Ninh Binh Province is located approximately a two-hour drive from Hanoi. This area is renowned for Hoa Lu, the ancient capital of Vietnam during the Dinh Dynasty (968-980). Ninh Binh gained international fame as a filming location for the blockbuster movie "Kong: Skull Island," released in 2016, and continues to attract visitors for its breathtaking landscapes.
Travel + Leisure describes the Ninh Binh area as "the inland cousin of Ha Long Bay." Although it is scenically similar, it remains significantly smaller and experiences far fewer crowds, making it an appealing destination for travelers seeking natural beauty without the hustle and bustle.
