Mua Cave is one of the most attractive destinations in Ninh Binh, famous for its majestic and poetic natural scenery. Located at the foot of Mua Mountain, it’s about 5 km from the city center. The highlight is the 486 winding white stone steps leading to the mountain peak. This staircase is often compared to a “miniature Great Wall” in the heart of the ancient capital. Each step upward reveals more stunning views of the surrounding limestone mountains.

From the top of Mua Mountain, visitors can enjoy panoramic views of Tam Coc, with the Ngo Dong River winding through lush green or golden rice fields depending on the season. During the ripe rice season (May–June), the landscape resembles a vivid natural painting. Many visitors choose to come at sunrise or sunset to enjoy the peaceful and fresh atmosphere. At the summit, there’s also a statue of the Goddess of Mercy and a stone dragon, adding a touch of spiritual charm. It’s a favorite photography spot for both young travelers and international tourists.

Beyond its breathtaking views, Hang Mua is well-developed in harmony with nature. Walking paths, flower gardens, and resting areas are all clean and carefully maintained. It’s an ideal place for those who love nature, seek physical challenges, or simply want to relax. With its fresh air and untouched beauty, Hang Mua leaves a lasting impression on every visitor. If you're in Ninh Binh, don’t miss the chance to conquer the “rooftop of Tam Coc.
