A day in Ninh Binh by hot travel blogger
2.1 Following the flow of history back to the ancient capital Hoa Lu
From 968 to 1010, Hoa Lu was the capital of Vietnam under the Dinh, Tien Le and Tien Ly dynasties. It is also known as the hometown of King Dinh Tien Hoang (Dinh Bo Linh). For travel bloggers, Hoa Lu Ancient Capital is a place that everyone should visit once to understand and feel the historical value of the nation.
The ravages of time and many historical events, the bustling and magnificent capital of the past only exist in history books, the ancient capital now only has small and modest relics such as Le Dai Hanh Temple and Dinh Tien Hoang Temple. The deeper he goes into the tour, the more he feels like he is returning to the historical Dinh Dynasty thousands of years ago but still intact with the heroic national spirit.
2.2 Boat trip to Trang An
Although this is the second time we have been here, our blogger still feels as excited as the first time. In 2014, Trang An and Tam Coc – Bich Dong – Hoa Lu were recognized by UNESCO as dual natural and cultural heritages.
The value of Trang An is expressed by nature, slowly cruising around Trang An, you can slowly enjoy the beauty of this place. Trang An appears like a painting, both quiet and lively. From afar, many beautiful stalactite caves appear, formed hundreds of millions of years, reflecting the clear water surface, the scene is like you are entering a fairyland.
An interesting point when taking a boat trip to Trang An is that you can try rowing, because there are always oars for visitors to visit.
Boat rental price: 250,000 VND
2.3 See Mua Cave – Ngoa Long Mountain – end of a day in Ninh Binh
The last stop on Thanh Co’s one-day itinerary in Ninh Binh is Hang Mua. After 2 hours of being fascinated by Trang An, he was captivated by the beautiful scenery here. Since ancient times, it is said that Hang Mua was the place where kings and lords held banquets. It took him 20 minutes to climb Ngoa Long Mountain and was overwhelmed by the majestic fairyland from the top of the mountain. If this were a period drama, Ngoa Long Mountain could be likened to a place where a martial arts sect practiced.
Entrance fee: 100,000 VND/person
Ngoa Long Mountain has 2 different peaks, he recommends that you climb both to admire the magnificent panoramic beauty of the mountains and countryside of Ninh Binh.
