If you are planning to travel to Ninh Binh on September 2nd, do not miss the opportunity to experience a boat trip to explore Trang An Scenic Landscape Complex - a UNESCO World Cultural and Natural Heritage. In early September, the weather turns slightly to autumn, the gentle golden sunlight covers the blue water surface, making the scenery here as beautiful as a vivid ink painting.

On a small bamboo boat, you will be taken by experienced boatmen across the crystal clear water, where you can see the moss at the bottom. The journey takes you through a system of magical limestone caves with evocative names such as Sang Cave, Toi Cave, Nau Ruou Cave… Each cave opens up a new picture: sometimes it is a vast valley of water, sometimes it is ancient temples such as Trinh Temple, Khong Palace, Tran Temple hidden at the foot of the mountain.

Coming to Trang An at this time, visitors not only enjoy the magnificent natural scenery but also feel the peace and tranquility typical of autumn in the North.

If you choose to travel to Ninh Binh on September 2nd, the journey on a bamboo boat in Tam Coc will certainly be an unforgettable experience. The boat takes visitors gently drifting on the winding Ngo Dong River, passing through three fascinating caves (Hang Ca, Hang Hai, Hang Ba) and along the rice fields that are starting to turn yellow in autumn. The scenery here is both peaceful and poetic, reminiscent of the peaceful Northern countryside in landscape paintings.

After finishing the boat trip, don't miss the opportunity to visit Bich Dong Pagoda - an ancient pagoda known as "Nam Thien De Nhi Dong". The pagoda complex consists of three floors (Ha, Trung, Thuong) hidden in the limestone mountains, providing both a peaceful spiritual space and a panoramic view of the Tam Coc fields glowing yellow under the early autumn sunlight. This is also an ideal Ninh Binh check-in spot for the holidays, when the weather is cool and the natural scenery is at its most beautiful of the year.

3. Conquering Hang Mua

If you are planning to travel to Ninh Binh on September 2nd and love exploring activities combined with physical training, Hang Mua is the ideal stop. The journey to conquer nearly 500 stone steps may make you a bit "physically challenged", but the scenery you get in return will definitely satisfy you.

From the top of Ngoa Long Mountain, a beautiful natural picture opens before your eyes: the Ngo Dong River meanders through the golden rice fields at the end of the season, embracing the majestic limestone mountains. In early September, the mild weather and golden sunlight make the scene even more charming, especially suitable for admiring and capturing impressive moments.

Hang Mua is also one of the most famous “check-in” coordinates in Ninh Binh, especially at the majestic stone dragon statue on the top of the mountain. The moment of standing in the middle of the vast space, breathing in the cool breeze and watching the whole view of Tam Coc at dawn or dusk will be an unforgettable experience during your trip.

4. Visit Bai Dinh Pagoda

Bai Dinh Pagoda is a huge spiritual complex with many established records. Although it was recently built and expanded, the new Bai Dinh Pagoda area makes a strong impression with its massive scale, majestic architecture with large bronze Buddha statues, large bells, long La Han corridors...
Besides, the ancient pagoda located on the mountain still retains its ancient and peaceful features. Coming to Bai Dinh on the occasion of September 2nd, you will feel the solemn spiritual atmosphere, but you also need to prepare yourself for the crowd. Taking the electric car in the pagoda grounds is necessary to save energy to explore all the works.

5. Experience cycling and visiting the bird garden

Or you can go to Thung Nham Bird Garden, especially in the late afternoon, to take a boat and admire thousands of birds of all kinds flying back to their nests, creating an extremely impressive natural scene.

Ninh Binh on September 2nd holiday brings a wonderful blend of majestic natural beauty, profound historical and cultural values and unique culinary experiences. Although the number of visitors may be larger than usual, with proper preparation and planning, you can fully enjoy the beauty and peace of the ancient capital.
