Ninh Binh - Tam Coc - Vietnam

Tam Coc is on the Red River Delta in North Vietnam.
It's part of the province of Ninh Binh.


Very beautiful and unspoilt.

There is a flooded cave system; and lots of mountain pagodas.




I was only there for 1 day. Hardly enough time to explore.

Take a boat up the river.

The geology of the cave/ mountain system is very similar to what you will see in Ha Long Bay
except its inland.

One of the coolest things is to watch how people row the boats .... with their feet.
So definitely  take the two-hour sampan-ride.


The film Indochine made this place famous.

The Sampan ride takes you down a meandering river .. you will see lots of rice paddys and mountains, and pass through 3 flooded caves.
