Van Trinh Cave Phat Diem Cathedral 1 Day Tour

Ninh Binh Tours to Van Trinh Cave Phat Diem Cathedral 1 Day Tour

Pick up at hotel drive to Ninh Binh. Take boat trip to visit Van Trinh - About 30 minutes of boat trip from Kenh Ga is the Van Trinh Cave. The cave is equal in its size to Taing Kong Cave in Ha Long Bay.

A trail starts from where the boat will drop you, and goes along amazing rice fields until it reaches the cave itself. Along the trail you can meet farmers on their way to work or to their home. Inside the cave, look for a natural formation, high on one of the walls, that looks like a praying monk (or if you wish - to a friendly alien). Continue to visit Phat Diem Cathedral - he center of Catholicism in North Vietnam is the Phat Diem Cathedral. The cathedral is unique for its Buddhist pagoda shape. It was built in the years 1875-1899, and includes a network of pools, lakes, churches and artificial caves. The interior of the cathedral expresses the contrast between Christianity and local culture, and Chinese dragons are foudn where saints and Christians angels are. The cathedral is situated 28 km south-east to Ninh Binh, and the entrance is free of charge. It is recommended to visit on a Sunday, when the locals come for mass, or during Christian holidays, if you are lucky.
