the bay, and just as many follow the coast up to the border with China. The legends surrounding the bay and the hyperboles used to describe it create very high expectations, which can be somewhat disappointed because this stretch of coast is also one of the most industrialized regions in Vietnam and the bay is cut in half by the route of merchant ships, not to mention the large number of tourist boats. The months from November to March are the coldest and rainiest. That being said, the scenery provided by the caves where stalactites and stalagmites create the most extraordinary settings, the water, and the shimmering of phosphorescent plankton is very suggestive., I board a traditional wooden junk boat, which navigates through a myriad of islands, islets, cliffs, and rocks, within which caves open up where stalactites and stalagmites create the most extraordinary scenery. Lunch and dinner on board are based on fish and seafood.
Giorno 4 — Halong Bay
