Climbing Núi Ngọa Long, or Lying Dragon Mountain, was one of the highlights of our trip to Ninh Bình. Be prepared—it’s a bit of a physical challenge, especially under the hot sun, but every step is worth it once you reach the top. The ascent involves about 500 steep stone steps, winding through dramatic limestone cliffs. Thankfully, you can take your time going up, and there are small makeshift drink stalls along the way offering cold water, coconuts, and other refreshments. Prices are understandably a bit higher due to the location, but very welcome when you need a break. Once at the summit, you’re rewarded with unmatched panoramic views of the surrounding valleys, rice fields, and winding rivers of Tam Cốc. The iconic dragon statue perched along the ridge adds to the charm and provides an incredible photo opportunity. It’s no surprise why this place is often called the “Great Wall of Vietnam.” Whether you’re into hiking, photography, or just soaking in nature’s beauty, Núi Ngọa Long is a must-visit. Just don’t forget your hat, sunscreen, and plenty of water! #summervacay #NuiNgoaLong #LyingDragonMountain #NinhBinhViews #TamCoc #VietnamTravel #StairwayToViews #ScenicHike #DragonMountain #HangMuaViewpoint #HiddenGemsVietnam #vietnam #vietnamtrip #ninhbinh #ninhbinhtrip

#springitinerary #travel #thingstodo Not all views are earned equally — but Viewpoint Đầm Sen Hang Múa? It demands your heart, legs, and camera. Tucked beside the famous Hang Múa Peak in Ninh Bình, this lesser-known viewpoint offers a gentler climb but no less wonder. Imagine a quiet lotus pond cradled by limestone karsts, with mist curling around the peaks at dawn. The scene feels like it’s been plucked from an ink painting — surreal, serene, unforgettable. Unlike the dragon staircase crowds, Đầm Sen’s path winds softly through nature, offering moments of stillness and sweeping views without the noise. It’s where you come not to conquer, but to connect. Travel Tip: Arrive early for golden hour light and fewer visitors. Bring water, wear proper shoes, and don’t rush — the beauty here lies in lingering. A softer, soulful detour from Hang Múa’s summit — and one you’ll remember long after the photos fade.

Just a few hours from Hanoi, Ninh Binh felt like stepping into a peaceful postcard. The day began with a visit to the historic King Temple in Hoa Lu, the former capital of Vietnam, where I explored ancient architecture and learned about the country’s early dynastic history. I continued with a cycling tour through scenic rural landscapes, passing lush greenery and striking limestone formations. A highlight of the trip was a peaceful boat ride in Trang An, where we cruised through a network of caves and emerald waterways, surrounded by towering karst cliffs. One of the most fascinating aspects was the boat rowers using their feet to paddle, a unique and skillful local tradition. The day concluded with a rewarding ascent to the summit of Mua Cave, where panoramic views of the valley below provided a stunning end to a truly enriching experience. Ninh Binh has it all: history, nature, and unforgettable views—all in one day. 📍Ninh Binh 🇻🇳 #รับส่วนลดไม่พึ่งดวง

yes, we almost didn't go Mua Cave itself! we just followed the crowd to climb up the stairs to the top, not realizing that it is not mua cave! - the lotus ponds are very #instagrammable - the view from the mountain top is very nice - yes, the climbing worth it! Mua Cave is about 100m beside and at least 90% of the visitors did not go there. I understand why because it is underwhelming comparively. #muacave #muacaves #ninhbinh #cave
