Let's yourself float on charming Ninh Binh

Beside popular destinations like Trang An or Tam Coc - Bich Dong, Ninh Binh is really a province of picturesque lakes and rivers. Let’s contemplate some pristine water beauty in Ninh Binh!

Van Long Lagoon

Van Long is the largest wetland nature reserve in the Northern Delta. This nature reserve is located in the northeast of Gia Vien district, Ninh Binh province. Van Long is known as "no wave bay" because when you go on a boat on the lagoon, visitors will see the water surface as a giant mirror with the very limpid water that you can see the bottom clearly. Floating on the small basket boat to explore the lagoon amidst the amazing rocky mountains, visitors can watch the abundance of aquatic species shivering under the clear water and storks flying over grass on the lake.

Especially, visitors will enjoy the feeling of discovering cool caves, and if you are lucky enough you may catch a Langur on branches.
