Ninh Binh

Bus trip from Halong to Ninh Binh about 4 hrs but the journey is slow distance not that great. Darcy booked AirBnB “The Wooden Gate” lovely 2 story apartment with great swimming pool.
We booked a day tour for Ninh Binh to fit as much in as possible:
• Mua Cave - early so hardly any people. It was amazing views incredible & about 600 steps (both view points).
• Hoa Lu Ancient Capital (1st capital of Vietnam 968) - very interesting history lesson about 2 kings & and emperor & the strong women next to them who probably were the real rulers.
• Trang An UNESCO river boat ride included King Kong Is but only the village I think the mountain filming happened in Halong Bay.

Nice peaceful stay in what felt like a small village but in reality just on the outskirts of Ninh Binh city.Читать далее
