Van Long Nature Reserve

Despite being opened for tourism since 1998, Van Long is still primitive and beautiful like a painting. It is also the largest wet land natural reservation in Northern Vietnam.

On a lucky day, travelers can also see the Delacour Langur, a rare species only remain at Van Long Reserve and has been named in the Red List.

Hang Mua peak is a must see destination of any Ninh Binh tours and the best place to have the elevated view of the area.
