Bich Dong Pagoda stands out with its unusual formation--each of the three pagodas rest on three different levels of the mountain. Climb the steep stairs, wind through the caves, and see rice fields on the way up. The path abounds with vistas of pointed green mountains, mist, and rivers. The pagodas have different designs--the low pagoda boasts five departments, while half of the middle one is carved into the mountain. A green pond encloses the top pagoda, creating a serene and picturesque ambiance. Enter the gloomy interiors displaying altars, Buddhist statues, and smelling strongly of incense. Consider bringing a flashlight to better explore the caves. Make your Ninh Binh itinerary with Inspirock to find out what to see and where to go.

There are two routes you can take after parking your scooter and paying them the $25k parking fee. The one at the entrance leads to a very dark silent cave with very slippery steps inside while the other path where you park your scooter leads to a much nicer, secluded spot for some amazing pictures next to a lake. Would be careful of the guy working next to the lake who wants you to look inside a little cave at the end.

We liked this place a lot! Arrived around 16:30 and paid 40k to park our 3 bikes. With only a few people on site, it was very nice and quiet. We went through all the hidden passages and the cave and the kids were really excited to explore the area. Been there for about an hour or an hour and a half with a very slow moving pace.
