Thung Ui is popular with many tourists because of its beautiful scenery, reminiscent of historical dramas.
Thung Ui is located in Tay Hoa Lu ward ( Ninh Binh province), about 2 km from Bai Dinh Pagoda. With its secluded valley topography, surrounded by towering limestone mountains and a system of natural lakes, it possesses a pristine, tranquil beauty and rich scenic value.

Previously, Thung Ui was a little-known place. In recent years, with investment in the construction of cultural and spiritual structures such as the Altar of Heaven, Altar of Earth, Altar of Humanity, and some supporting facilities, it has gradually become a new highlight in the cultural and spiritual space of the ancient capital of Hoa Lu.
Thung Ui is gradually becoming a cultural and spiritual destination for locals and tourists.
Every year, on the 10th day of the 3rd lunar month, the Dan Kinh Thien Festival is solemnly held to commemorate the great contributions of King Dinh Tien Hoang, who successfully suppressed the 12 warlords and unified the country.
The festival includes traditional rituals such as processions, incense offerings, and sacrificial ceremonies, reflecting the principle of "drinking water, remembering the source," as well as cultural exchange activities between regions, contributing to affirming the unique historical and cultural values of Vietnam in general and Ninh Binh in particular.
Thung Ui is surrounded by majestic mountain ranges and a clear blue lake.
According to the Tourist Area Management Board, although not officially open to visitors yet, many tourists and photographers have returned to capture beautiful moments. Many people commented that the place has a pristine, tranquil beauty, lush greenery, cool lakes, and unique architecture, like a destination in a historical drama film.
Currently, the unit is urgently completing the final items, adding landscaping and flowers. Simultaneously, they are training and developing human resources to be ready to serve and welcome tourists to visit and experience this place.
Many tourists choose this place to capture beautiful photos.
In the near future, especially during the Lunar New Year, Thung Ui is expected to open regularly to visitors, promising to become an attractive destination. Besides sightseeing, visitors can also experience services such as renting traditional costumes, soaking their feet in herbal remedies, and experiencing the culture of various regions, especially the Muong ethnic culture in Ninh Binh.
Thung Ui Valley attracts tourists with its peaceful scenery.
Many travel agencies in the province have also quickly introduced short-day experiential tours during the Lunar New Year holiday such as Hoa Lu Ancient Capital - Bai Dinh - Thung Ui, Thung Ui - Tam Coc - Mua Cave; Thung Ui - Trang An with attractive and discounted ticket prices.
In 2026, Ninh Binh aims to welcome 20 million tourists, including 3 million international visitors. The development and revitalization of tourism products like Thung Ui not only contributes to diversifying the experiential spaces within the Trang An Scenic Landscape Complex but also creates additional stopping points, extends the length of stay, and increases tourist spending.
Thung Ui is expected to be a major tourist attraction during this year's Lunar New Year holiday.
Especially with the Lunar New Year approaching, when the demand for spring excursions, sightseeing, and exploring cultural and spiritual values is increasing, new destinations like Thung Ui are expected to become an important "piece" in the Ninh Binh tourism picture, offering visitors a meaningful spring trip and pilgrimage.
