Ninh Binh is cycling heaven. Here you will have chance to get insights into rural Vietnam on your bikes. The countryside is a living museum that gives you the opportunity to get some good shots of a villager catching fish by net, children swimming in the pond or playing kites near the rice field.

Ninh Binh province is famous for day trippers from the capital of Hanoi, and there are now high end properties which can satisfy even the most sophisticated travelers. Cycling gives you the amazing experience of the awesome natural wonder of what the area offers you. You will feel like you’re right there interacting and soaking in the magnificent beauty.
You can get to bike along a beautiful cycling trail embellished with temples, churches, and villages. Enjoy marvelling at breathtaking rural views and don’t forget to mingle with the locals too.

Then, cycle to Trang An. You’ll then cycle for an hour (about 8km) on a quiet, picturesque road passing through village, and rocky outcrops to our final destination of Bich Dong where we will stay in a hotel located in a quiet part of Bich Dong town with great view of the rice paddies and karsts.
