Cong told Nobletours.net that he had taken photos of lotus in many places in Vietnam and that Ninh Binh lotus left a deep impression on him. He caught a late bus from Hanoi, checked in at 9:30 p.m. and at this time, even though it was dark, the view of the lotus lake was still very beautiful. Lotus has a light pink color, has a rustic look, familiar to Vietnamese people. The young photographer shared that because he knew the lotus would bloom in the morning and gradually wither in the afternoon, he took advantage of the early time of the day, from 5:30 to 7:00, to capture the moment he wanted.
At this time, the sun has just risen, the light is just enough, it’s so beautiful. Most of the lotus ponds are planted and cared for by people, concentrated in Van Long wetland nature reserves, Tam Coc Ninh Binh and Bich Dong pagoda. In some places, wooden bridges are set up in the middle of the lagoon for visitors to walk around and take photos. Lotus season lasts from late May to early July.

There is a place nestled at the foot of the mountain, the scenery is like a painting. 9X photographer chose a homestay inside the Mua Cave tourist area to conveniently visit Mua Cave and the pond. Rot (another name for Cong) said, the plus point when staying here is that you don’t have to spend 100,000 VND to buy a ticket to enter Mua Cave.
