Hoa Lu is an ancient royal city that was important for Vietnamese history in the 10th and 11th centuries. Today, however, little of it remains; Hoa Lu is more of a well-maintained park-like complex with a few gates and temples. Nice, but not a must-see.

The Hoa Lu site is nice to visit, but quite simple. A short visit suffices, it's mainly interesting due to its historical significance. The main attraction are some old temples and beautiful gates.
