Description

Begin with a pickup from your hotel in Hanoi. Set off on a scenic 1.5-hour drive westward through the Red River Delta, passing lush rice fields, banana plantations, and peaceful countryside landscapes. Arrive at Duong Lam, a 1,200-year-old village known for its well-preserved architecture and cultural heritage. Begin your walking tour through narrow brick alleys lined with ancient laterite houses. Visit the Mong Phu Communal House (16th century) and learn about rural traditions, architecture, and the history of Vietnam’s first heritage village. Continue to Mia Pagoda, an important spiritual site built in the 15th century. Admire its 287 statues, including revered depictions of Buddha and the Eight Vajra Deities. Your guide will share insights into the religious life of the villagers and the pagoda’s historical significance. Enjoy an authentic Vietnamese meal in a 400-year-old house, lovingly prepared by a local family. Dine in a quiet courtyard and savor regional dishes, including vegetarian options upon request. This is a chance to relax and experience genuine village hospitality. After lunch, take a peaceful bicycle ride through rice fields and village trails. Stop at the temples of King Ngo Quyen and King Phung Hung—two national heroes. Along the way, observe daily rural life, pass by local schools, and see small workshops and family farms. Bid farewell to the charming village and begin your return journey to the city.
