The serenity of Tam Coc and Trang An is often overlooked. It’s a concealed treasure in Vietnam. Plus, the peacefulness is unparalleled. I had the most enchanting experience there!

I couldn’t have said it more captivating myself! Ninh Binh truly is a concealed treasure in Vietnam.

@kaylin I completely agree with you there! I think the area around Tam Coc and Trang An is one of the most underrated destinations in all of Vietnam, and probably Asia as well.

I was in Ninh Binh, Vietnam and I agree it’s an underrated gem!

I went to Ha Long Bay as well and thought that Ninh Binh was much more beautiful. I also had an easier time getting there by train, which saved me lots of time and money.

One thing I’d say is that it’s not necessarily overlooked by travelers, but most travelers who visit don’t spend as much time there as they should. The area around Tam Coc and Trang An is absolutely beautiful, and quite unlike anywhere else in the world.

The Vietnamese language is largely mutually intelligible. People from different regions of Vietnam speak differently, but for the most part, people from North Vietnam are able to understand people from South Vietnam.

In Ninh Binh, the dialect is a mix of Northern and Southern dialects. It’s similar to Hanoi’s dialect in that it has a lot of “l” sounds (in contrast to the Southern dialect that uses “n” sounds).

Ninh Binh has a lot to offer: the beautiful Trang An limestone karsts, the spectacular Tam Coc cave system, the historic Mua Cave, and the ancient capital of Hoa Lu.
