[2025 Hoa Lu District Attraction] Travel Guide for Di sản Tràng An - Ninh Bình (Updated Jul)

#summervacay Trang An is a UNESCO-listed gem that left me speechless. The boat tour through its caves, rivers, and towering cliffs is quiet, scenic, and deeply immersive. In summer, everything is vividly green and bursting with life. The caves were cool and mysterious, and the temples scattered along the way gave a sacred feel. It’s one of those places that makes you appreciate the beauty and spiritual serenity of Vietnam.

The "Trang An Ecological Reserve" has a magnificent karst topography, waterways and ancient temple ruins. Take a hand-cranked boat and move leisurely in the green waterway, as if you have traveled through the history and nature of Vietnam. 🛶 Tour highlights: The boat is hand-cranked by local boatmen throughout the journey, and the journey takes about 2.5 to 3 hours, passing through caves, streams and historical sites. Passing through many natural stalactite caves, such as Sáng Cave, Tối Cave, and Nấu Rượu Cave, the moment you lower your head into the cave is full of mystery. Go ashore to visit ancient temples and the filming location of the movie "King Kong: Skull Island". 📸 Photo recommendation: The light and shadows at the moment of passing through the cave exit are beautiful. When rowing, the strange rocks on both sides are a must-see background. The ancient temples, stone steps and reflections by the water are all suitable for taking tranquil landscape photos. Wearing light-colored clothing or traditional Ao Dai can better highlight the natural background. 📝 Tips: It is recommended to avoid the midday sun. The boat trip is not short, it is recommended to wear comfortable clothes, and bring a hat or rain gear to prevent sudden weather changes. The boat fee is included in the entrance ticket, and you can choose different routes (mostly 3 routes are open in rotation). #Vietnam Travel #Ningping Must Visit #Trang An Ecological Landscape Area #TràngAn #World Heritage #Vietnam Boating #Ningping Secrets #Natural and Cultural Heritage #Vietnam Free Travel Recommendations #Vietnam Attractions #May Good Places 2025

One of the best experiences. Must VISIT, the 2 hour boat ride, hats off to the guys who row with the feet for continuous 2 hours non stop in the lazing heat..seriously commendable 👏🏼#travel #thingstodo #vietnam #ninhbinh #asia

📍Address: Trang An (Di Sản Tràng An) => if you search on google map, I recommend searching for the phrase in the bracket. About 2 hour drive from Hanoi. Car parking fee applied at the area (but I don't remember the price... sorry 🥲) 💰Entrance/Boat tour price: 150,000vnd (about £14-15 depends on the currency exchange rate). This will cover you to choose 1 from 4 boat routes. ✨️Suggested boat route: Depends on your purpose, route 1 is more of a culture route. it is the longest route and takes you through many temples and caves. You will also have a chance to get off the boat to climb abit through the mountains (not all to the top) to reach an old temple. Route 3 and 4 are shorter but more for nice photos and Instagram post. I went for route 1 this time, it's a nice route for culture explore (but of course I didn't get chance to take the iconic Instagram photo) I haven't tried route 2 yet... If you have please comment 😊 🏖️Time to go: I went around March, which is the off-peak time for holiday. The weather is nice, and I went in in the morning so it's not too sunny. The weather is cool with nice breeze. 📍Adjacent area that worth visiting: Hoa Lu old town and if you still have time then try Tam Coc Bich Dong 📸Photo spots: anywhere along the boat tour route, the sceneries are stunning 🍴Food to try: Duc De Restaurant (there are 2 branches in Ninh Binh) => suitable for family meal lunch or dinner. Recommend to try their steam goat meat and scorched rice with special soup (I dont think they have English menu but we can all use google translate :v) Mien Luon ba Phan (Miến Lươn bà Phấn): I recommend try the phrase in bracket for correct location on google map. breakfast restaurant but open kinna all day from 5am to 8pm. only has 3 options of eel glass noodle, eel eggnoodle or eel porridge, all are delicious, I prefer eel porridge. regular bowl is 60,000vnd (about £1.75) and large bowl is 80,000 (about £2.5) We went for a day trip so I couldn't recommend accommodation

Vietnam, you have my heart! From the vibrant streets of Ho Chi Minh, to the chill beach vibes in Nha Trang, the charm of Da Nang, and the culture-rich corners of Hanoi every stop had its own magic. I cruised through the stunning Halong Bay, soaked in the views, and even tried the iconic Vietnamese egg coffee (surprisingly delicious!). So many memories, flavors, and feels already dreaming of my next trip back! 😍 #travel #staycation #localfood

Hanoi, Vietnam is attractive on its own, but if you go a little further out, you can experience a new Vietnam. Not only Sapa, which became famous through TV, but also Chang An and Ninh Binh to the south are attractive. In Chang An Ninh Binh, you can take a small boat like Ha Long Bay to experience caves and various cliffs, and you can also climb a rock mountain to see the scenery of the Vietnamese countryside. If you want to get away from the smoky Hanoi city for a while, I recommend the Chang An Ninh Binh day tour. #AustraliaFlightEvent

Ninh Binh - a place with many memories

The cave was small, so the boat wasn't that big!! But the experience of riding a traditional boat on a calm river and passing through the rocky cliffs and green nature was impressive in itself, and especially when passing through the cave, there were places so low that I had to bow my head, so it was thrilling but exciting. It was a bit thrilling, and I saw bats inside the cave too lol. It was a new experience. #February Travel Support Grant Event

#chillandthrill Exploring Trang An in Ninh Bình, Vietnam, was an unforgettable experience! This UNESCO World Heritage site is renowned for its stunning limestone karsts, caves, and temples. The boat tour, which costs approximately 250,000 VND (around $11) per person, offers a serene journey through caves like Ba Giot and Seo, and visits historical sites such as Trinh Temple.  The boat ride lasts about two hours, and each boat can accommodate up to four people. Children under 1 meter in height can join for free, while those between 1 and 1.3 meters pay a reduced fare of 120,000 VND.  After the boat tour, I visited the nearby Hoa Lư Ancient Capital, the former capital of Vietnam, which is rich in history and offers a glimpse into the country’s past.  Trang An’s natural beauty and cultural significance make it a must-visit destination for travelers seeking a blend of adventure and history. #TrangAn #NinhBinh #VietnamTravel #BoatTour #LimestoneKarsts #UNESCOWorldHeritage

Trang An is a UNESCO World Heritage Site located in Ninh Binh Province, Vietnam, and is a beautiful scenic spot where nature and culture blend together. As we went down the river by boat, we passed through caves, and the nature was magnificent and I was very impressed✨ When you get off the boat, don't forget to give a tip to the person who rowed you♪ [Name] Di sản Tràng An [Location] Tràng An, Hoa Lư District, Ninh Bình 430000 Vietnam #0 yen travel autumn #Vietnam trip #Vietnam tourism #overseas travel

Coming to Trang An, the most interesting thing is to immerse yourself in nature, with fresh air and quiet space. Domestic and foreign tourists are satisfied by the close, wild and harmonious beauty of nature here. The air here is extremely fresh, leaving the urban area for a while, just floating on the Trang An river to feel the atmosphere has a very pleasant feeling. #awesomepic #awesomepic #trip
