Mountains and Caves Galore in Ninh Binh 🇻🇳
Ninh Binh is serene and not to be missed when in Vietnam. Definitely go here to get your dose of nature and if you’re fascinated by caves.
Just a few hours drive from Hanoi centre, make sure you book a comfortable car to commute.Stay here for 2 nights to explore the little town. I was short on time so I booked a day tour for peace of mind. Though it took all day, a day tour was more than enough as I’d see more mountains and caves in Halong Bay.
My favourite was the Trang An boat road. Gave me an hour to appreciate the beautiful views, reflect and felt a sense of peace.
There are restaurants that serve good food around the area for lunch. Most do buffet style with various Asian cuisine.
Don’t skip Ninh Binh! North Vietnam is absolutely gorgeous and the highlight of the country.

The Beautiful Bai Dinh Pagoda 🇻🇳
This time i want to share about Bai Dinh Temple or Bai Dinh Pagoda in Ninh Binh City, Vietnam. This place is one of the most famous & visited temple in Ninh Binh City, attracting many Buddhists and visitors to come here.
This pagoda is renowned as one of the biggest temples in Southeast Asia right now. Bai Dinh Pagoda's name means meaning towards Mount Dinh, the place where heroic events took place in Vietnamese history.

To visit this temple, you neet to use electric car first to reach the entrance gate of the temple. The temple area is also so big, you need at least 4 hours to visit them all.

Bird Park in Tam Coc - many butterflies but no birds
The park itself is big and nice, there are boat tours available.
Apparently, we have not seen any birds there, but we enjoyed walking in this park, and there were so many butterflies.
One more highlight is the mermaid cave, but be careful as the ceiling is very low. You have to go in a kneeling position there. It's nice and cool inside.
Also there are many scenic photo spots.

Ninh Binh is insanely good!
Ninh Binh is located around 90 km. away from Hanoi. I visited Hanoi for 5 days and was wondering if there is a beautiful natural place to go. I came up with Nih Binh since it is known as 'the inland cousin of Ha Long Bay' and it was a filming location of Kong: Skull Island (2017). I took a van directly from Hanoi which takes 1.5 hours and stayed there for one night. I took a boat cave tour at Tràng An to see hidden temples and lots of beautiful scenery. Also, in the morning, I went to Mua Cave for hiking. Although it was tiring with steps, the view from the top is great.

Ninh Binh, VN - Sunsets, Boats and Mountains
Getting There
Ninh Binh is located in North Vietnam, around 3 hours from Hanoi. There is no airport, so to get here you’ll need to take a bus or a train from wherever you are currently at in Vietnam. For example, we got a bus from Hanoi to Ninh Binh for £7 each, but buses and trains also go from other places such as Hue.
Attractions
Ninh Binh is a beautiful place to visit, the landscape is covered with mountains and trees.
1) Go on a rowing boat tour in Tam Coc and explore caves and pagodas.
2) Visit Bich Dong pagoda, which is nestled into the mountain side.
3) Climb 500 steps to the top of Lying Dragon Mountain, located at Mua Cave.
4) Cycle through the rice fields and villages for unforgettable views.
Hotels
There’s not too many options in Ninh Binh, but they are good.
1) Lys Homestay.
Run by an amazing family, the rooms are clean and full of natural light. The location is great and is near all the restaurants and shops. If you need to rent a bicycle or scooter, you can do that here!
2) Banana Tree Hostel
A bit more social and upbeat, this is also a great place to stay. It’s located in the same area as Lys Homestay, so you get the same great experience!
Food & Restaurants
For us, this is where Ninh Binh lacked a bit of quality. However, there is still some decent options to choose from.
1) T-Pub Restaurant
For some amazing freshly made pizza!
2) Lantern Restaurant
For some great Vietnamese food!
3) Pig Family Cafe & Restaurant
For some cheap food and cheap beer!

