    Hidden Gem – Ninh Binh Province Vietnam

    Before I arrived in Vietnam I had never heard of Ninh Binh. I don’t know whether I was ignorant or if it feels like I see it everywhere now because I am paying attention to it. To tell the truth, I had no idea what to expect from this tour, but Ninh Binh really is a hidden gem of Vietnam.
