One-day tour in Ninh Binh, Vietnam

One-day tour in Ninh Binh, Vietnam Route: Bai Dinh Temple - Chang'an Cruise - Wolong Mountain MUA CAVE Price: around RMB 270💰 I signed up for a one-day trip to Ninh Binh through a travel agency in Hanoi. There are three scenic spots along the way, each with its own characteristics, making the trip worthwhile. The Vietnamese tour guide was very dedicated. As soon as we set off, he began to introduce today's itinerary in detail, as well as the attractions we would visit and their features. The first stop is Bai Dinh Temple, which is a large temple. After entering, you have to walk through a long corridor. On one side of the corridor are many disciples of Sakyamuni, which look lifelike. Some of them have been rubbed with patina by believers who come to pray for blessings. There are the Three Buddha Hall, Guanyin Hall and the Main Hall in the temple. The Buddha statues are solemn, sacred, majestic and exquisite. Walking in the temple, I felt very peaceful inside, with a sense of tranquility and openness like being out of this world. I asked the tour guide about the proportion of Buddhists in Vietnam, and it was only 5%, which is even lower than the 6% of Catholics. The tour guide explained that the reason is that young people today do not want to be bound by etiquette and want to live a free-spirited lifestyle. The second stop is the Changan cruise ship TRANG AN. The cruise ships were neatly lined up at the dock. After we took our seats one by one, the boat girl started rowing. Rowing on the lake, the green mountains on both sides keep passing by, and the breeze blows on your face, it is very comfortable. The boat will also pass through caves, and there are several places where you need to lower your head to avoid the rocks above your head. It is a very interesting experience. The third stop is Wolong Mountain MUA CAVE. There is a lotus pond at the foot of the mountain. It's a pity that it is not the flowering season, otherwise this lotus pond would be so beautiful with the mountain and the water beside. As you climb the stairs, the view becomes wider and wider. You can see pagodas standing on other hilltops, more and more rice fields and villages in the distance, and mountains surrounded by rivers. The fatigue from climbing was completely healed by the beautiful scenery.
