We spent a day in Hoa Lu District, Ninh Binh Province, the old capital of Vietnam between the 10th and 11th century. They described this province as the Ha Long Bay in land, and it actually is! The province is surrounded by mountains and hills. While the scenery reminded me of New Zealand, Ninh Binh still has its unique character that is incomparable.
