Ninh Binh welcomes first visitors of Lunar New Year

19 February 2026 | 08:32:00 AM

The northern province of Ninh Binh welcomed its first visitors on February 17, marking the start of the 2026 tourism season on Lunar New Year’s Day.

Bui Van Manh, Director of the provincial Department of Tourism, presented flowers and lucky money to early visitors, expressing hopes of sustained domestic and international interest.


Major sites such as Bai Dinh Pagoda, Tam Chuc, Thung Nham and Hang Mua opened early to welcome crowds. At Bai Dinh Pagoda, visitors gathered from dawn to pray for good fortune, including tour groups from India, China, Britain and France.

Thung Ui Tourism Area in Tay Hoa Lu Ward, a new addition to the Trang An Landscape Complex, opened during Tet, offering a slower-paced cultural and spiritual retreat rooted in Dinh dynasty and Muong heritage while easing pressure on crowded sites.

Tourism officials said favourable weather and careful preparations, including festive decorations and strengthened security and sanitation measures, helped ensure smooth operations on the first day of the year.

Ninh Binh aims to welcome 20 million visitors in 2026, including three million international arrivals.
