Why it works for a stay in Ninh Binh

Water and rock define Ninh Binh's scenery, and a lakeside bungalow puts you right in it, with reflections of the peaks in the still water at dawn.

Gardens give space for quiet mornings, meditation or simply a coffee before setting off to explore. The famous boat trips at Tam Coc and Trang An, and the climb up Hang Mua, are all within reach.

For birdwatchers, Thung Nham bird park and the Van Long wetland reserve are rewarding, with herons, egrets and, at Van Long, a chance of spotting rare Delacour's langurs on the cliffs.

Evenings are quiet in the countryside, with the sound of frogs and insects, and a sky full of stars on clear nights.

Ninh Binh's history runs deep: in the 10th century, Hoa Lu was the capital of Dai Co Viet, an early Vietnamese state, and its temples still honour the kings who ruled from here. A short ride from the countryside, they make a calm, atmospheric visit, especially in the late afternoon when the tour groups have gone.
