Enjoy the golden season of Tam Coc

Lost in the midst of beautiful mountains and rivers

Famous for its majestic and poetic beauty, Ninh Binh's scenery always captivates many people. Besides Tam Coc - Bich Dong or Trang An, Hang Mua is a place not to be missed when visiting Ninh Binh.

Hang Mua is located in Ninh Xuan commune, Hoa Lu district; it possesses a beauty that few places have. On a hot summer day, our group of young people prepared enough mineral water, wore sneakers , and light clothes, ready to conquer the "stairways to heaven".

As soon as you enter the gate of Hang Mua tourist area, the white stone steps leading to the top of the mountain are clearly visible. More than 400 solid stone steps make Hang Mua even more mysterious.

From the mountainside, we watched the boats plowing through the waves, taking tourists to explore Tam Coc - Bich Dong below. The heart of a young wanderer like me could not help but be moved and touched. Ninh Binh in its golden season is like a cradle welcoming souls looking for a peaceful place, returning to their childhood dreams with boats, rivers, and fields, simple yet full of happiness.

With its beautiful cave system and rice fields, Tam Coc is an ideal place for visitors to hunt for satisfactory photos of the ripe rice season.

Amazed by the magnificent scenery

Tam Coc is located in Ninh Hai commune, Hoa Lu district; about 7 km from Ninh Binh city center. With a system of caves and beautiful rice fields, this is an ideal place for tourists to enjoy and hunt for satisfactory photos of the ripe rice season.

Tam Coc means "three caves": Hang Ca, Hang Hai and Hang Ba, with the gentle Ngo Dong River running through the mountains. The locals only grow one rice crop a year, so every late May - early June, tourists come to Tam Coc to see the brilliant golden rice fields amidst the mountains.

Facing the beautiful scenery, we could not help but experience a trip on the Ngo Dong River to share the joy of the boats carrying "gold". The shimmering rice fields welcomed us - people "in the same boat" who invited each other to the ancient capital to date with the golden season. Not only were the eyes filled with the colors of nature, anyone who came here was also intoxicated by the fragrant smell of ripe rice, the sweet honey that makes people infatuated and reluctant to leave.

I sat on the boat on a sunny morning, lost in thought with the golden silk before my eyes. The thoughtful limestone mountains cast their shadows on the blue water. No matter how many times I return here, I know I will hardly be able to restrain my emotions before this magnificent scene. So, while I can still travel on long roads, while I can still express my deep longing, I will visit Tam Coc more often. These trips, when we are still full of youth, are always invaluable provisions on our path to adulthood.

Even if in the future we young people have the opportunity to explore the four corners of the world, the beautiful images, imbued with the characteristics of our homeland, will forever be engraved in our minds. We travel to love our country and this colorful life even more.
