Ninh Binh
Ninh Binh, often dubbed the “Halong Bay on land,” captivates visitors with its dramatic landscapes of towering limestone karsts emerging from serene rice paddies and peaceful waterways, a truly UNESCO-worthy setting. Its top attractions include riverboat tours through Trang An or Tam Coc–Bich Đong, where boats glide beneath grottoes and beside centuries-old temples, and climbing up Hang Múa for panoramic views over winding rivers and lush valleys. History enthusiasts will appreciate a visit to Hoa Lu Ancient Capital, once Vietnam’s early imperial seat, while spiritual travelers can explore the expansive Bai Đinh Pagoda, the largest Buddhist complex in Vietnam. With its stunning landscapes, rich history, and cultural charm, Ninh Bình is a must-visit in northern Vietnam.
