Forbes selects 23 most beautiful destinations in the world, Vietnam representative is present

Tam Coc Bich Dong is a large landscape area, featuring limestone caves and villages, and the peaceful Ngo Dong River.

Ninh Binh in Vietnam is honored to be on the list. The destination was chosen by San Francisco-based Catarina Mello, a world-renowned travel content creator, photographer, entrepreneur, and award-winning online educator . Since leaving the office and trading her digital marketing career at Google for the life of a travel content creator, Mello has grown her social media following to over 800,000.

Ninh Binh faces fierce competition from other well-known destinations in the region, especially Ha Long Bay, and is often referred to as one of Asia's most beautiful hidden gems. "However, this place is increasingly popular on social media, so Ninh Binh will not be a hidden gem for too long. Come to Ninh Binh when it offers visitors the most authentic experiences of Northern Vietnam."

Fun fact: Ninh Binh was the filming location for the 2016 film Kong: Skull Island. What Mello loves about the area is that it’s just a two-hour drive from the bustling capital of Hanoi. Ninh Binh is a stunning location with its massive limestone mountains, lush valleys, miles of rice paddies, and winding rivers. “It’s so beautiful you’ll fall in love with it,” Mello writes.

Visitors can spend the day cycling through rice paddies, climbing limestone mountains for scenic views, visiting pagodas, cruising through the stunning countryside and passing through caves on a rowboat. For this reason, it is nicknamed “Halong Bay on land”.

Remember not to miss Ninh Binh specialties: mountain goat meat, the most famous of which are goat blood pudding, five-spice grilled goat meat and steamed goat meat with ginger.
