June comes; Tam Coc is mysteriously beatified by rice fields getting yellow with full of vitality. In this article, An Insider of Vietnam is about to bring some bird's-eye views of the scenic and historic complex. Keep enjoying!
Known as “Halong Bay on land”, Tam Coc scenic spot belonging to Trang An – Tam Coc complex, is not only rated in special national heritages of Vietnam early, but has recently recognized as the world’s natural heritage. It really appeals to travelers and is worth visiting once.
Tam Coc literally means three caves, namely One, Two and Three, which were created by a river persistently ran through the mountain hundreds of years ago. Along that way, a simple form of transportation on river was cleverly put into tourism. It is bamboo boats, which are used for visitors discovering the Halong-on-land among rice paddies conveniently, where limestone rocks magically rise up.
Sailing on Ngo Dong river, a beautiful picture that rugged rocks emerge among rice fields with full of yellow is ever so slowly coming into your eyes. From on high, the river twists through rice paddies and the karst hills of Tam Coc romantically.
It is around 2 hours on bamboo boats; you smoothly drift through three caves and slowly enjoy Tam Coc with your own thrilling photos. Rice paddies vastly stretch from the first cave to the beginning of the second one. How Beautiful!
Annually, Tam Coc attracts thousand people by its beauty from the end of May to June, especially photographers whose lenses are continuously toward the ears of rice that are plump and ripe for harvesting…
It is customary to have low banks of earth between rice-fields in many rural areas of Vietnam; however, the peasants of Van Lam village are unusual when cultivating without any banks on Ngo Dong River. While the field overflows with water, those locals are harvesting under hard sunlight.
Nearby “One” cave, we sometime excite with a native image of boats overloading rice and of locals cutting on the Ngo Dong River. People are humble with nature and deep in working hard for a better life.
Thai Vi temple where Ninh Binh people worship those who partially dedicated their life for this land such as King Tran Nhan Tong, legendary General Tran Hung Dao… looks sacred.

Cycling to feel subtle perfume of yellow rice, it is another activity after visiting the temple instead of sailing back to harbor. It also has some fun to say “Goodbye” Tam Coc where a splash of yellow is lovely alive on your mind.