A Legindary Viewpoint in Tam Coc
Hang Mua Viewpoint is the name of this place. It's located in Tam Coc, near Ninh Binh, about 4 hours drive from Hanoi.
There is a huge lotus pond near this place, so try to plan the visit on Lotus season.
The viewpoint is on a high mountain, where you can climb by stairs.
The trip is tiring, make sure you are in a good physical shape before you go. But even though climbing there is very tiring the views are absolutely breathtaking.
There is a small fee for the entrance and a place to park your bike.

2-hour bamboo boat cruise with scenic views
A famous attraction, Trang An. Known as “Halong Bay on land”. Local women get to row the boat once every 3 days to earn US$10 to feed their families. It would be nice if the rower can communicate simple English so that she can identify the specific attraction to take note of (eg. King Kong movie location spot). Otherwise, it was relaxing to enjoy the cruise, chatting with your fellow boat travelers (up to 4 pax) and going through a few limestone caves. There was also small paddles onboard for us to try some rowing too. #2023TravelWish #ninhbinh

After the rain, comes the hues
Water Temple at Trang An in Ninh Binh;
This is definitely one of my top must visit sites for anyone who is looking for serenity on their path to enlightenment. The energy here reminds me of the vortex in Sedona. You leave here feeling full and rejuvenated.
We took a tour from Hanoi for $33/each. The tour started at 830am and lasted until 8pm. It included a buffet meal, pickup and dropoff from hotel within Old town, a few water bottles, all entrance fees and a local guide. Bring some extra tips for the guides. It was pouring when we went on the tour and the boat captain pushed all 4 of us along the river without an umbrella. She still had a smile on her face and offered to take photos for us.

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.

Ninh Binh at night🌜
Ninh Binh is well known by its stunning landscapes and beautiful views full of greenery and mountains, specially during the day. But Ninh Binh also has nice views at night.

Breathtaking tour through grottoes and caves
This natural caves and grottoes complex were awarded UNESCO heritage award. We booked a boat ride through the caves, temples and grottoes. The boat is using maneuvered manually without any assisted motor to ensure the nature is not disturbed by human intervention. The boat lady really amazed us by her riding skill (we were a party of 6 people). She also shared with us the story of this complex, the caves and the temples nearby. Along the way, you can stop at these places for a leg stretch and mesmerize the beauty of nature. It’s so stunning that these limestone caves were formed years ago and still remained majestic. Definitely will come back to try another route to explore this area more. Do tip the boat guide as they earn very little from the ticket sale by the company who manages this complex.

Land of the forgotten
A trip to Ninh Binh is number one on my itinerary for things to do in Vietnam. Long forgotten but once the capital of Dinh dynasty Vietnam and a stronghold to keep out the Mongol advances; Ninh Binh offers the natural wonders that once made it the heart of ancient Vietnam. I had taken a tour from Hanoi which covered all the Gate entrance fees to each site as well as buffet lunch. Recommend staying a night in Ninh Binh to catch the lantern displays by the river and cycling along many of the river front areas.
Getting There - Day Tours from Hanoi, Grab/Taxi, Rentals.
Attractions - Hoa Lu Shines & Temples, Hua Mua View point & Cave, Trang An Pagodas & Temples.
Price - Day Tours from Hanoi start from VND750,000 with free hotel pickup from French Quarter only. Each site has gate entry fees that range between VND20.000 To VND 100.000.

Bich Dong Pagoda, Ninh Binh, Vietnam🇻🇳
Ninh Binh
I didn’t anticipate falling in love with Ninh Binh as much as I did. We stayed in one of Vietnam’s most famous hostels, ‘The Banana Tree’, nestled into the caves & mountains that surround Tam Coc lake. Looking towards the mountains, you can almost imagine a pterodactyl flying between the rocks & massive sea monsters emerging from the lakes.
We visited Bich Dong Pagoda by foot, an incredible walk where we encountered a gang of goats, multiple cockerels & a few stray dogs. The pagoda was first built in 1428 and is a beautiful spot for ancient, natural beauty.
For the 4 days that we’ve been here, the weather has been dismal; foggy, cloudy, rainy & humid. But, at times, it almost made the views better.
I definitely recommend at least 2 days here, just to totally immerse yourself in the beautiful nature than Ninh Binh has to offer.
