Located in the Red River Delta in northern Vietnam, Ninh Binh's sprawling landscapes are comprised of limestone karsts, cavernous grottoes and winding waterways. Once the ancient capital of the country, the province now thrives on a growing tourism industry that attracts both domestic and foreign travelers.
But not everyone is touched by the golden arm of tourism. Many families in the province still live below the national poverty line, and many of the workers--both farmers and those in tourism fields--struggle each day to make enough money to get by.
