This New Year holiday, the new Ninh Binh is becoming a top choice thanks to its rare combination of the ancient capital’s cultural identity and international-standard services. For both domestic and international travellers, it is not only a destination close to Hanoi but also a place that preserves long-standing spiritual and historical values while showcasing the modern, professional image of a major tourism centre in Northern Vietnam.

Nature lovers can immerse themselves in the pristine beauty of Tràng An, UNESCO World Cultural and Natural Heritage, where caves, rivers, and limestone mountains create a breathtaking landscape. Alongside Tràng An are renowned ecological areas such as Tam Cốc – Bích Động, Vân Long, Cúc Phương, and Kênh Gà, where visitors can find peace and relaxation in the first days of the year.

For travellers seeking a rejuvenating retreat, a wide range of eco-resorts, hot springs, and lakeside or mountainside accommodations, expanded and upgraded after the merger—provide luxurious yet nature-friendly spaces. These are ideal for a 2–3 day energy-recharging getaway.

Spiritual and cultural tourism continues to be a standout strength. The Bái Đính Pagoda Complex, the Hoa Lư relics, Thái Vi Temple, Trần Temple, and heritage sites tied to the Đinh, Early Lê, Lý, and Trần dynasties form a sacred pilgrimage route rich in historical depth. After the merger, the cultural values of Hà Nam and Nam Định have further enriched the region’s rituals, traditions, and early-year visitor experiences.

Thanks to the harmony between heritage landscapes, international-standard accommodation, and an increasingly complete system of entertainment, dining, and visitor services, the new Ninh Binh is becoming the top choice for Hanoi residents seeking a high-quality, nearby getaway for the 2026 New Year holiday.

A short holiday, a refreshing start to the new year surrounded by majestic nature, deep cultural roots, and moments of pure relaxation, Ninh Binh is truly a destination worth returning to again and again.
