For decades, Tam Coc has been marked in many western guidebooks and travel forums as a picturesque landscape in Ninh Binh, North Vietnam. Thai Vi Temple is just at middle of Tam Coc, surrounded by beautiful rice fields. This small temple is dedicated for worshipping kings and queens under early Tran Dynasty to honor their great contribution to the country.
Further down 2km from Tam Coc, Bich Dong Pagoda lies behind big trees and mountains. It is known as one of the oldest pagodas in town. Tourists will be impressed by the traditional architecture and the amazing work by the old people to build a pagoda on mountains.
