Now we are headed to Hoa Lu, the ancient capital of Vietnam 968-80 & 980-1009..		They are putting in big roads but until they are finished you can enjoy the countryside.		I am on the back of motorbike enjoying the countryside without any tour buses or tourists.
	It was my most favorite part of the trip.		Steps leading to the temple on the hill.		The first remaining temple, Dinh Tien Hoang.
	Restored in the 17th century.		And is dedicated to the Dinh dynasty.		Statue of Emperor Dinh Tien Hoang.
	People pray, leave offerings of money and  light incense.		Outside the temple.		Leaving this temple to go to the next one.
	Again, I like these rock formations.		This temple has a statue of the Queen.		The ancient citadel of Hoa Lu was destroyed. All that remains are these two temples.
