This peaceful paradise is where nature and history beautifully intertwine.

Here, you can choose to explore the sacred grandeur of Bái Đính Pagoda — the largest in Southeast Asia — or step back in time at the ancient capital of Hoa Lư, where the echoes of Vietnam’s first dynasties still linger.

Ninh Binh isn’t just a destination; it’s an experience that awakens your senses and stirs your soul.

• Bai Dinh Pagoda - Visiting Bái Đính Pagoda means stepping into a sacred and awe-inspiring spiritual sanctuary — the largest pagoda in Vietnam. Nestled at the foot of the majestic Dinh Mountain and overlooking a serene river valley, Bái Đính offers not only breathtaking scenery but also a deeply cultural and spiritual experience.

Marvel at the towering golden Buddha statues that radiate a sense of peace and grandeur, and wander through tranquil courtyards lined with hundreds of intricately carved Arhat statues. Here, you can learn about Buddhism, Vietnam’s most widely practiced religion, and immerse yourself in a space where ancient traditions and spirituality come vividly to life.

You’ll also have the chance to explore the old Bái Đính Pagoda — a sacred site over a thousand years old, quietly resting on the mountainside. This ancient temple holds profound historical significance, once closely tied to Vietnam’s royal dynasties and their devotion to the Buddha.

• Hoa Lu District - Visiting Hoa Lư means embarking on a journey through Vietnam’s heroic past. Nestled among towering limestone mountains and lush green landscapes, this ancient capital offers a rare window into the country’s earliest days of unification.

You can hop on a bicycle and meander along peaceful village paths, cross charming bridges, and glide past golden rice fields beneath the shadows of majestic cliffs. (If you prefer, a comfortable car ride is also available.)

Upon arrival, you’ll step into the heart of Vietnam’s first capital. Explore the historic ruins embraced by nature and uncover the stories of the legendary Đinh and Lê dynasties — the powerful rulers who laid the foundations of the nation. As you wander through ancient temples and stone courtyards, you’ll be captivated by the majestic architecture, intricate carvings, and enduring craftsmanship that echo the glory of a bygone era.

• Trang An Grottoes - Continuing your journey to Tràng An, you’ll embark on a breathtaking 2.5-hour boat ride through one of Vietnam’s most stunning landscapes — a UNESCO World Heritage Site where nature and history blend in perfect harmony. As your wooden boat drifts along the crystal-clear river, you’ll weave through a labyrinth of limestone mountains, lush valleys, tranquil lakes, and mysterious caves.

You’ll glide through dark, winding grottoes adorned with shimmering stalactites that have formed over millions of years. Towering cliffs rise dramatically around you, their reflections mirrored flawlessly on the still water, while dense rainforests cling to the rugged rock faces — creating a scene of untouched, timeless beauty.

Along the way, your boat will stop at ancient temples hidden deep within nature — sacred, peaceful places that whisper stories of the past. The gentle rhythm of the paddles, the soft murmur of the wind, and the lapping of water create a calm, meditative atmosphere.

• Mua Caves - Conclude your journey with a visit to Mua Cave, one of the most breathtaking viewpoints in Ninh Binh. Here, you’ll climb the famous Dragon Mountain, ascending over 500 stone steps to reach a truly spectacular panorama. From the summit, you’ll be surrounded by majestic limestone peaks and gaze down at the winding Ngọc Đồng River, with sweeping views stretching across Tam Cốc’s picturesque landscape.

After the climb, take a peaceful stroll around Thung Sen, a serene lotus pond nestled at the mountain’s base. Especially in summer, the pond comes alive with blooming lotus flowers — Vietnam’s national flower — filling the air with their gentle fragrance and painting the scene with natural beauty.

Mua Cave is more than just a climb — it’s the perfect finale to your Ninh Binh adventure, where nature, peace, and wonder come together in perfect harmony.
