Nui Ngoa Long Lying Dragon Mountain Ninh Binh, Vietnam 2024

Located in Khe Dau Ha Village, Ninh Xuan Commune, Hoa Lu District, Ninh Binh Province, Ngoa Long Mountain is a hidden gem just 10 kilometers away from Ninh Binh’s center and 100 kilometers away from Hanoi. At the foot of the mountain lies Mua Caves, a popular tourist site within Trang An Scenic Landscape Complex.

The journey to Mua Caves is a visual delight, with picturesque rice fields nestled against the mountains, charming villages, and serene rivers and lakes. The nearly 500 moss-covered stone steps leading up the mountain resemble a miniature Great Wall, with intricately carved dragon and phoenix motifs that reflect the artistic spirit of the Tran dynasty. As you ascend, you’ll be rewarded with breathtaking views of Tam Coc, making the climb well worth the effort.
