Ninh Binh Jeep: Con Noi, Phat Diem Farm Village Life

Escape the tourist trail and discover Ninh Binh’s untouched east on a full-day open-air Jeep adventure. This unique route takes you through scenic dikes, peaceful villages, and cultural treasures rarely seen by travelers.

Our journey begins at Con Noi Wetlands, a rare floating land surrounded by rice fields, waterways, and reed beds. Enjoy panoramic views from narrow dikes and see local farmers at work.

We then ride to the Kim Son sedge weaving village, where you’ll join a mini workshop with skilled artisans. Learn the basics of traditional weaving and create your own small souvenir to take home.

Next is the Phat Diem Stone Cathedral, a 100-year-old architectural masterpiece blending Vietnamese pagoda-style roofs with Gothic and Romanesque design. Your guide will share fascinating stories about its history and cultural significance.

At a riverside farm, try traditional fish-catching with bamboo traps or nets, then join an outdoor cooking class to prepare freshly caught fish with garden vegetables. Enjoy a rustic countryside lunch under the shade of trees or beside the water.

In the afternoon, visit a quiet village pagoda for herbal tea and a conversation with the resident monk, gaining insight into monastic life and Buddhist customs.

Our final stop is the Cau Ngoi Covered Bridge, a rare example of traditional wooden architecture gracefully spanning a small river—perfect for photos and stories of local heritage.

Throughout the day, enjoy the thrill of Jeep travel, the warmth of local hospitality, and the charm of Ninh Binh’s untouched countryside.
