In the world, there are unattractive places and there are majestic places.

Vietnam has many unattractive places, especially in big cities. Dirty and flooded streets, noisy and wild motorbikes, hot and wet weather… But if you can bear all of those, the country will give you a lot of contentment.

As I said at the beginning, majestic places exist as well. In the north of Vietnam, not far from the capital, Hanoi, wanderers can visit the province of Ninh Binh.

A good friend of mine invited to her place to visit this wonderful place.

This is the view from her parents’ house. The beautiful rocky hills of Ninh Binh.

About 10 km away from her place lies Ba Dinh temple. The largest Buddhist temple of Southeast Asia. The number of stairs in this temple is always a multiple of 4 because the first step is the birth, then the growth, the death, and the reincarnation. It goes like this forever.
