Ninh Binh Vietnam

Ricefield at Tam Coc

The backwater of Ninh Binh is only 2 hours' drive from Hanoi and the land is home to so many tourist attractions that if you spend enough time here, then your vacation is definitely a memorable one.

Ninh Binh is located deep in the Red River Delta with basically flat terrain. The rice fields in Ninh Binh are beautiful during harvest times. Yet there are ranges of karst mountains and outcrops along with crisscrossing rivers which divide the land into enclosed valleys and flooded fields. Many of these are accessible by only rowing boats which travel through underwater caves...

Besides, Ninh Binh was the site of the capital city of Vietnam in the 10th century. There are archaeological sites and historical temples for those interested in these topics. So you come to Ninh Binh on a family holiday, or a photography trip, or a romantic getaway, or an easy bicycle tour, a historical tour, a cultural experience... you'll surely find something for yourself in this hidden charm.
