Located about 90 kilometres from Hanoi, the Tam Coc - Bich Dong Tourist Area is part of the Trang An Tourism Complex and one of Vietnam's most spectacular tourist destinations. Nicknamed Ha Long Bay on land, it annually attracts hundreds of thousands of local and international tourists.
Ngo Dong River is the highlight of the tourist area, where visitors are rowed through a gentle stream through gorgeous limestone mountains while admiring the ripening rice fields on both sides.
