🌿✨ Bich Dong Pagoda – Ninh Binh Hidden Gem ✨

📍 Location
Just 2 km from Tam Coc, surrounded by limestone mountains and lush rice fields. A peaceful spot that feels straight out of a movie. 🚲🌾

🛕 The Levels
• Lower Pagoda (Ha Pagoda): Right at the entrance, perfect intro to the complex. [Photo 1]
• Middle Pagoda (Trung Pagoda): Nestled inside a cave, mysterious and spiritual. [Photo 3]
• Upper Pagoda (Thuong Pagoda): Keep climbing through the bat cave 🦇 until you reach the top with stunning panoramic views. Don’t freak out, the bats are part of the adventure! 😉 [Photo 5]

💸 Price
FREE entrance

💡 Tips
• Bring flip-flops or waterproof shoes 🥿, there’s usually a puddle on the first bridge.
• Cover shoulders and knees 👕👖 (it’s a religious site).
• Don’t stop halfway, keep climbing all the way to the top for the best views 🌄.
• The bat cave can be dark and spooky, but trust me, it’s worth it! 🦇✨
• Visit the temple early in the morning so that you can see colorful and stunning lotus flowers at the entrance 🪷.


📸 Final Thought
Bich Dong Pagoda is not just a temple, it’s an adventure mixing nature, culture, and epic views. A must when in Ninh Binh!
