Ninh Binh is by far our most favorite place in all of Vietnam. Just the overall vibe and peace that this town oozes is something we’ve never experienced before. If that vibe is something you’re after too, have we got a place for you! Bring a visit to Hoa Lu Ancient Capital at night. Sure, it’s nice during the day, but at night all the lights turn on which makes it look straight out of a fairytale!
Located at the complex of Ky Lan Lake Park and Hoa Lu Hotel, the ancient town has been built with the aim of promoting Ninh Binh tourism to become an attractive spot for domestic and international tourists. Well, we can tell you: it worked! We were mesmerized by the shimmering lights of the two tower stupas, the whole setting has a magical ambiance that's simply enchanting. Just walking over the cozy bridges with lanterns hanging above them was so much fun!
Everywhere you walk, you'll find the perfect backdrop for unforgettable photos. And let's not forget about the food! There are countless delicious traditional dishes available, like banh mat or banh chung for dessert, or just classics like bún chả. Plus, don't miss the chance to hop on a boat on Ky Lan lake for a serene evening cruise under the stars. At Hoa Lu Ancient Capital, the night truly comes alive with vibrant colors and magical lights, an experience we won't soon forget!
