Have you seen the film “Kong: Skull Island”? Do you know where its impressive scene is? If you want to see that majestic scene, let’s visit Trang An – one of the most beautiful destinations of Ninh Binh province in Vietnam.
The wonderful scenery in Trang An is considered a natural gift to this land. Trang An Scenic Area consists of bendy, winding mountains, surrounded by many rivers and mysterious caves. Sitting on a boat cruising around the area, you will be exploring the caves, watching the rice fields ripen along the shore peacefully.
To help you have the most wonderful experience when you go to Trang An, I will give you some notes.
1.1. Time
Spring season, (from January to March lunar month) when the weather is warm, is the best time to go to Trang An. There are many big festivals this time, so it is quite crowded.
The fact that you can travel to Trang An at another time of the year to avoid that and you can enjoy the wonderful scenery here, most fully.
