Three of Ninh Binh’s most famous attractions: the Trang An Landscape Complex, Tam Coc–Bich Dong, and Bai Dinh Pagoda, have just been recognized by global travel platform TripAdvisor in its 2025 Travellers’ Choice Awards.

This recognition once again highlights the irresistible charm of Vietnam’s former royal capital and marks another milestone for Ninh Binh tourism on its path toward global integration and sustainable development.

According to TripAdvisor’s latest announcement, the Trang An Landscape Complex earned the prestigious “Best of the Best” title — the highest distinction in the Travellers’ Choice Awards, granted to only the top 1% of destinations worldwide. Often described as “a living masterpiece of mountains and rivers within the ancient capital of Hoa Lu” Trang An captivates travelers with its stunning limestone ranges, mysterious caves, and meandering rivers surrounded by tranquil countryside. As a UNESCO dual World Heritage Site (both Cultural and Natural), Trang An is widely praised for its eco-friendly and sustainable tourism model — a perfect harmony between heritage preservation and green economic growth.

Alongside Trang An, Tam Coc–Bich Dong and Bai Dinh Pagoda were also honored among TripAdvisor’s “Travellers’ Choice: Outstanding Destinations 2025,” ranking within the top 10% of the world’s most beloved sites.

Known as “Ha Long Bay on Land,” Tam Coc–Bich Dong offers breathtaking scenery where rivers, mountains, clouds, and rice fields blend together like a watercolor painting. For international visitors, it represents one of Vietnam’s most distinctive cultural and natural landscapes — a must-see gem in Southeast Asia.

Meanwhile, Bai Dinh Pagoda — the largest Buddhist complex in Vietnam — was recognized with TripAdvisor’s verified “Green Checkmark for Trust and Excellence.” Boasting grand architecture, immense scale, and several Asian records, Bai Dinh is not only a spiritual landmark but also a symbol of cultural and religious pride for the Trang An heritage region.

These consecutive international honors reflect Ninh Binh’s strong commitment to protecting heritage values, developing unique tourism products, and building a friendly, professional travel brand.

Through effective destination management, investment, promotion, and workforce training, Ninh Binh has been repeatedly named a “Globally Influential Destination” by Forbes, Trips to Discover, and the Philip Kotler Awards. The image of “Ninh Binh – The Timeless Charm of the Ancient Capital” continues to shine as one of Vietnam’s signature tourism brands on the world map.

In the first nine months of 2025 alone, Ninh Binh welcomed over 16.8 million visitors, up 27.9% from the previous year, generating 17.9 trillion VND in tourism revenue — a 41% increase year-on-year. These impressive figures underscore the region’s growing appeal to both domestic and international travelers.

Looking ahead to 2030, Ninh Binh aims to attract 30 million visitors, including at least 5 million international tourists, striving to become a leading regional hub for heritage, eco, cultural, and spiritual tourism in Vietnam and Southeast Asia.

The success of Trang An, Tam Coc–Bich Dong, and Bai Dinh stems not only from their breathtaking beauty but also from a shared vision of sustainability, local collaboration, and cultural pride. From a land of heritage, Ninh Binh is rising as a global destination — where nature, culture, and the warm hospitality of the Vietnamese people come together in perfect harmony.
