Stunning view from Hang Mua and its Fantastic Caves, Ninh Binh

Mua Cave (Hang Mua) is located at the foot of Mua Mountain. Some travelers getting to Hang Mua would rather love climbing up the Ngoa Long Mountain to have the stunning view of Tam Coc area with mountain range, rice fields and waterway. It’s a fair climb up hundreds of steps (500) lead you to a temple on top of the mountain, you can admire the whole beauty of the Tam Coc area with the vast, green rice fields.Steps lead to top mountain in Hang Mua was imitated from architecture of Great Wall of China with 486 stone steps. Traveling to Hang Mua peak, you will wallow in a wonderful landscape of mountain, valley and river.

Hang Mua has its meaning as “dancing cave” because this site was previously considered as the place where Tran king used to come to enjoy dancing & singing shows performed in this cave.

Hang Mua is constructed following the model of “miniature Great Wall” in China with nearly 500 steps up to mountains to conquer. It is a hard trek up with many of its uneven limestone steps but worth your conquering efforts for the impressive panoramic view of Tam Coc, Trang An & Ninh Binh city when you reach the top point of Ngoa Long mountain.Take your leisurely trek up with care due to steep steps on the way. For wonderful panoramic photos of golden rice fields & limestone mountains, you’d better arrange your trip to Ninh Binh & Mua cave between late May and early June when the rice is getting ripe and change from green to yellow colors.

So the whole boat trip was insanely fascinating and beautiful. the cave system was incredible but a bit narrow in some places. the best time to visit this place is in the morning because if you go around 12-3pm you will be roasted alive by the sun.

This was the final stage of our trip here in northern Vietnam, but the set has been a lot of fun.

now it's off to central Vietnam and Danang
