  • Bai Dinh Pagoda is a very large complex. 50KVND admission + 30KVND each way for Electric Cart (optional). The corridor of Arhat Statues had 500 Buddha Statues lined up. Bodhisattva Avalokitesvars...

  • Big religious site consisting of many religious building with dominant pagoda in the middle. I definitely suggest to there if you are staying in Ninh Binh.

  • Absolutely epic in scale and beauty. The temple are grounds are meticulously maintained and the individual temples are gorgeous and peaceful. Worth every dong to see it all including the pagoda which has breathtaking views of the valley around. Pants and sleeved shirts really are expected, and while no one will get after you for wearing shorts or a tank top - know that it is really rude to do so on these hooly grounds. Please don't be that tourist.
  • Beautiful complex of temples! We had an amazing time there. You can easily spend a couple of hours walking around. The atmosphere is very calm and relaxing. The entry fee is 60,000 dong. Don't pay the 200,000 since it's a trap. The 60,000 ticket includes the entry and the electric car to and from the complex. They try to sell you the 200,000 ticket which includes going up the Stupa, but in reality you can get tickets inside the complex for 50,000 (so 110,000 in total 🤷‍♀️ ). Parking is 15,000 dong.
