There is a Trang An in the hearts of tourists

Ms. Dang Thi Hien (Tourist from Hai Phong ).

 

Ninh Binh is blessed with many beautiful landscapes. What I like most are the moments of discovery at Trang An Eco- tourism Area. A place with majestic and magnificent mountain scenery, surrounded by mountains of various shapes, a system of wild and mysterious caves such as Dia Linh cave, Toi cave, Sang cave... Here, both sightseeing and listening to the locals tell stories about the legends of the caves is very interesting. Although the number of tourists coming to Ninh Binh is quite large, I find that the natural landscape is always kept green, clean, beautiful, the infrastructure is complete, security and order are guaranteed. I will come back here many more times.

Ms. Dao Hai Yen (Tourist from Nam Dinh )

I still remember the years before 2007, when many tourist spots in Ninh Binh still had situations of begging, soliciting, asking for tips, etc. However, in the past ten years, Ninh Binh tourism has changed rapidly, even admirably. Especially the behavioral culture of the people has changed a lot. The old social evils are no longer there, and spiritual tourist spots also maintain a solemn and respectful space. In particular, I was most impressed with the boat rowing farmers in Ninh Binh. They not only have a simple and honest appearance, but also know every story and legend of this land... That is very important, because the existence or loss of heritage is basically due to people. When people truly love, consider protecting and developing heritage as their responsibility, then the heritage will be sustainable and everlasting. And in Ninh Binh, I feel that everyone seems to be proud and uphold the responsibility to protect heritage.

The scenery here is very beautiful! The natural landscape is majestic and poetic, with mountains, rivers, lakes, and especially the cave system in Tam Coc is very shimmering and magical, not much affected by humans. I have been to many places, but few places have the scenery that gives people such a sense of harmony and comfort. It seems that everything is peaceful, to the point that I only worry that some unintentional action of mine can break that quiet atmosphere. In particular, the people here are very kind and friendly. There is a memory that I am very impressed with the people of Ninh Binh. Once, when I was traveling to Van Long lagoon, my car broke down. When I didn't know what to do, a local came to ask and help me fix the car. Despite the language barrier, I felt his kindness. Thank you for giving us such a wonderful experience. That is also the reason why this is the second time I have returned to Ninh Binh.

I am currently a representative of the Asian Education and Experience Center. In recent years, we have been particularly attracted by the tourism potential of Vietnam in general and Ninh Binh province in particular. We have conducted many surveys, researches and affirmed: Trang An World Cultural and Natural Heritage is very suitable for two factors in the Center's activities - education and experience. Currently, we have brought about 400 international visitors to Ninh Binh to participate in learning, research, tourism and experience activities at many destinations such as: Hoa Lu Ancient Capital, Trang An, Tam Coc, Cuc Phuong forest... This is our effort towards the goal of "responsible tourism", inspiring the young generation about nature conservation. In the coming time, the Center will continue to target the Vietnamese market, in which it will coordinate and build more educational and experience tours in Ninh Binh as well as between Ninh Binh and other provinces, cities and countries with heritages.

Mr. Alexei Makartsev (Expert working in Ninh Binh)

I have been in charge of researching and developing foreign projects on semiconductor technology in Vietnam for 7 years now. Ninh Binh is one of the localities where I spend a lot of time working and living every year. During my free time, I often travel to explore and understand more about this land. I really like the peaceful scenery here, especially one of the characteristics, which can be considered as the "identification code" of Ninh Binh tourism, is boat tourism. From Tam Coc, Trang An to Van Long lagoon, ... tourists can leisurely enjoy the scenery on boats. To increase the attractiveness of local tourism, I think, on the one hand, you need to maintain the existing original natural resource values, on the other hand, continue to exploit different types of tourism. In my opinion, you can add more types such as puppetry, performing arts, showing short films about national heroes or experiencing and learning about local cuisine. Those will be great things for tourists to have more impressions on their journey of discovery.
