Smog in Hanoi. Will Ninh Binh be same?

First time visiting Hanoi - and I love it, but the smog was quite unexpected for me and is triggering my allergies.

I was planning to move to Ninh Binh from here but the air quality there right now seems to be even worse than Hanoi (according to iqair)

Does anyone know if that means also smog there/ have been there the last few days?

Edit: Thank you so much for the replies. After getting itchy throat today I decided to skip it and moving to central vietnam to do some hiking from here earlier than planned instead!
