Tam Coc (Ninh Binh), located  about 100km south of Hanoi is one of Vietnam's spectacular tourist attractions. With its hundreds of limestone cliffs emerging from the ground scattered across the rice fields, this region is appropriately nicknamed the “Halong Bay in land”.

In the spring, Tam Coc embodies a vast green color of rice fields along the two sides of the river, creating a poetic and majestic setting. Take a boat ride on the poetic Ngo Dong river, through the limestone mountains, you can see the charming rice fields on both sides.

Thai Vi Temple-Ninh Binh
 
Should you feel adventurous climb up to Mua Cave (Hang Mua). Sitting on top of hill 500 steps above ground, this temple is both a challenge and a delight. While the temple is somewhat unimpressive, the views over Tam Coc are stunning. The climb is paved but steep in sections, so bring water and allow an hour return. Mua Cave is 5km from Ninh Binh and is a popular stop on Tam Coc tours.
