Van Long Lagoon – a hidden gem of Ninh Binh
Once arriving in the sightseeing spot for the first time, tourists may be enchanted by its harmonious combination of imposing cliffs and mountains and vast lakes which form the breathtaking and poetic scenery that nature has blessed the land of Ninh Binh.
In addition, tourists are highly recommended to take bamboo basket boat tours to indulge themselves in a tranquil atmosphere with familiar sounds of nature in the early morning or late in the afternoon to admire the breathtaking view of flocks of storks returning to their nests at sunset.
Although it was opened for tourism in 1998, Van Long is still as primitive as ever and becomes a promising destination in the eyes of local and foreign travelers, especially international filmmakers.
Along with Trang An Scenic Landscape Complex and Tam Coc-Bich Dong National Park in the province, the untouched and pristine beauty of Van Long Lagoon has been chosen by movie director Jordan Vogt-Roberts to shoot the Hollywood movie “Kong: Skull Island”.
