A province of inland karst scenery in northern Vietnam, Ninh Bình is centered on the Tam Cốc waterway, where sampan boats navigate through flooded rice paddies past limestone peaks riddled with cave passages. The hilltop citadel ruins of Hoa Lư, the tenth-century capital of the Đinh dynasty, occupy a naturally fortified valley encircled by cliffs. The nearby Tràng An Landscape Complex, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, extends the same karst-and-water scenery through a series of seasonal lagoons.
