Ninh Binh Province Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)

Tam Coc 0 km cafe — a very stylish local spot

A very cozy local cafe with a nice fusion of Vietnamese and international dishes in the menu. I chose local fried fish, and I didn't regret it. The interior design is very well thought, there are so many interesting small details. The plates and cups are also very interesting, some kind of rustic style. There is also a good choice of drinks in the menu, I specifically enjoyed Margarita Nhà hàng Tam Cốc 0km - it's name on the map. #tamcoc #vietnamesefood

Trang An memorable boat trip

A memorable boat trip - slowly mandearing in between limestone hill. The place was so green that even the water is emerald green (maybe from the seaweed grew underneath) Visited underground caves and ancient temples. Buy ticket at the complex across the waterways and walk underground to the docking boats. 3 trail routes to choose from and best time to visit - early morning or late afternoon when it is not too hot as the whole trip takes 2.5 to 3 hour.

Trang An Boat Trip - a MUST SEE attraction in Ninh

The boat Pier is about 20 min driving from Tam Coc center. You can choose between 3 different routes with different attractions they stop at. We really enjoyed the scenery with limestone karst rocks, caves (the longest one was 350m) and magnificent temples on the islands. This attraction is recognized by UNESCO as The Word Haritage site. The price is 250k per person, but they are asking for tips at the end. To avoid long lines better come on the weekdays. #trangan #vietnam #ninhbinh

Exploring Mua Caves in Ninh Binh

While everyone was rushing to get to the top of the mountain, @nvang3 and I slowly took our time to find the best photo spots. We got very lucky and found an amazing lotus pond with a walkway that eas totally empty. We got to enjoy the entire place by ourselves. While visiting Mua Caves, the cave had been filled with water from the recent downpours of the rainy season. Since it was closed, we weren't able to visit in October. However, all is not a loss. We were able to enjoy many different things. You can walk alongside a walkway that hugs a huge field of lotus. While everyone was climbing up to see the view, we took advantage and had the entire garden to ourselves. Next, we journeyed up the stairs to follow our fellow travelers and was blessed with beautiful views of the valleys. You can see people canoeing on the river. There were people who hiked to the top and took photos with a dragon statue at the top. #tour #tours #ninhbinh #tourninhbinh #vietnam #travel #travelphotographer #travelphotos #seasia #lotus #lotuspond #muacave #tripblazers #fallingforfall

Amazing place in ninh Binh which is a must go for everybody. however advice to not go during the summer as it was really really really hot. 39 degrees but feels like 50 degrees.

Stunning view of Ninh Binh

Hiking to the highest peak at Mua Cave (also known as Hang Mua) is one of the best things to do in Ninh Binh! The cave itself is not that spectacular but it’s the incredible 360-degree views from the Hang Mua viewpoint that make this a very popular place to visit. Mua Cave is located 5km north of Tam Coc village center in the Ninh Binh region. Getting around Tam Coc is really simple as you can do so on foot, on a bicycle, or rent a scooter from your choice of half a dozen rental shops in the center of town.

Mua Caves Ecolodge (Hang Mua)

Name of Destination: Mua Caves Ecolodge (Hang Mua) Location: Ninh Binh, Viet Nam Even though I knew climbing Hang Mua was very tiring, I was still determined to climb again, I don't know why. Maybe because of the beauty of Ninh Binh. Following the name, people think it's a cave, but it's not, it's simply a scenic spot and you have to climb stairs to get to places with such beautiful views. Climbing Mua Cave really means holding up your phone to get a beautiful picture Hang Mua has just opened a lotus pond, no need to climb but still has beautiful pictures . Another new point is that there is a landing, it looks like a cafe but actually doesn't sell anything

Address - hang Mua ecolodge Ambiance/Facilities - very lovely place to enjoy Highlights - lotus flower blooming Avg. Price per Person - 25 sgd for two persons Rating - 9
