There is no shortage of natural beauty in Vietnam, and the landscape is as diverse as the people. Whether you are visiting the mountainous North, the Central coastal region, or the rural waterways of the South, you'll find inspiring nature destinations in Vietnam.

Ninh Binh

The North

Affectionately known as the ‘Halong Bay of the Land,’ Ninh Binh is quickly becoming as much of a travel favorite as the stunning UNESCO World Heritage Site. Located just a few hours southeast of Hanoi by road or train, this stunningly beautiful destination makes for a perfect overnight trip from the capital.

Spend a few days in the company of the water buffalo and white herons in Ninh Binh's rice paddies, amidst the rugged limestone hills, and imagine a time not quite forgotten in rural Vietnam. Life is simple here and it is impossible not to relax in such tranquil natural surrounds.

Take a boat trip through the paddies to soak in the stunning views up-close. You’ll pass beside and through these jungle-clad karsts as the river cuts tunnels underneath the soft stone. Raw and awe-inspiring nature is never far away in Ninh Binh.
