Hoa Lu Ancient Capital was the capital of Vietnam in the tenth and eleventh century. The citadel and imperial city are now largely destroyed. The main attractions in the complex are the temples in honor of the two imperial dynasties.
Hoa Lu was the capital of an independent empire among the rulers of the Dinh Dynasty (968–980) and early Le Dynasty (980–1009), before Emperor Ly Thai moved the capital to Thang Long, present-day Hanoi in 1010. The city was strategically located: surrounded by water and the erratic limestone rocks that gave the area the nickname “Halong Bay on land”.

We appreciated the punctuality of our shuttle service as we made our way to the Riu Playa Blanca Hotel, which allowed us to jump straight into our meetings without worry. While the ride was generally comfortable, the air conditioning could have been a tad cooler, especially given the humid weather.

The shuttle service to my hotel near Playa Blanca was smooth and offered a reassuring sense of safety throughout the journey. While the ride was comfortable, a bit more legroom would have made it even better for my solo adventure in Panama City.
