- Tam Coc - The enchanting, watery allure of the Tam Coc “three caves” area, often described as a smaller, inland version of Ha Long Bay, is hard to resist.

- Tam Coc - The enchanting, watery allure of the Tam Coc “three caves” area, often described as a smaller, inland version of Ha Long Bay, is hard to resist. The film Indochine brought it to the attention of tourists, leading to both positive and negative outcomes – improved access roads, but some canal banks have been concreted. Additionally, Tam Coc has become highly commercialized, with many visitors’ experiences marred by aggressive sales tactics at the end of their trips.
- Hoa Lu temples of the Dinh & Le Dynasties - Hoa Lu, the capital of Vietnam during the 10th and 11th centuries, is located in Ninh Binh Province. This region, characterized by rice fields interspersed with limestone mountains, is about 90 km south of Hanoi. Along with Phat Diệm Cathedral, Tam Coc - Bich Dong, Bai Đinh Temple, Trang An, and Cuc Phương, Hoa Lu is a notable tourist destination in Ninh Binh Province.
- Mua Caves - Climbing hundreds of steps (500) to reach a hilltop temple, the breathtaking views from Hang Mua over Tam Coc and Ninh Binh’s picturesque countryside make the effort worthwhile.
- Bich Dong Pagoda - Bich Dong Pagoda is one of Ninh Binh’s most captivating landmarks. Known as the second most beautiful cave in the South, after Huong Tich cave in Ha Tay, it is a must-visit.
