Top 3 Things to Do in Ninh Binh in July
Wandering around Bai Dinh Pagoda
Bai Dinh Pagoda is reputed as the biggest Buddhist complex in Vietnam and Southeast Asia, home to more than 500 Buddha statues of different kinds, as well as countless national and international records.
Not as crowded as other months, July brings a peaceful and calm atmosphere to the pagoda. The landscapes at this time are covered with lush green trees, while the pagoda’s ponds see the blooming of the lotus, adding the spiritual vibe to Bai Dinh.
Exploring Thien Ha Cave
Thien Ha Cave (or Galaxy Cave) is truly an ideal spot to avoid the heat of July. Hidden deep inside Tuong Mountain, the cave possesses fresh, cool air all year round. Thien Ha is divided into 2 parts: the dry part and the wet part.
The dry part is 200 meters long, full of stalactites shining under natural lights from holes in the cave’s ceiling. The wet part is longer, approximately 500 meters long and full of water. To explore this part of Thien Ha, you’ll have to board a sampan boat sailed by locals, slowly cruising under the magnificent stalagmites above.
Visit Ninh Binh Bear Sanctuary
One of the most impressive areas in Ninh Binh to visit in July is the Bear Sanctuary. Known as an animal welfare project by FOUR PAWS, Ninh Binh Bear Sanctuary is the 55-ha preserve, protecting 45 rescued bears from bear bile farming and wildlife trafficking in Vietnam.
Other than witnessing the bears from the elevated corridor, you’ll also be able to join in various activities, such as visiting the bear exhibition or taking a guided tour of the centre.
