It is no coincidence that the Trang An Landscape Complex was recognized by UNESCO as Vietnam’s first mixed World Cultural and Natural Heritage Site. For international visitors, Trang An represents a perfect harmony between nature and history: majestic limestone mountains, gentle rivers winding through ancient caves, and the well-preserved traces of prehistoric Vietnamese life. As you drift along the river, gliding through nine caves, three rivers, and twenty valleys, it feels like traveling back in time touching the essence of an ancient civilization amid an enchanting, poetic landscape.

In the sacred valley of Ninh Binh lies Bai Dinh Pagoda, a destination where many travelers come not only to pray but to experience the tranquil spiritual energy of the East. The pagoda holds numerous Asian records, from the largest bronze Buddha statue, to the longest corridor of Arhats, and a 13-story, 100-meter-tall stupa. Each step taken up the pagoda’s stone pathways feels like an ascent toward serenity, where one can listen to the quiet voice within and rediscover peace amid the world’s noise.

The Daily Mail (UK) once ranked Tam Coc – Bich Dong among the top 10 most beautiful natural wonders in the world for those seeking a peaceful escape from the crowds. Each season in Tam Coc paints a different masterpiece, lush green in spring, golden rice fields in summer, and soft purple water lilies in autumn. This ever-changing scenery captivates foreign visitors, while experiences such as rowing boats with local people, watching the sunset over the Ngo Dong River, or tasting rustic Vietnamese countryside cuisine leave memories that linger long after the journey ends.

According to the latest statistics from TripAdvisor, Ninh Binh consistently ranks among the top 1% of the world’s most attractive destinations, with growing interest from travelers across Europe, the U.S., India, and South Korea. What draws visitors here is not only the breathtaking landscape but also the warmth of the locals, the professional services, and the way Ninh Binh preserves its heritage while embracing modern development. Travelers come and then return, not merely to see, but to feel the authentic Vietnamese spirit: simple, profound, and deeply human.

For international travelers, a journey to Vietnam would be incomplete without a visit to Ninh Binh. Here, Trang An tells stories of the past, Bai Dinh awakens the spirit, and Tam Coc captures the humble beauty of the present, all blending together into a magnificent symphony called “The Ancient Capital within the Heart of Heritage.”
