Ninh Binh, also known as the land of the ancient capital, is a place with majestic nature with many temples. As the capital of Vietnam in the period 968 - 1010 with 3 dynasties Dinh - Le - Ly, Ninh Binh possesses many cultural heritages and a world biosphere reserve. From the above, a lot of entertainment activities have appeared. Let's explore with us things you must do in Ninh Binh.
Thanks to its picturesque scenery and abundant limestone karsts and caves, Trang An in Ninh Binh is referred to as "Halong Bay on land." Although it is possible to drive, cycle, or even walk around the mountains, the majority of visitors use a Trang An rowing boat to explore the most beautiful areas of the destination. This activity takes about 3-4 hours with 8 km both going back and forth through some places such as: Temple, Tam Quan Gate, Dark Cave, Pearl Mountain,... There are many tours that apply this sport activity, including Trang An – Bai Dinh Full-Day Tour from Hanoi. You can refer to it to find the best option when traveling to Vietnam.

About 14 km from Trang An, Tam Coc is renowned for its breathtaking views of the nearby limestone mountains. There were a lot of locals on the fields along the river's two sides. You will get the chance to observe the summit of Mua cave from a different perspective midway through your boat excursion. During this trip, you will unwind and take in the tranquility of this location.
To explore Tam Coc, the only way is to use boats. The boatmen will take you through the cliffs and rice fields on the Ngo Dong river. The rice fields can be changed according to the rice season ( green rice, yellow, and golden rice season)
Tam Coc means three caves, which consist of Ca, Hai, and Ba caves. Three caves are formed by the Ngo Dong river that runs through the mountains. You are going to spend around 2 hours on the boat trip. Take in the beautiful historical scenery and create more memories with Tam Coc Hoa Lu Private Day Tour.
Van Long Nature Reserve is a member of Ninh Binh province and is located about 80 kilometers from Hanoi city, which is also an enormous spot for a one-day trip. Delacour's langurs, an endangered species of monkey, are best known for living in this area. As numerous bird species, including storks and herons, call this area home, it is also a bird watcher's paradise.
Compared to the crafts in Trang An and Tam Coc, the boats in Van Long Nature Reserve are built of bamboo and have a somewhat distinct appearance. Despite being designed for shallow water, you might still get caught if the water level is lower when you come.
The rowing boat in Van Long lasts 1 to 1.5 hours. You should visit in the afternoon at around 3.30 to 4.30 pm if you would like to watch flying langurs, storks and enjoy a peaceful sunset.
