Itinerary
Your journey begins with a pickup from your hotel in Hanoi, followed by a scenic drive to the sacred Yen Tu Complex. After around three hours, arrive at the foot of the mountain and ascend by cable car, gliding above lush forests to reach Hoa Yen Pagoda, the ancient stupa of King Tran Nhan Tong, and tranquil paths shaded by centuries-old pine trees, as well as the majestic statue of the Enlightened King.
For those seeking a deeper experience, continue trekking to the summit to visit the revered Dong Pagoda, where breathtaking panoramic views of mist-covered mountains create a truly spiritual atmosphere.
After descending, continue your journey to Ha Long City. Upon arrival, check in to your hotel and enjoy a relaxing evening at leisure, discovering the vibrant charm of Ha Long by night with dinner on your own.
Overnight in Ha Long City.
Leave the hotel after your breakfast. Upon arrival, embark on a delightful cruise that takes you deep into the heart of the bay, gliding across emerald waters surrounded by thousands of dramatic limestone cliffs and islets rising majestically from the sea.
During the cruise, visit one of Ha Long Bay’s most impressive grottoes, where enormous stalactites and stalagmites create a spectacular natural cathedral formed over millions of years. Take time to admire the intricate rock formations before returning to the boat to enjoy a freshly prepared lunch on board, featuring local flavors while soaking in panoramic views of the bay.
After the cruise, disembark at the dock and begin the return journey to Hanoi, concluding a memorable day filled with breathtaking scenery and natural wonders.

By Eleanor Grace(New Zealand)April 18, 2026 Majestic landscapeSome journeys feed the body. This one fed the soul. Two days unfolded like a quiet poem – first to Yen Tu, where mist hugged ancient pines and stone pagodas climbed toward the clouds. I walked the same path that Emperor-Monk Tran Nhan Tong once walked, leaving behind his throne for a life of stillness. The cable car lifted me above the noise of the world, and at the summit, surrounded by incense smoke and wind-chimed silence, I felt something I hadn't felt in years: peace. Then Ha Long Bay welcomed me as the sun began to bow. Emerald water, limestone dragons rising from the deep, and a wooden junk that swayed gently beneath a blanket of stars. I woke to fog drifting across the bay like a prayer. Morning tai chi on deck, my breath becoming one with the breeze. We kayaked through arches of stone into hidden lagoons where only the water spoke. This is not a tour for thrill-seekers or party lovers. It is for those who wish to stand still and let Vietnam whisper something ancient into their ear. Two days. A lifetime of remembering.Date of Experience: April 09, 2026 -
