Depending on the available time, the itinerary can focus on destinations near Phu Ly such as Tam Chuc, Sun World Ha Nam, Truc Temple - Ngu Dong Son, Dia Tang Phi Lai Tu, or extend toward Hoa Lu and Thung Nham on the following day.
Below are 8 destinations worth considering for the National Day holiday when guests stay at Tien Loc Palace.

1. Tam Chuc Tourist Area - A Highlight Near Phu Ly

Tam Chuc is one of the destinations guests should prioritize if they want to combine sightseeing, scenic appreciation and spiritual travel during the holiday.
The complex leaves an impression with its vast lake, limestone mountains and large-scale Buddhist architectural works. Guests can visit worship halls, the Sutra Pillar Garden, Ngoc Pagoda and spend time admiring the lake-and-mountain scenery.
Tam Chuc is suitable for many groups of visitors, from families and spiritual travelers to those who love natural landscapes. If departing from Phu Ly, guests can spend half a day or most of the first day exploring this area.
2. Soi Sunset Tam Chuc - Watching the Sunset Among Lakes and Mountains

For guests who want to extend the Tam Chuc journey into the afternoon, Soi Sunset offers another atmosphere with its lakeside space and surrounding mountain scenery.
This is a suitable place to watch the sunset, take photos, enjoy light meals or join outdoor activities depending on the time of visit. In particular, combining Tam Chuc in the morning with Soi Sunset in the late afternoon gives guests two different experiences in the same area without having to change routes too much.

3. Sun World Ha Nam - Cooling Off and Having Fun with the Family

For families with young children or groups of friends who want to add more lively activities to the holiday, Sun World Ha Nam is a worthwhile choice.
Located within Sun Urban City, the water park offers many water attractions for different age groups. The space also stands out with design elements inspired by water puppetry and Northern Vietnamese folk culture.
In early September, if the weather remains warm, this is a suitable place to spend a few hours having fun and cooling off. Families with young children should prioritize areas appropriate for their age and follow safety instructions at each attraction.

4. Truc Temple - Ngu Dong Son: Combining Culture and Scenery

Truc Temple - Ngu Dong Son offers a combination of relics, mountain scenery and natural caves, suitable for visitors who want to learn more about local culture.
Truc Temple is connected to historical and spiritual stories of the region, while Ngu Dong Son opens up a cave exploration journey among limestone mountains.
Guests can spend part of the day in this area or combine it with Tam Chuc if the timing is suitable.

5. Dia Tang Phi Lai Tu - Returning to a Peaceful Space

Dia Tang Phi Lai Tu, also known by many as Dung Pagoda, leaves an impression with its green grounds and tranquil atmosphere.
Guests can admire the architecture, enjoy the scenery and learn more about the local cultural and spiritual life. The space is suitable for families, middle-aged visitors or those who want to dedicate part of the holiday to a spiritual visit.

6. Long Doi Son Pagoda - Discovering Historical Traces of the Land

For visitors who love history and ancient architecture, Long Doi Son Pagoda is a worthwhile stop in the journey around Phu Ly.
The pagoda is located on Doi Mountain and is associated with many long-standing historical and cultural imprints. From the higher area, the surrounding landscape opens out to fields and residential areas below, offering another perspective on the Northern Delta.
Because the route up to the pagoda includes high steps in certain sections, guests should consider physical condition when traveling with elderly family members or young children.

7. Hoa Lu Ancient Town - An Evening Experience for the Journey

For guests with two days who want to extend the itinerary, Hoa Lu Ancient Town is suitable for the afternoon or evening of the second day.
This space combines architecture, lighting, cuisine and cultural activities, offering another leisure option after daytime sightseeing ends.
Depending on the schedule at each period, visitors can combine performances, walking around, enjoying local food and taking photos. If guests are interested in the live performance “The Reed Flag Hero - Dinh Bo Linh,” they should check the show schedule before arranging the itinerary.
Because Hoa Lu is farther from Phu Ly than the destinations listed above, it is best arranged as a separate route on the second day.

8. Thung Nham - Spending a Day in Nature

Thung Nham is a suitable choice for visitors who want to spend time amid Ninh Binh’s ecological scenery.
The area features lakes, caves, gardens and a bird park. One of the experiences many visitors look forward to is the moment birds return to their nests at the end of the day, creating a distinctive scene among the limestone mountains.
Depending on the operating schedule, guests can also learn about experience programs and performances taking place at the tourist area.
Because the distance from Phu Ly is farther than places such as Tam Chuc or Truc Temple - Ngu Dong Son, Thung Nham is more suitable for spending most of the second day.

Suggested 2-Day-1-Night Itinerary for the September 2 National Day Holiday

On the first day, guests can check in at Tien Loc Palace, then visit Tam Chuc and combine the trip with Soi Sunset in the late afternoon. In the evening, return to central Phu Ly for dinner and rest.
On the second day, families with young children can choose Sun World Ha Nam. If guests prefer cultural and spiritual experiences, they can visit Truc Temple - Ngu Dong Son, Dia Tang Phi Lai Tu or Long Doi Son Pagoda.
For visitors who want to explore Ninh Binh more deeply, the second day can be reserved for Thung Nham or the Hoa Lu area. Dividing the itinerary by route will help reduce travel time between destinations that are far apart.

Notes When Traveling to Ninh Binh During the National Day Holiday

During the September 2 holiday, the number of visitors and vehicles often increases, so guests should book accommodation in advance, check opening hours, ticket prices, show schedules and operating information for each destination before departure.
When visiting spiritual sites, guests should choose polite clothing. For the water park, suitable swimwear and a change of clothes are necessary. Destinations with many steps or natural terrain, such as Long Doi Son Pagoda and Ngu Dong Son, require consideration of the physical condition of young children and elderly guests.
In addition, guests should allow extra travel time during the holiday and prioritize destinations located on the same route instead of trying to visit too many places.

Tien Loc Palace - A Convenient Stay for the National Day Journey

Located on National Highway 1A in central Phu Ly Ward, Tien Loc Palace is suitable as an accommodation choice for exploring nearby destinations during the National Day holiday.
From the hotel, guests can arrange routes to Tam Chuc, Sun World Ha Nam, Truc Temple - Ngu Dong Son, Dia Tang Phi Lai Tu, Long Doi Son Pagoda, or continue toward Hoa Lu and Thung Nham on the following day.
After a day of sightseeing, guests can return to their room, dine at Hoang Gia Restaurant or spend time at Enjoy Coffee.
