Better than expected

Honestly thought Van Long Nature Reserve would be a tourist trap, but it really delivered. Highlight of our days in Ninh Binh.

Great for families

Took the kids to Van Long Nature Reserve and they loved it. Plenty of space, lots to see, and reasonable prices. Will come back.

Crowded but unforgettable

Yes it's busy, but Van Long Nature Reserve is busy for a reason. Stay 1, 2 hours, bring small cash, and try the local food nearby.
