The Program
Location & Accommodation
Ninh Bình is a province of Vietnam, in the Red River Delta region of the northern part of the country. Closer to Hanoi than Halong Bay, yet just as breathtaking, this up-and-coming destination offers surreal limestone karats and tranquil boat rides. Approximately 90 minute car drive from Hanoi.
Ninh Binh is Vietnam’s ancient royal capital, with much of its building credited to King Le Dai Hanh of the tenth century dynasty. With its otherworldly landscape of massive limestone karats, and its location away from Vietnam’s coast, Ninh Binh is sometimes dubbed “Halong Bay on land.” Like the famed UNESCO World Heritage site three hours east of Hanoi, the destination is best viewed by boat. But in Ninh Binh’s case, instead of an emerald sea at the base of its cliff faces, a network of tributaries from the Hoang Long river wraps around and siphons through the towering stone formations.
Accommodations
Emeralda Resort is located on the edge of Van Long Nature Preserve, a primeval tropical forest in Ninh Binh – Vietnam’s ancient royal capital.
The villas feature elegantly designed architecture in Vietnamese countryside style. Some have open-style bathroom, creating an atmosphere of space, light within and boast peaceful views of surrounding garden and green mountain.
Room amenities include LCD flat screen TV, cable network, in-room wifi, mini-bar, and individual safe deposit box.
Facilities include Organics Restaurant, Wine Bar, Spa & Fitness Centre, indoor and outdoor pool.
