Vietnam Like You’ve Never Seen – Bai Tu Long Bay, Ninh Binh & Lying Dragon Hike

Vietnam surprised us at every turn — from towering limestone cliffs and hidden caves to serene rivers and sacred pagodas. In this adventure, we explored some of the country’s most breathtaking spots:

🚤 Bai Tu Long Bay – a quieter, more pristine alternative to Halong Bay. We spent 2 days and 1 night cruising Bai Tu Long Bay, kayaking through hidden caves, and soaking in jaw-dropping limestone cliffs — and that was just the start!
⛵ Ninh Binh – the “Halong Bay on land.” We enjoyed boat tours through peaceful waterways, kayaked under limestone cliffs, and marveled at landscapes that looked straight out of a postcard.
🛕 Pagoda adventures – two completely different experiences:
Bich Dong Pagoda – an ancient, cave-integrated complex perched on Ngu Nhac Mountain with layered shrines and stunning views.

Bai Dinh Pagoda – Southeast Asia’s largest pagoda complex, featuring colossal Buddha statues, long corridors, and an electric cart ride through grandeur.

⛰️ Nui Ngo Long hike – also known as the “lying dragon,” this scenic trek led us to sweeping views of lilypad-filled waters and the surrounding mountains — a highlight you won’t want to miss.
This full-day adventure combined nature, culture, and slow travel into one unforgettable journey, perfect for families, travelers, or anyone looking to experience Vietnam off the beaten path.
