Where is ninh Binh ?

Ninh Binh is located about 100 Km south of Hanoi. It takes about 4 hours by bus to get there. Comfortable journey for one of the must-see and peaceful spots in Vietnam.  

How to got to must-see in Ninh binh ?

You can get there either by bus or train. Our Hotel in Hanoi arranged the transfer by bus for USD 15 per person. I guess you can still negotiate the price if you have the patience and willpower. The transit time : 3-4 hours to get to your destination.

Where to stay in ninh binh ?

I would recommend staying out of the city. Purely and solely in the middle of the water and mountain to experience the best of this place. We stayed at Lotus Field Homestay, lovely, clean with nice food. Enjoy your own bungalow and fell asleep lulled by the sound of nature. They provide bicycles for free so that you can enjoy the surrounding.

The must-see in ninh binh ?

Firstly, rent the bicycles to reach the must-see in Ninh Binh. There are several points of interest. We chose to ride around without a specific goal and we discovered the local life. Many goats, cows, and water buffaloes are in total freedom. Their shepherds are nearby to ensure their safety.

Tips for your trip :

1 – If you want to avoid riding to the city (about 14 km), better to withdraw enough money for your stay as there is only one ATM (near the points of interest) and you will hardly find money in it. A smarty-pants withdraws all of it and asks you for an additional fee (8%)

2 – The lady from Tam Coc Boat tour will kind of oblige you to buy her some food and give her some tips. If you do not give enough they will react badly. Be careful with the scams.

3 – From Ninh Binh, take a morning bus to Cat Ba Island and enjoy Halong Bay, beaches, fresh coconuts.

Vietnam is one of my favorite countries. It has a lot of must-see, must-do, and must-eat.

Below only a few destinations in North Vietnam :

Sa Pa

– Cooking class in Hanoi

I have a special “coup de Coeur” for the city of Hanoi. 

The atmosphere, little hidden places, street food, and nightlife are everything you need.

Another Southeast Asia country that worth the visit is Cambodia.

Enjoy,
