Small traditional boats sail between limestone lobsters, green rice paddies and inconspicuous pagodas on the slopes of steep cliffs. Such is Ninh Binh. A tiny area that is covered in beautiful karst formations and also has Vietnamese history indelibly written in it.
Ninh Binh is only 100 kilometres from Hanoi and yet a trip here is like a trip to another world. Stay in a family-run guesthouse in the countryside, rent a bike and set off to discover this landscape full of beautiful scenery and friendly locals.
