Vietnam is getting more known as a popular tourist destination nowadays; travel to Vietnam is safe and fairly easy for the independent travelers as well as for those in group travel. For those who make their Vietnam holidays with a big family or with kids, then it is necessary to have good trip planning before departure...

Why Ninh Binh for your family trip?

For every detail of a family vacation, then a local travel agent or tour operator in Vietnam would surely be able to help you out; in this article, I will only make a recommendation of an attraction that your family may benefit more on your tour through the country. The gem I wanted to tell you more about here is Ninh Binh Province, a backwater separated from the hustle and bustle of urban life by stretches of limestone mountains, by vast stretches of rice paddies, by series of ponds and lakes and rivers... This sounds like a far-flung place in Vietnam, but it is only a 2-hour drive from Hanoi. Definitely, there are more compelling reasons than just the convenient location, that your family should travel to this backwater...

 Located in the Red River Delta, Ninh Binh possesses the rice fields stretching to the horizon. Amid the sea of rice at Ninh Binh, there are myriads outcrops and limestone mountains which create a system of enclosed valleys.

2/ Amazing seasons in Ninh Binh, the best time to visit Ninh Binh

Ninh Binh is especially stunning in spring (March, April), in autumn (August-November) and when the rice fields turn into golden colors (late May-June, October-November). Travel to Ninh Binh in spring time, you will see the misty and endless green rice fields with imposing limestone mountains in the background, and dotted in the beauty are white conical hats of local farmers tilling their fields... Lots of Vietnamese photographers would make their trips to Ninh Binh at this time of the year.

In autumn time, Ninh Binh is more like a painting with somewhat melancholy... The sky is blue, while the mountains and trees are starting to show the withered colors. It is foggy and chilly in the morning and in late afternoon; down the rivers, fishing boats drift lazily along the current... Life seems to come to still in Ninh Binh in autumn, which makes it the favorite time for local artists and poets to hang around...
