On the second day, you will cycle to Trang An, a UNESCO World Heritage Site with winding rivers through limestone mountains. With a more leisurely schedule, you can deeply experience the natural beauty and unique culture of Ninh Binh that a short trip cannot provide. Scroll down to see the detailed itinerary!
