Private Tour: Sedge Village & Ui Valley
Firstly, Explore Kim Son, a district in Ninh Binh province known for its long-standing tradition of growing sedge and making handicrafts from sedge plants. Visit Kim Son sedge weaving village to understand more about the work as well as stories about the lives of the people here.
During the harvest season, this sedge mat village attracts thousands of tourists to visit every year. There are also aspiring photographers coming here to create many magnificent works with their camera lenses. Most of the households here are attached to sedge growing and weaving mats for a long time, and it is passed down from generation to generation. Mats are not only a daily use item but also show the culture of Vietnamese people.
The “ripe” sedge season is also the time when the summer heat of April-June is like a pan of fire. Therefore, from early morning, when dawn just rose, glimmering the gentle rays of the beginning of the day into space, diligent farmers were busy in the fields to harvest sedges.
Finally, Visit Thung Ui, a new tourist destination in Ninh Binh that impresses with its unique ancient town architecture amidst the Trang An heritage site, and is expected to officially open to visitors during Tet 2026.
Thung Ui is a newly emerging tourist destination located within the Trang An Scenic Landscape Complex, in Tay Hoa Lu ward, Ninh Binh province. Just about 3 km from Bai Dinh Pagoda, this location is becoming a focal point on social media platforms.
