2025 Ninh Binh Province Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in July)

If you are looking for a hotel to stay at Ninh Binh and have kids, this may be a place to consider staying. Clean, spacious with seats outside the room to chill as well, it was worth the price of only 20$ a night. Was in a rush and did not have time for food photos but it was cooked on the spot and tasted homely. address Tam coc victoria hotel Đội 1 Văn Lâm, Ninh Hải, Hoa Lư, Ninh Bình, Vietnam

If you get a chance to visit Ninh Binh, a place you will need to experience and visit has to be The Viet Ancient Village. Located near town, this village has props, houses made of straw for you to role play and pick up items as if you live here. I also got to enter the houses and they even had a functional toilet as well. located at Ninh Hải, Hoa Lư District, Ninh Bình, Vietnam

Dia Tang Phi Lai Pagoda - Located 28km north of Ninh Binh, the temple was built in 11th Century was later refurbished in 2015. The complex were built in Champa architectural style with distintive character seen in its roof style and tiles. The complex nestled at the foot of a hill with secondary forest and bamboos as its background. You can feel the serenity and tranquil atmosphere while appreciating the intriquite timber detail as it main structure. The caretaker did a good job in taking care of it. A well maintain piece of heritage for the future generation.

NHÀ HÀNG HTC VIỆT - ẤN, HTC INDIAN CUISINE This is a restaurant that I was taken to for lunch during a tour of Ninh Binh in Vietnam 🇻🇳 It's located very close to the ancient capital of Hoa Lu! They served Ninh Binh's specialty goat meat dishes, scorched rice, spring rolls, and more in a course meal format! 🐐 Ninh Binh is a mountainous area with many dangerous mountains, so it is said to be a suitable place for raising goats. They also had a Japanese menu, and they served delicious food that was easy for Japanese people to eat ✨️ The carrots on the plate were cute every time 😂 Address: Trường Yên, Hoa Lư District, Ninh Bình, Vietnam #Spring0yentrip #Vietnam #Vietnamesefood #Vietnamtourism #NinhBinh

We experienced a small boat rowing trip in the Trang An Gorge, a World Heritage Site in Vietnam✨️ It was a boat for 3-4 adults! The boat rower was a veteran, and stopped when we got to a photo spot, even though we didn't speak the same language, she gestured to let us know she would be the photographer, and carefully took photos of each of us🥰 There were no bugs in the river, and we could leisurely enjoy the natural trees and cave scenery, which became my personal No. 1 spot for traveling in Vietnam👍 #Spring0yentrip #Vietnam #TrangAn #NinhBinh

In September this year, I went on a whirlwind trip to Vietnam! Our plan was to visit various places like Ha Long Bay, but Typhoon Yagi hit and ruined all our plans 😂 The roof of the hotel I was staying at got ripped off, and it felt like a life-threatening situation 🤣 In Hanoi, many trees were knocked down due to the typhoon's impact, but we decided to make the best of it and went to Ninh Binh! The pho and banh mi were absolutely delicious! I will definitely go back to Vietnam for a revenge trip! 😊

Travel to Ninh Binh for 1 day with a private local guide 💕 This trip, Cat traveled with Vietnamese friends for a total of 16 days. The main cities we went to were Ha Noi and Ha Long. On the way, we also stopped by Ninh Binh. 🏞️ 💞Reason for recommendation: Ninh Binh is a small province in Vietnam that many people do not know or are not familiar with. Ninh Binh is a coastal province surrounded by mountains. It is also a famous natural tourist attraction and has been certified by UNESCO as a natural heritage. 🗓️Travel: 2 hours from Ha Noi. We took a limousine to the fishing port for only 380 baht per person.

Amazing hike went for 500 steps there are stops where you can catch your breath then keep going, to buy water and snacks. The ticket was affordable and the whole environment is breathtaking 🥰. #ninhbinhtrip #Hang Mua cave Getting There - I used grab from the hotel easy to drive around with grab app Attractions - amazing views, beautiful mountains, terrace and reaching the top is the best achievement ever Hotels - There are a lot of hotels and home stay around Food & Restaurants - There are plenty Vietnamese restaurants close to this amazing place

There aren't many things to do in Hanoi, so we often travel to nearby places like Halong Bay, Ninh Binh, and Cat Ba Island. We were already a little tired from traveling to Sapa, so we went to Ninh Binh, which has the shortest travel time, as a day tour. The tour courses were mostly similar: Bai Dinh Temple - Trang An Boat Tour - Hang Mua. I was surprised by the size of Bai Dinh Temple, which I went to without any expectations. The Trang An Boat Tour took about 2 hours on a boat, but it would have been okay if it had been a little shorter. But the view was so pretty. Those who go should bring a hat. Hang Mua has steep stairs, but it's not a long course, so it wasn't too difficult, but you have to be careful on the way down. #VietnamTravel #OverseasTravel #FreeAccommodationVoucherEvent #NinhBinh

