On the same spring tour at the beginning of the year, guests have the opportunity to explore two of the most famous landmarks in the northern region of Vietnam, located in Quang Ninh Province: the UNESCO World Heritage Site Halong Bay and the Yen Tu Scenic Area. If Halong Bay is compared to a scene from a fairy tale, frozen in stone with many shapes that make one think of traditional Vietnamese folklore figures, what makes it even more special are the stunning caves hidden within the limestone island system, such as: Thien Cung Cave, Dau Go Cave, Sung Sot Cave, and Tam Cung Cave... These spectacular caves have made Halong Bay stand out even more, becoming a world natural heritage and a wonder voted for by travelers worldwide. In addition, during this spring trip, visitors will also have the chance to experience the challenges of the journey to find peace and tranquility for the soul when visiting Yen Tu, one of the most famous ancient temples in Vietnam, where millions of pilgrims come every year to visit and pray for peace.
