It’s hard to say when it started, but every June, people excitedly call each other to visit Ninh Binh, eager to experience the stunning beauty of the blooming lotus flowers. Their subtle fragrance and the gentle, almost intoxicating colors of the blossoms have a strange way of captivating everyone. At this time of year, without any need for invitation, the memory of the place calls them back, drawing them to its embrace.
The lotus holds a special place in the cultural and spiritual life of the people of Ninh Binh
Ninh Binh is known as the ancient capital, the cradle of Buddhism, which is why the lotus flower holds a special and deeply cherished significance for the people here.
From late May to mid-July, when the summer sun bathes the streets in a warm golden hue, people flock to Ninh Binh to enjoy moments of relaxation surrounded by the gentle fragrance of lotus flowers, or simply to capture beautiful photos next to the captivating colors of these blossoms.
Ninh Binh offers several stunning spots for lotus viewing that you should not miss. These include the Van Long Wetland, the foot of Ngoa Long Mountain, Mua Cave, and even the homestays where you stay, many of which have their own lotus ponds, large and small, for visitors to admire freely.
Capture stunning photos at the lotus pond beneath the Mua Cave
However, one of the most picturesque lotus spots in Ninh Binh that has captured the admiration of many is the lotus pond near Mua Cave. The pond, covering an area of about 1 hectare, is surrounded by a breathtakingly scenic landscape: one side is the towering Ngoa Long Mountain, while the other is a golden rice field, with the lotus pond in between, featuring a wooden pathway that gives visitors the feeling of being lost in the vastness of the lotus pond.
Each time the lotus blossoms, the scene here transforms into a magnificent natural painting, where the pink lotus flowers stand out against the lush green leaves, the white of the clouds above, and in the distance, the golden expanse of the rice field in harvest season. What makes the lotus pond at Mua Cave truly remarkable is the wooden bridge that cuts through the pond. From above, the bridge takes on the shape of a giant lotus flower, a captivating sight. To fully immerse yourself in the fresh air and stunning beauty of the lotus pond, wake up early, stroll along the wooden bridge, inhale the sweet scent of the lotus, and watch as the buds gently begin to open... It will undoubtedly be a peaceful and wonderful moment to connect with nature.
The lotus pond in the evening glow
Or, as the evening sets in, when the sun begins to dip behind the mountains and the sky turns a mysterious red, you can bring along your camera and perhaps don a flowing traditional dress to capture some enchanting photos that exude a sense of otherworldly beauty right at the lotus pond.
Currently, the road to Ninh Binh is quite accessible, with expressways leading directly here from Hanoi and surrounding provinces, making travel effortless. However, for those coming from further provinces, there are no direct flights to Ninh Binh yet, so you can book a flight to Hanoi and continue your journey, which will take only about an hour from there.
