Discover the best experiences this city has to offer
Ninh Binh is a mesmerizing tapestry of nature and history, often described as 'Halong Bay on Land' for its dramatic limestone karsts that rise vertically from flat valleys of rice paddies and winding rivers. As the home of the Trang An Landscape Complex, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the region offers a surreal visual experience where visitors can drift on traditional sampan boats through mysterious caves and lush grottoes, surrounded by the sounds of untouched nature. Beyond its geological wonders, Ninh Binh is the spiritual and historical heart of the nation, having served as the ancient capital of Vietnam in the 10th and 11th centuries. From the historic temples of Hoa Lu to the massive architecture of Bai Dinh Pagoda—the largest Buddhist complex in Southeast Asia—the city offers a profound connection to the past. Whether hiking up Mua Cave for panoramic dragon-back views or cycling through quiet rural villages, Ninh Binh promises an escape into a world of tranquility and awe.
