Visit Ninh Binh and enjoy every single minute on the peaceful countryside roads from Hoa Lu to Tam Coc. The distance 10km between these two spots is nicely embellished with rice fields, lime-stones, waterways, local villages and their people.
For decades, Tam Coc has been marked in many western guidebooks and travel forums as a picturesque landscape in Ninh Binh, North Vietnam. The must-do two hour rowing boat trip takes you through THREE natural caves.
Thai Vi Temple is just next to Tam Coc, surrounded by beautiful rice fields. This small temple is dedicated for worshipping kings and queens under the 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.
Many tourists have named Mua Cave (Hang Mua) the “Mini Grand Canyon of Ninh Binh”. Achieve the 500 steps to get high and record the stunning views of the Tam Coc River and the downtown of city.
