      Ninh Binh beautifies Vietnam not only with potential tourist attractions but also with stone carving

Tourists cruise along a river en route to visiting the Huong (Perfume) Pagoda on the outskirts of Ha Noi. The Road Directorate has agreed on a plan to build a new 78-km road linking tourist sites such as the Perfume Pagoda and Bai Dinh Pagoda in Ninh Binh Province to Ha Noi.

Nguyen Van Quyen, the Acting Director, said that the four-lane road, with a speed limit of 100kph, was an extremely large project that required complicated techniques and careful calculations.

The most economical approach would cost VND3.4 trillion (US$161.9 million) but this would require taking land from the Van Long nature reserve. The other option would cost VND4.3 trillion ($204.7 million).

The road would help the North-South transport network and link up tourist destinations, such as Bai Dinh and Huong pagodas, to Ha Noi.

Located 93km south of Ha Noi, Ninh Binh has a diverse landscape, with the Trang An eco-tourism complex boasting mountains, caves and lakes.

Roughly 3.6 million people have visited the province in the first six months of this year. Tam Coc-Bich Dong and the Bai Dinh Pagoda have also created quite an impression.

Ninh Binh aims to welcome 6 million visitors, including 1 million foreigners, by 2015, an annual growth rate of 10 per cent

Huong Pagoda, better known as the Perfumed Pagoda, is said to be Viet Nam's most famous pilgrimage site for Buddhist followers.

Every year, the site welcomes more than 1 million pilgrims and tourists from across the country, who arrive at the sacred cave to pray for a happy and prosperous year, or simply to admire its picturesque beauty.

Built in the late 17th century, the pagoda is located in My Duc District, 70km southwest of Ha Noi.

American photographer Ryan Deboodt has shot a striking photo collection of Son Doong Cave, the current largest cave in the world, located in central Vietnam.

Deboodt, who now lives in Ho Chi Minh City, did the collection late last year when he traveled to Hang En and Son Doong Caves in Phong Nha - Ke Bang National Park, situated in Quang Binh Province, along with members of the British Cave Research Association, according toDaily Mail.  

He arrived at the park after traveling by plane and car before taking treks of up to four hours through the jungle to reach the caves, Daily Mail said.

Son Doong Cave, which has a large fast-flowing underground river inside, was found by a local resident named Ho Khanh in 1991.

The cave became famous after a group of British scientists from the British Cave Research Association, led by Howard and Deb Limbert, conducted a survey in Phong Nha-Ke Bang which was recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in April 2009.

According to Limbert, Son Doong Cave is five times larger than Phong Nha Cave which was once considered the biggest cave in Vietnam.

The largest chamber of Son Doong is more than five kilometers long, 200 meters high, and 150 meters wide.

With such large dimensions, Son Doong has overtaken Deer Cave in Malaysia to take the title of the world's largest cave.

Scroll up for the spectacular pictures of Son Doong Cave provided toTuoi Tre newspaper by Oxalis Co. which offers tour packages ranging from US$3,000 to $6,000 to the world’s largest cave.

Later he returned the sword to the Golden Turtle God in the lake.

With seven stories, the Thien Mu Pagoda in Hue is the tallest pagoda in Vietnam. The pagoda overlooks the Perfume River and is regarded as the unofficial symbol of the former imperial capital.
