Rowing through the limestone karsts and emerald rice paddies felt like stepping into a painting. The boat ride was peaceful, and the locals were warm and welcoming. A perfect romantic getaway. Highly…Full review by Porter G

Q:
I'm looking to visit in July 2019. Where does the boat tour down the river start from? All blogs and website point to a place a little South West of Ninh Binh centre but this looks like a lake (shaped like the letter "M"). The blogs and travel guides mention the Ngo Dong River but on a map I can't find this, nor does it look like any river connects to the lake. Is the lake boat tour separate? Many thanks
A:
It certainly is a river, but there are several places where you can take a boat but the main one is pretty well in the town centre. There may be a lake near by but we did not see it.
