July
MEDIUM
27-34°C
July is another hot month in Ninh Binh with an average temperature of 30°C. This is a great time for ecotourism. However, sunlight in Vietnam is strong so to make the most of your trip, you should go to Ninh Binh in earlier than other months. If you are going to climb to the top of Mua Moutain to enjoy the panoramic view, it’s better to avoid the noon time. Sunrise and sunset at Dragon Mountain are fanatics.
