It is not difficult to explain why the natural scenery where Tam Coc Ninh Binh is favored by tourists is called “Ha Long Bay on land”. The immense rolling limestone cliffs make people immediately think of the bay that has entered the UNESCO record. But the difference is that underneath those limestone outcrops, it is not the sea but the plains planted with straight wings of storks, dotted by a charming winding river.
Tam Coc Ninh Binh literally means “three caves”, including Ca cave, Hai cave and Ba cave. All three caves are formed by the Ngo Dong River crashing through the mountain. So when coming to Tam Coc, visitors will take a boat ride from the central wharf and through the rice fields straight to the wings.
In particular, the time when Tam Coc Ninh Binh is most brilliant is when the rice season is ripe. At this time, the green and yellow rice fields are blooming, creating a beautiful picture of the countryside, bringing a feeling of abundance, warmth and serenity.
