About this experience
More than 1000 years ago Ninh Binh used to be the capital of Vietnamese feudal dynasties. Currently, this place worships the kings who had the merit of unifying, developing and defending the country, ending more than 1000 years of Northern domination (Northern is a colony of the North - now the "People's Republic of China" ), overthrowing the plot to assimilate the Vietnamese people. Especially, Ninh Binh has Trang An scenic spot which has been recognized by UNESCO as a world cultural heritage and also a world natural heritage. The final destination of the journey is the Mua cave. Here you will pass more than 500 stone steps to reach the top of the mountain, enjoy a rare moment of peace, watch the rice fields stretch, scattered around are the houses of the local people, glimmering behind the hazy kitchen smoke, in the distance are limestone mountains more than 1 million years old, with your companions waiting for the sunset to fall, this is the right time to take commemorative photos.
