Ninh Binh - Serenity With Stunning Views
1月7日, ベトナム ⋅ ⛅ 25 °C
The next stop on our Vietnam adventures brought us to Ninh Binh/Tam Coc. The surrounding area is known for its breathtaking landscape, also referred to as 'Ha Long Bay on land'.
With the overnight bus, we arrived at 4.30am and got a few more hours of sleep on a sunlounger before our room was ready. Once settled in, we hired some bikes and explored the surroundings and got a first glimpse at the massive limestone mountains that the area is famous for. We also paid a visit to a pagoda that was nestled into a mountainside and stretched over multiple levels. To finish the day off, we went to a cat cafe as Amy is obsessed with cats (I am rather indifferent, so I mainly enjoyed the views - not of the cats).
Day 2 was the big one and included activities that I was most looking forward to. We hired a scooter, met up with a few fellow travellers we met in Hoi An and headed to Trang An National Park. There, we hopped on a boat with which we rode along the waterways and among the limestones for the next 2.5h.
The scenery was simply breathtaking, as on the way we paddled through caves (one was 1km long), visited a few temples/pagodas by the water and simply enjoyed awe-inspiring views. It was quiet and peaceful and the only sound came from the paddles and the nature surrounding us. Behind every corner was a new photo opportunity, but sometimes it was best to just put the phone away and enjoy the beauty of the moment.
After the boat ride, the next highlight was already waiting for us - a climb up the Mua Cave mountain for some incredible sunset views. The 500 steps up were certainly worth the effort.
The Mua Cave mountain actually has two viewpoints and we went up the lower one first. After taking in the views, we went to the second viewpoint and stayed there for a fair bit to watch a colourful sun setting between the omnipresent limestones. It really was a perfect end to the day that I was looking very much forward to. The scenery and views certainly fulfilled all expectations and then some.
On the third day, Amy and I hopped back on the scooters and explored Vietnam's ancient capital Hoa Lu (from 968-1010) and a nearby lake that we almost had to ourselves.
Afterwards, we ate some Banh Mi Chao (a baguette with the ingredients not stuffed inside, but sizzling on a pan) before getting ready to say goodbye to Ninh Binh the following day.もっと詳しく
