Frequently asked questions
About Ninh Binh
Ninh Binh is a province in northern Vietnam known for its stunning natural landscapes, including limestone karsts and lush greenery. The currency used in Vietnam is the Vietnamese Dong. Ninh Binh is often referred to as the 'Halong Bay on land' due to its similar karst formations and scenic beauty. Visitors can explore the Trang An Grottoes, Tam Coc River, and Bai Dinh Pagoda in Ninh Binh. The province is also famous for its traditional villages and rice paddies, offering a glimpse into rural Vietnamese life.
When to visit
The best time to visit Ninh Binh is during the dry season from November to April when the weather is cool and pleasant. Avoid visiting during the rainy season from May to October as heavy rainfall can disrupt outdoor activities. Spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) are ideal for exploring Ninh Binh's natural attractions and enjoying boat rides along the rivers. Summer can be hot and humid, so be prepared for high temperatures if visiting during this time.
Getting around
Getting around Ninh Binh is relatively easy with options like motorbike rentals, bicycles, and taxis. Many attractions are within a short distance of each other, making it convenient to explore the area on two wheels. Boat tours are popular for visiting sites like Tam Coc and Trang An, offering a unique perspective of the karst landscapes. Local buses and private car hires are also available for longer journeys within the province.
Traveller tips
Wear comfortable shoes for exploring Ninh Binh's natural sites on foot. Carry sufficient cash as credit cards may not be accepted everywhere. Respect local customs and traditions, especially when visiting temples and pagodas. Stay hydrated and use sunscreen to protect against the sun's rays. Try local dishes like 'com chay' (burned rice) and 'goi nhech' (fish salad) for an authentic culinary experience.
