500 steps, million-dollar view, zero regrets (Source: Internet)Only 90 km south of Hanoi, Ninh Binh is Vietnam’s most spectacular karst landscape: emerald rivers winding between towering limestone peaks, ancient temples hidden in caves, and golden rice fields that change color with the seasons. Often called “Halong Bay on land,” it offers the perfect mix of gentle adventure and deep cultural immersion — all in a peaceful, uncrowded setting.
