Vietnam‘s „dry Halong Bay“

We decide not to sleep directly in Ninh Binh, but in Tam Coc, because this is where most of the sights are. Starting with the Mua Cave and the Mua Peak, which you reach after about 500 steps and has a breathtaking view of the hilly landscape (the area is also called Vietnam’s „dry Halong Bay“) 🗻

Without sturdy shoes, the last few steps up to the dragon were a bit wobbly and risky, but it was definitely worth it.

We continued by bike to the Ancient Village, where I, as a blonde, was forced to take photos by several Chinese (or Korean?) women 🥴

Exploring the area by bike is highly recommended. You cycle past countless rice fields and rocks. Unfortunately, it's not rice season at the moment, but we can imagine how beautiful the area is when everything is a vibrant light green. Definitely a reason to come here again! 🌱🚲Read more
