Ninh Bình (Vietnamese: [nïŋ˧˧ ʔɓïŋ˨˩] ^ⓘ) is a province of Vietnam in the Red River Delta region of the northern part of the country.^[2] The province is famous for a high density of natural and cultural attractions, including reserved parks in Cúc Phương National Park and Vân Long, grotto caves and rivers in Tràng An, Tam Cốc-Bích Động and Múa Caves, historic monuments in the Hoa Lư ancient capital, Vietnam's largest buddhist worshiping complex (Bái Đính Temple), and the Phát Diệm Cathedral with "eclectic architectural style". Thanks to its adjacency to Hanoi, day trips from the capital are easily manageable.

Geography

Ninh Bình is located to the south of the Northern Delta, between the Red and Ma rivers. It is bordered by Hòa Bình and Hà Nam to the north, Nam Định to the northeast, and Thanh Hóa to the south and west. Ninh Bình also has a very short coastline abutting the Gulf of Tonkin.^[3]

The population is 898,500 people, with a total area of 1,329.4 km².

TRAVEL DESTINATIONS

Thung Nham Ninh Binh, also known as Thung Chim, is about 12km west of Ninh Binh city center. Thung Nham has an area of more than 300 hectares, including primeval forest landscapes, flooded forests, terrestrial cave systems, and bird gardens with a variety of precious bird species. Thung Nham Ninh Binh has a wild and lyrical beauty that has become one of the attractive destinations for domestic and foreign tourists. Let's explore through the journey to learn the best of the cave system here. ^[4]==Administrative divisions==

Ninh Bình is subdivided into eight district-level sub-divisions:
