Tuyệt Tình Cốc is not only a tourist destination but also considered a "holy place" of young people who wish their love to be eternal. It is also lookalike scene in those ancient movies. This is not very well known for the tourists but it is a must visit place for the local whenever they are at Ninh Binh.

The entrance fee is just 20,000vnd. It is really cheap and the parking is 10,000vnd for a bike. It is recommended to travel around Ninh Binh in a bike anyway.

You are going through this tunnel to the other side of an amazing scenery. It is really looks like a time tunnel where it does gave you the feeling that you are entering into a different world.

Especially when the lake here, all year-round throughout the month often has beautiful jade green color, clear water even you can see the bottom of the lake anymore! The four surrounding surfaces are covered with green mountains, which adorn this scenery, so many people often call it "Love Romance".

However, do not rush to go around the lake, instead you need to take care to prepare to conquer more than 200 stairs to come to the cave of Tien Tien ahead! The steps are made from stone and quite comfortable, not steep, so moving is not difficult. The more you go above you will encounter beautiful scenes that are not always visible. If you have the opportunity to visit Tuyệt Tình Cốc on sunny days, you will admire the rays of sunlight creeping through every green leaf, through the shimmering cliffs adorn the beauty of this place. After about 205 stairs you will find Am Tien cave in the middle of the mountain. Many locals also call this place the Dragon Cave because it looks like a dragon's mouth from a distance. The cave is not too big, so don't forget to spend a few minutes to explore here!

At Tuyệt Tình Cốc also has a strong wall on the mountain opposite the Tien Tien cave. However, going here is often quite difficult. If you have the opportunity to set foot here, you will surely be overwhelmed by the solid buildings that have gone through many years of history but still stand before the lyrical poetry of the ancient land.

There are usually a few small boats on the lake, but the boats here often give priority to couples taking wedding photos, if you come here in the days when the guests are not there, you can take a seat and pose.