A memorable experience in Ninh Binh. The spring weather is very pleasant, sitting on a boat watching the mountains and breathing in the fresh air is so comfortable. I am so happy that I was able to set foot here on my "brilliant" journey. Unforgettable. #awesomepic

#timetotravel #kongisland #naturewonders Ninh Binh is a magical place ! You can take a meandering boat ride, cycle along scenic fields or hike 500steps for a magnificent view! The location made famous by the movie!

If you happen to visit Ninh Binh, do check out this temple that is open till late night. decided to visit evening time as it will allow me to see the temple being lit - however, it was very big and did not have time to finish exploring. Do leave aside half or one day for this place if you plan to visit Address Bich Dong Pagoda Chùa Bích Động 6W99+C23, Ninh Hải, Hoa Lư, Ninh Bình 430000, Vietnam

Ninh Binh is located around 90 km. away from Hanoi. I visited Hanoi for 5 days and was wondering if there is a beautiful natural place to go. I came up with Nih Binh since it is known as 'the inland cousin of Ha Long Bay' and it was a filming location of Kong: Skull Island (2017). I took a van directly from Hanoi which takes 1.5 hours and stayed there for one night. I took a boat cave tour at Tràng An to see hidden temples and lots of beautiful scenery. Also, in the morning, I went to Mua Cave for hiking. Although it was tiring with steps, the view from the top is great. #ninhbinh #vietnam #hanoi

From food to people to places. Vietnam is just simply breathtaking. So many spots to visit, so many activities to experience, so many delicacies to try (you should not miss their pho hoa and coffee and of course- Vietnam Beer). And one more thing, everything in Vietnam is cheap and affordable. Will definitely visit this paradise again. #mytripvlog #vietnam #foodie #wheninvietnam

Mua Cave, a viewpoint where you can enjoy beautiful scenery in Ninh Binh, Vietnam If you climb 500 steps, you will see an unbelievable and wonderful scenery~

I've seen a lot of reviews, there are many one-day trip programs in tour shops, but no one has stayed overnight. Today, I would like to review "Wanna go to Ninh Binh without a tour?" It's easy, good income, just have to spend 6-10 hours in front of the computer per day (Hmmmm...not really). It's easy, really easy, but you'll probably have more than 1 day. Go in early June, 2 nights, 3 days. When you get there, if the bag you bring is small and can be carried anywhere, you can rent a motorbike from the shop in front of Ninh Binh train station. The price is 100,000-120,000 per day, depending on the car. The shop will ask for your ID card. But if you have a lot of bags and burdens, call a taxi in front of the station. Go to Tam Coc, about 8-9 kilometers, Trang An 9 kilometers, Hang Mua 7 kilometers. The fare for all the places mentioned should not exceed 80,000. If it exceeds, just keep going. When you arrive at the hotel, you can't find a motorcycle rental shop. There is a motorcycle delivery service that will take you to the hotel for 100,000 baht per day. Search Google for "motorbike for rent" and you will get a lot to choose from. Then we send an SMS to the number that appears. I repeat, send it as an SMS because the shop will copy and translate it in the translate system. If you call, you won't be able to communicate. There are more gas stations than minimarts. For accommodation, I recommend the Tam Coc area. It is very lively and close to important tourist attractions. But if you plan to go to Hang Mua Cave, staying at Mua Caves Ecolodge is a good choice because there is no entrance fee to Hang Mua. The accommodation is quite beautiful, inexpensive, and very peaceful. But it is far from the city. There are no restaurants around because the hotel is in the middle of the mountain. The hotel restaurant closes at 7 pm. The pictures posted are just some of the places. I didn't post all of them. I want you to come and see with your own eyes. It is much more beautiful than in the pictures.

#passionpassport Hiking to the highest peak at Mua Cave (also known as Hang Mua) is one of the best things to do in Ninh Binh! The cave itself is not that spectacular but it’s the incredible 360-degree views from the Hang Mua viewpoint that make this a very popular place to visit. Mua Cave is located 5km north of Tam Coc village center in the Ninh Binh region. It’s approximately a 10-minute ride on a scooter from the town center to reach the entrance to Mua Cave. A scooter rental costs around 100,000 VND per day, or you can rent a bicycle which costs half the price. #passionpassport #beautifuldestinations #travelinspiration
