Ninh Binh day trip to Thung Nang & Hoa Lu ancient capital

Being endowed with the beautiful landscapes of limestone mountain ranges & national park, Ninh Binh has recently become the top must-visited destination in Vietnam among travelers when making their trip to Northern Vietnam. Doing trips to Ninh Binh, most people choose to visit Trang An Ecotourism Complex or Tam Coc, which makes those places become quite touristy ( especially in the weekends after Vietnamese’s lunar new years, travelers have to stay on a long line waiting for the boat ride).
