Description
Ninh Binh- the land of ancient capital. Viet Nam.More than 90 km south of Hanoi, Ninh Binh is a province with rich tourist potential. The splendid natural scenery of Trang An, Tam Coc and Bich Dong, the stone cathedral of Phat Diem, and the forest of Cuc Phuong are among the attractions of this beautiful land which was the capital of Vietnam a thousand years ago.Ninh Binh is surrounded by mountains of limestone as strong as a fortress wall. It is probably for this reason that the Dinh, Le and Ly dynasties choose Ninh Binh for their capitals from 968 to 1010. Hoa Lu, the capital was called "the capital built of stone" by local people. Located at the center, Hoa Lu holds the remnants of wars against foreign invaders and a multitude of temples, shrines, and pagodas.
