As the afternoon sun began to cast a golden hue over the limestone mountains, we arrived at Tam Coc boat dock at 1:30 PM, ready for a fantastic journey on the Ngo Dong River. Tam Coc, also known as the “three caves,” is renowned for its pristine and majestic natural scenery, where the beauty of mountains and waters blends into a vivid watercolor painting.

A Tranquil Journey

Our journey on the Ngo Dong River began. The small boat gently glided over the emerald waters of Ngo Dong River, taking us into another world – a world of serene and peaceful nature. Gentle waves lapped against the boat, creating a soothing sound like a mother’s lullaby. On either side of the river, endless golden rice fields stretched out, imparting a sense of calm and tranquility.

We were immersed in the quiet space, our eyes taking in the majestic mountain scenery and white storks soaring in the blue sky. The fragrant scent of ripe rice mingled with the breeze, combined with the gentle sound of flowing water, creating an enchanting natural symphony.

The Mystical Caves of Tam Coc

Tam Coc includes three main caves: Hang Ca, Hang Hai, and Hang Ba. Each cave possesses a mysterious and magical beauty, making us feel as if we had stepped into a fairy tale world.

Exploring the Enchanting Hang Ca, Hang Hai, and Hang Ba

Hang Ca is the first and largest of the three caves. As the boat entered the cave, we marveled at the glittering stalactites, forming unique and magical shapes. Light from outside streamed in, creating sparkling beams that reflected off the water’s surface, making the cave’s interior appear enchanting and heartbreakingly beautiful.

Continuing our journey, we reached Hang Hai and Hang Ba. These caves are smaller but equally fascinating. The scenery inside is crafted by stalactites and stalagmites of various shapes and sizes, like meticulously carved natural artworks formed over millions of years. Each stone formation carries a story, a legend, leaving us in awe and admiration.

Leaving the mysterious caves behind, we continued our journey along the river, where the natural landscape constantly changed, each viewpoint offering a fresh perspective. The towering mountains, steep cliffs, and lush or golden rice fields depending on the season, created a breathtaking panorama.

The local boatmen, with their skillful and flexible hands and feet, rowed the boat, guiding us through bends and twists in the river. Their artistry and expertise made us feel grateful, allowing us to fully enjoy the beauty of Tam Coc.

Returning to the boat dock, we felt like we had just experienced a beautiful dream. The pristine and majestic beauty of Tam Coc, the tranquil moments in serene nature, and the warm affection of the local people, all contributed to a wonderful and unforgettable journey.

After immersing ourselves in the fairy-tale scenery of Tam Coc, we continued our journey to Hang Mua—a must-visit destination in Ninh Binh. Hang Mua is known for having one of the most spectacular views in Ninh Binh, with its majestic landscape of vast waters and challenging stone steps. This is where nature and humans intertwine, creating a wonderful marvel that brought us unforgettable emotions.

We began our trek to conquer Hang Mua with enthusiasm and excitement. Hang Mua is famous for its over 500 stone steps, each step like a small challenge on the path to the mountain’s summit. These steps are built along the mountain’s slope, resembling a miniature version of the Great Wall of China.

Taking the first step, we felt the fresh and cool air, a stark contrast to the city’s noise. The higher we climbed, the broader the view became, with green rice fields and limestone mountains unfolding before us, making us forget the fatigue of the journey.

Upon reaching the summit, a stunning natural panorama unfolded before our eyes. From this height, we could see the entire Tam Coc and Ninh Binh city from a completely different perspective. At the foot of the mountain, the Ngo Dong River wound its way, with endless rice fields stretching out, creating a peaceful and poetic landscape.

Each view from the summit of Hang Mua left us in awe and amazement. The scenery resembled a vivid watercolor painting, with the green of the vegetation, the white of the clouds, and the gray of the limestone mountains. All these elements created a heartbreakingly beautiful landscape, making the exhaustion of the climb disappear.

Standing on the summit of Hang Mua, breathing in the fresh air, and gazing at the vast scenery, brought us a sense of peace and relaxation. This was a moment where all worries and fatigue of daily life seemed to vanish, leaving only a connection with nature and inner tranquility.

The summit of Hang Mua is also an ideal place to capture the most beautiful moments of the trip. We didn’t forget to take commemorative photos, capturing the best images of nature and ourselves. The photos taken from the summit of Hang Mua always possess a magical beauty, with the vast natural scenery and expansive views.

We left Hang Mua with beautiful memories and a deep appreciation for nature and the local people who have preserved these precious values. The journey to conquer Hang Mua will always be a wonderful part of our memories, a valuable treasure in life, helping us love and cherish the values of nature and life.
