Riding around Ninh Binh is much safer than in Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh as there is not so much traffic and the roads are in general wide and in a good state. Biking in particular is very suitable as the region is completely flat<\/strong>. You can reach most of the places by bike, however, Bai Dinh and the Phuong National park are quite far, so you will need to rent a scooter instead. The rental price of a scooter is around 100.000 VND per day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
