Serene Buddha Statue in Ninh Binh, Vietnam

📍Ninh Binh, Vietnam When we made our itinerary for 3 weeks in Vietnam, we originally had a very popular beach area on the list, but a local host told us to travel to the Ninh Binh area instead & it did not disappoint We took a motorbike through the countryside, toured through caves on rowboat, hiked to beautiful scenery & visited an enormous lotus garden Have you ever made an unexpected detour on a trip that turned out better than expected? . . .
