Ninh Bình First Impressions! From Countryside To City Side - Is It Worth Visiting in 2026?

Are we crazy for spending 11 hours in a shuttle just to reach Ninh Binh Vietnam? This is stop one of our epic 3-week journey across Northern Vietnam covering over 2,200km. From the stunning limestone cliffs to a hidden walking street we never knew existed, Ninh Binh absolutely blew our minds. Watch as we explore both the breathtaking natural scenery and the surprising city side that most tourists never see.
