Hoa Lư – The Ancient Capital

Hoa Lư, the ancient capital of Vietnam in the 10th and 11th centuries, is a peaceful historic site nestled among limestone mountains in Ninh Bình province. Once the political and cultural center of the Đinh and Early Lê dynasties, it now offers visitors a glimpse into Vietnam’s royal past with ancient temples, stone gates, and timeworn pagodas. Surrounded by dramatic scenery, Hoa Lư is a fascinating stop for history lovers and anyone drawn to Vietnam’s rich heritage.

Tam Cốc – “Halong Bay on Land”

Tam Cốc, meaning “Three Caves,” is one of Vietnam’s most breathtaking natural wonders. Located in Ninh Bình, it’s best explored by bamboo boat, gently rowed by local guides along a serene river that winds through towering limestone cliffs, lush rice fields, and mysterious caves. As you glide through the tranquil landscape, the rhythm of the water and the stunning views create an unforgettable, almost dreamlike experience in the heart of the countryside.

Mua Cave

Mua Cave in Ninh Bình is a must-visit for breathtaking panoramic views of Vietnam’s countryside. After climbing its roughly 500 stone steps, you’ll reach a stunning viewpoint overlooking the winding river, rice paddies, and karst peaks of Tam Cốc. The dramatic scenery, especially at sunrise or sunset, makes this spot one of the most photographed and unforgettable in the region.
