Ninh Bình, Vietnam
If you coming from Halong Bay or Cat Ba, there are direct buses to Ninh Binh so no need to return Hanoi
In the fact that the city of Ninh Binh itself is not pretty and there is basically nothing to see. It is the reason why you should not book hotels in the city center, but in the other tourist areas - look for hotels in or around Tam Coc area.
Tam Coc: A specific, popular town and major tourist site located in Ninh Binh.
What makes Tam Coc special:
Boat Trips: Visitors take sampan boats rowed by locals through the Ngo Dong River, passing under three limestone caves (Hang Ca, Hang Hai, Hang Ba).
Scenery: Lush green rice paddies, dramatic limestone karsts (hills), and emerald waters.
Bich Dong Pagoda: An ancient, beautiful pagoda complex nearby.
– There is no ATMs in Tam Coc area so remember to bring enough cash with you;
Hoa Lu Ancient Capital- Vietnam’s first capital. There are two small but historic temples dedicated to King Dinh and King Le.
Boat ride to see the Trang A Grottos - part of Trang A Landscape Complex, Covering an area of total 2,168 hectares, the grottoes were recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage for both their natural and cultural values
