“Below is my review posted on TripAdvisor ============== Ninh Binh is definitely worth visiting. Its scenery is breathtaking. I have to agree with the phrase “Ninh Binh is Ha Long Bay on land”.

He walked us through Ninh Binh’s history of being the capital city of Vietnam for some 43 years, through 2 dynasties. My highlight was the 1.5 hour boat ride with scenic views rival Ha Long Bay.
