In this video, we take you to Ninh Binh, one of the most underrated places in Vietnam — often called “Halong Bay on Land.” We give you a raw and authentic tour of this incredible region, surrounded by dramatic limestone mountains, winding rivers, and lush green rice fields. We explore some of Ninh Binh’s most famous spots, including Hang Mua (Mua Cave), where we climb 500 steps to reach an unreal panoramic viewpoint overlooking the valley below. We also visit Trang An, taking a peaceful boat ride through rivers, caves, and limestone formations, one of the most beautiful landscapes in Vietnam. We spend time exploring Ninh Binh town, checking out the local nightlife, food, and atmosphere after dark. For our stay, we chose a local homestay nestled right between the limestone mountains and nature, giving us a real taste of local life. We stayed at Ninh Binh Blue Garden Homestay, surrounded by nature and welcomed by friendly locals. If you’re planning a trip to Vietnam or looking for places beyond the usual tourist trail, Ninh Binh is a must-visit. From stunning viewpoints to boat rides, countryside vibes, and local experiences — this place truly has it all. ☕️ - If you want to support us: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/glenandmado Trusted House sitters (25% discount on your membership) - https://www.trustedhousesitters.com/refer/RAF73975/?utm_source=copy-link&utm_medium=refer-a-friend&utm_campaign=refer-a-friend.
