Ninh Binh – Vietnam’s Ancient Capital in Northen Vietnam

Far too few travellers make it to Ninh Binh province of Vietnam, a mesmerizing area known locally as ‘Hạ Long Bay on Land’ thanks to its magical riverine landscape, with sheer limestone mountains rising up from the paddies. The best way to get a sense of this UNESCO-protected site is by taking a paddleboat tour along its shimmering rivers, and climbing to the top of its fabled peaks.
