As you explore these historical landmarks, a local guide will share fascinating stories about the early foundations of Vietnam’s monarchy, adding depth and context to your experience.

Trang An Landscape Complex
The boat trip lasts around 1.5 hours, and as you glide through tranquil waters, you’ll marvel at the towering limestone peaks that rise from the jungle, creating a surreal atmosphere. Along the way, your boatman will guide you through caves and pass ancient pagodas nestled in remote corners of the landscape. The stunning scenery of Trang An has made it a popular filming location, including the famous Kong: Skull Island, and you’ll soon see why.

Mua Caves
Mua Cave is located on the foot of Mua Mountain, and the highlight of this visit is the climb to the top of the mountain, where you’ll be rewarded with panoramic views of the surrounding countryside. The ascent involves climbing a series of stone steps (around 500 steps), but the effort is more than worth it when you reach the summit. From here, you’ll have a breathtaking view of the lush green valley below, dotted with rice paddies, winding rivers, and the towering limestone peaks that Ninh Binh is famous for. The view from Mua Cave is often considered one of the best in the region, making it a perfect spot for photos and a peaceful moment of reflection.
