Best view in Ninh Binh, Vietnam

Nui Ngoa Long is located in Ninh Binh, northern Vietnam. Ninh Binh itself is a very popular tourist destination that is about 100km from Hanoi. From Hanoi, you can take a 2h bus ride to get to the city.

Amongst Ninh Binh’s attractions, Nui Ngoa Long is a famous attraction known for its great views. It is located together with Mua Cave which is also a popular attraction. To get to the top of Ngoa Long Mountain, one has to climb around 500 steps. At the top, there is a tower for photo-taking, though there is likely a queue for this.

Near the tower is a dragon sculpture which is the best spot for observing sunrise or sunset. Do note that there are no proper steps leading to the dragon, so you will have to stand on the ledges. Depending on the season and time, these ledges may be quite crowded (and somewhat dangerous) as well.

I visited during Tet (traditional Vietnamese new year) in February and there was quite a crowd at Nui Ngoa Long. Regardless, we enjoyed the great views and good weather.
