What?

Mua cave (a.k.a Hang Mua) is a place where you can see a spectacular 360 view of Ninh Bihn and to reach the top you must climb 500 steps. It is quite a bit of a trek, the stairs steepens as you reach closer to the top, but the struggle  is worth seeing the picturesque view. Prior to reaching the staircase there is some walking involved but easy; passing by rice paddies on paved road and through a beautiful pagoda. Shortly, you will see a staircase leading you to up the mountain, at the top there is a temple and space to roam around and view Ninh Binh from different angles.
