LookAtVietnam – Ninh Binh, the glorious citadel of Dai Co Viet, has been stamped with the footprints of 42 years of sovereign of dynasties, Dinh, Le, Pre-Le and Ly.

Tourists cruise the Trang An-Bai Dinh tourist complex in Ninh Binh province.

The site is also home to many wild creatures and plants. Each cave has its own beauty with many stalactites in a profusion of colors. Once touring Trang An, travelers surely will get lost in a land of myth and fantasy to leave behind daily stresses and worries.

At the site, one-day tours are available for VND60,000 per person to take a cruise to the caves. Two-day tours allow time to visit the ancient Bai Dinh Pagoda of the Ly Dynasty, which dates back 1,000 years, and to admire the new
