Located just a two-hour drive south of Hanoi, Ninh Binh offers a true glimpse of Vietnam, characterized by its friendly locals and stunning limestone landscapes. This breathtaking region was featured in the famous movie "King Kong" (2017).
You can enjoy a serene boat ride on the tranquil rivers of Van Long, Tam Coc, or Trang An, leisurely bike through charming hamlets, visit centuries-old temples and pagodas, or hike from the base to the peak of Hang Mua Mountain for spectacular views. Ninh Binh is a destination worth experiencing at least once in your lifetime.
Ninh Binh welcomes you year-round, showcasing its unique beauty in every season. Spring (February to April) is marked by festivals and religious ceremonies at Bai Dinh Pagoda, the largest in Southeast Asia. Summer (May to August) brings warm, wet weather, transforming the landscape into vast green rice fields—perfect for photography. Autumn (September to November) is ideal for biking and hiking, allowing you to immerse yourself among thousands of water lilies in the UNESCO Preservation Center. The cooler winter months provide a great opportunity to observe migratory birds returning to the area.
Ninh Binh is the perfect addition to your itinerary, easily combined with visits to Hanoi, Halong Bay, and Pu Luong.
