Chios

Ninh Binh

Ninh Binh, located about 100 kilometers south of Hanoi, offers a landscape shaped by limestone karsts, winding rivers, and flooded rice paddies. Often referred to as “Ha Long Bay on land,” the area is best explored by rowboat. At Trang An Scenic Landscape Complex, boat routes pass through caves, ancient pagodas, and valleys surrounded by towering cliffs. Local rowers often use their feet to paddle, an unusual technique that surprises many first-time visitors.

One of its most iconic sites is Railay Beach, which is accessible only by boat due to the cliffs that cut it off from the mainland. Railay is famous among rock climbers for its natural limestone formations, some of which hang directly over the sea.

Chios lies in the northeastern Aegean, close enough to the Turkish coast that the mainland feels present in daily life. Its history is marked by trade, maritime wealth, and rupture, most notably the 1822 massacre during the Greek War of Independence, an event that still shapes local memory. Over time, the island rebuilt itself through commerce and agriculture, maintaining a distinct identity within the Aegean world.

The island’s landscape shifts noticeably from north to south. Rugged mountains and sparsely populated villages dominate the north, while gentler lowlands in the south support citrus groves and the mastic trees unique to Chios. Coastal areas alternate between small harbors and quiet beaches, with the sea acting as both boundary and connector.

Chios has a restrained, grounded atmosphere. Life moves at a steady pace, centered on villages, seasonal harvests, and long-established routines rather than spectacle.
