Chùa Linh Cốc — Attraction in Ninh Bình Province

An awesome experience truly, the temple is calm and peaceful. And the cave system attachted was one if not the most amazing cave we have ever visited. Not because of its size but because of its beauty and serenity. You can likely visit it all by yourself which made the experience even better for us. There is a fee of 20k, true, but not only does this bring you lighting throughout the cave aka no flashlights needed it may also contribute to maintaining this amazing cave itself.

The worst place I visited in Vietnam.

My partner and I accidentally came across this place while cycling around. When we entered and decided not to pay for the cave, we left and went in a different direction from where we had come. The man there started screaming at us in Vietnamese as if we had done something terrible, demanding that we leave immediately. The woman next to him gestured that he would punch us if we didn’t go away.

I wouldn’t recommend this...
