Top 4 Most Beautiful and Famous Tourist Spots in Ninh Binh

To conclude the list of the most beautiful and famous tourist destinations in Ninh Binh, Mytour presents an interesting stop, the Tam Coc Scenic Area - Tam Coc Tourism Area. This area is located within the UNESCO World Heritage Trang An Scenic Landscape Complex, situated in Ninh Hai commune, Hoa Lu district, about 8km from Ninh Binh city center.

Tam Coc, which literally means “three caves,” includes Cave One (127m long), Cave Two (60m long), and Cave Three (50m long). These caves were formed by the Ngo Dong River cutting through the mountains, creating the first boat tour route in the area. Tam Coc Tourism Area is set in the Hoa Lu limestone mountain range. In this area, natural landscapes like the Ngo Dong River, Cave One, Cave Two, and Cave Three, combine harmoniously with architectural landmarks such as the Thai Vi Temple (dedicated to the Tran Kings) and Bich Dong Pagoda, creating a breathtaking scene often referred to as the 'Second Most Beautiful Cave in the South.'

When visiting Tam Coc, visitors can take a boat ride from the main dock. The boat will take guests along the winding Ngo Dong River through mountain cliffs, water caves, and rice fields. Along the journey, stories of history and legends associated with the names of various rock formations and cliffs will be shared. Distinctive mountain peaks, such as Kim Quy (shaped like a turtle) and Ham Rong (resembling a dragon’s head), are given names inspired by their shapes. Notably, during May and June, visitors should not miss the opportunity to visit Tam Coc Tourism Area in Ninh Binh when the rice fields are in their golden harvest season, offering a tranquil and picturesque rural landscape, like something out of a serene film or storybook. Additionally, during festivals, guests can enjoy various cultural and folk performances, including water puppetry, hat xam (a form of traditional singing), and boat rowing, all for free.

Visitors can also sample local delicacies such as: Goat meat, Burnt rice, Ant egg sticky rice, Fish salad, and Nho Quan wine...

When talking about Ninh Binh, we cannot forget to mention Trang An Heritage Site. Trang An Eco-tourism Complex is Vietnam's first and Southeast Asia’s first dual heritage site recognized by UNESCO. It is said that if you visit Ninh Binh without stopping by Trang An, your trip would not be complete.

Trang An Eco-tourism Complex is often referred to as a “dry Ha Long Bay.” This area features a diverse system of limestone mountains and natural caves. The harmonious beauty of the sky, land, mountains, and rivers in Trang An creates an enchanting, lively natural world that cannot be found elsewhere. Trang An offers many tourist spots, but some of the most iconic locations representing the beauty of the entire tourism complex are as follows:

• Bai Dinh Pagoda: One of the largest pagodas in Vietnam, a spiritual tourism destination known for its record number of statues and the grand scale of the pagoda.
• Kong Skull Island Film Set: The film set of Kong Skull Island, replicating the tents where African natives live, as seen in the movie.
• The Cave Complex at Trang An: The most exciting part of a visit to Trang An is taking a boat ride along the water to explore 12 magnificent caves. Each cave has its unique features, leaving visitors in awe of the beauty. One of the caves, the Wine Brewing Cave, is about 250 meters long.
• Ancient Capital Hoa Lu: Hoa Lu, the ancient capital of Đại Cồ Việt, is closely linked to the legend of the “flag of lau” used in battle by King Đinh Bộ Lĩnh. The historical site includes the temples of King Đinh and King Lê.
• Tam Coc: Here, you can explore the caves of Tam Coc and other large limestone caves such as Fish Cave, Middle Cave, and End Cave. Visitors will immerse themselves in the stunning natural scenery while drifting along the Ngo Dong River and viewing the lush rice fields stretching along the riverbanks.
