More than 1000 years ago Ninh Binh used to be the capital of Vietnamese feudal dynasties. Currently, this place worships the kings who had the merit of unifying, developing and defending the country, ending more than 1000 years of Northern domination (Northern is a colony of the North - now the "People's Republic of China" ), overthrowing the plot to assimilate the Vietnamese people. Especially, Ninh Binh has Trang An scenic spot which has been recognized by UNESCO as a world cultural heritage and also a world natural heritage. The final destination of the journey is the Mua cave. Here you will pass more than 500 stone steps to reach the top of the mountain, enjoy a rare moment of peace, watch the rice fields stretch, scattered around are the houses of the local people, glimmering behind the hazy kitchen smoke, in the distance are limestone mountains more than 1 million years old, with your companions waiting for the sunset to fall, this is the right time to take commemorative photos.

Ancient beauty and breathtaking views

5.00Day tour booked from Hanoi and this tour blew our expectations out of the water! The bike ride through rice fields was serene and boat traveling through the limestone karst of Tam Coc was amazing. A challenge to climb 500 steps up to the top of Mua Cave, but the view on the other side was worth it. Our guide also gave us interesting stories about Hanoias ancient capital, Hoa Lu. The right mix of history, nature and excitement. Even the lunch that comes included was good
A truly amazing experience, excellent services, excellent tour guide

5.00Our tour guide was knowledgeable and passionate about the local area, and was able to provide us with valuable insights into the rich cultural and historical heritage of Ninh Binh. The sights we visited were simply breathtaking, and the tour offered a perfect blend of natural beauty, cultural heritage, and local life. One of the highlights of the tour was visiting Tam Coc, where we were able to take a scenic boat ride through stunning limestone cliffs and peaceful rice paddies. The scenery was simply breathtaking and we were able to see local life up close, with water buffalo grazing by the river and farmers tending to their fields. Another highlight of the tour was visiting the Bich Dong Pagoda, which offered a unique and beautiful insight into traditional Vietnamese religious architecture. The pagoda was surrounded by lush green hills, and the views from the top were simply stunning. Our guide was able to provide us with valuable insights into the pagoda's history and significance, and the visit was a truly enriching experience.
Everything was perfectly
