What, no escalator? Jan 9, 2019

What, no escalator?

On Take the Stairs Day, take some inspiration from this mountain path in the Ninh Bình province of Vietnam. Or just be glad you don’t have to climb it. The stone path next to the entrance of the Mua Caves zigzags up 486 steps that were designed in the style of the Great Wall of China. At the top, you’ll find a small pagoda and panoramic views of the countryside. Plus, a feeling of achievement.
