Ninh Binh's Idyll ❤️

After Halong Bay, we headed to Ninh Binh for almost 4 hours by ordinary bus. We have no choice but to sit on the low chairs situated on the aisle of the bus full of locals. Twas like the last bus to Ninh Binh so other passengers were even standing and jostled against each other. It was a fun ride, tho. We didn't plan for our next destination, obviously, so we didn't book ahead. Anyways, we made our way to Ninh Binh. The refreshing scenery of this place erased the hassle we encountered to get here. For people like me who love green shades, this is paradise for us. On our first day, we went to Tam Coc - Bich Dong, where our guide rowed us, using his feet, along the river from the bracing village of Ván Lám, through the luxuriant rice fields and limestone karsts, through the three natural caves. Exploring their restaurants here is unstoppable because their food is my palate's favorite, so on the second day we had a long walk to see more beauties this city has to offer and of course to use the extra 'energy' we gain. You shouldn't leave this place without trying their massage. #vietnam #tamcoc #bichdongpagoda #ninhbinh
