When you arrive in Ninh Binh, Vietnam, there are 4 famous tourist attractions. Tam Coc, Trang An, Hang Mua, Bai Dinh Temple. Usually, you have to take public transportation or rent a scooter to get to other tourist attractions, but you can walk to Hang Mua. These are photos I took while walking. The roads in downtown Ninh Binh are wider and in good condition compared to other cities. It is a quiet city, so it is a good place to ride a scooter. It takes an hour and 30 minutes to walk from downtown to Hang Mua. And if you walk for about 40 minutes, you can see the countryside as shown in the photo. Hang Mua is a place to go to see the observatory rather than the cave. If you climb the numerous stone steps, you will reach the top. From here, you can see the city of Ninh Binh if you look straight ahead, and you can see part of the Tam Coc landscape if you look back. I recommend going to Hang Mua before visiting Tam Coc or Trang An. #HawaiiFlightEvent

yes, we almost didn't go Mua Cave itself! we just followed the crowd to climb up the stairs to the top, not realizing that it is not mua cave! - the lotus ponds are very #instagrammable - the view from the mountain top is very nice - yes, the climbing worth it! Mua Cave is about 100m beside and at least 90% of the visitors did not go there. I understand why because it is underwhelming comparively. #muacave #muacaves #ninhbinh #cave

#favouriteitinerary I started my morning hike up Hang Mua as the sky slowly brightened. The climb was challenging, but reaching the top just in time for sunrise made it all worthwhile. Golden light spread over Tam Coc’s limestone peaks, creating a breathtaking view. The cool breeze and peaceful atmosphere made it a perfect start to the day. 📍Address: Hang Mua, Ninh Binh Difficulty: 4/10 Average time to reach the peak: 30 minutes #sunrise #hike

Day trip from Hanoi to ninh minh. Beautiful old city to visit. The river boat is a must.

#AugustDestinations2024 #100TravelWays #NaturalLandscapes I think it's a must do if you're in the area. I recommend going early to avoid the crowds. You can see two peaks, one higher and better than the other. There are 500 steps leading to the top of the highest point, all of varying sizes and heights, making the climb a fun, sweaty affair. The view from the top was amazing and worth it as we rushed to see the sunset

Hang Mua Cave This place has a lot of stairs and steep slopes, making your legs very tired. However, the scenery is magnificent. The pagoda at the top of the mountain is particularly impressive. At the highest peak, there is a dragon sculpture, and from there, you can overlook Tam Coc. On the way down from the summit, there is a lotus field near the exit, giving you the feeling of being in a paradise. It's a great spot for taking photos, so make sure to come down before it gets too late. There are many mosquitoes, so it's advisable to bring mosquito repellent.

I'm over 50 and skinny, but I finished climbing the right peak of Hangmu Cave~~ I didn't get to the left dragon~~ but the view is amazing. It was better than I thought Don't be afraid and try it

This is Hang Mua in Ninh Binh, a small city next to Hanoi. It is difficult to climb, but the view is incomparable. You can see everything and come down in about an hour, so I recommend everyone to go there at least once.

I visited Hang Mua, one of the must-see courses in Ninh Binh. The stairs were so steep and the sun was so strong that I wondered if I could climb it, but the view from the top was so beautiful. However, the rocks at the top are sharp and slippery, so I think you should be careful. If you go to Ninh Binh, I strongly recommend going up there and seeing it. #VietnamTravel

Hang Mua Cave in Ninh Binh, located 2 hours away from Hanoi! Since it is close to Hanoi, many people visit it as a day trip. There are many tourist attractions in Ninh Binh, but the best one is Hang Mua, where you can see a 360-degree view of the beautiful natural scenery! It is a bit difficult because you have to climb 500 steep stairs,,, but it is worth it! On the other hand, it is better to avoid the time when the sunlight is the strongest. I recommend going early in the morning or at sunset, but I personally recommend going early in the morning because it is located in a place where the sunset is well hidden. How to get there Apply for a tour or rent a motorbike Entrance fee 100,000 dong Time 6:00 or 7:00 am - 7:00 pm #Vietnam travel #Hot place #Vietnam Ninh Binh #Ninh Binh
