Ninh Binh, located in the Red River Delta, was once the capital of the Dinh, Pre-Le, and Ly dynasties. It boasts two areas of heritage and a biosphere reserve, making it a potential tourism hotspot. Particularly notable is the Trang An landscape complex, often called "Halong Bay on land," due to its mountains, limestone cliffs, and dense forests. Visitors are captivated by stunning vistas of mountain ranges, winding rivers, and pristine valleys. Along the river routes, tourists can explore caves such as Fairy Cave, Ba Co Cave, Medicine Cave, and Buddha Cave.
