The tour will begin with a trip to the XQ Hand Embroidery Factory. Watch how wonderfully intricate, handwoven fabrics are crafted. It's the perfect place to purchase souvenirs that portray beautiful scenes of Vietnamese culture. Next, stop at Long Son Pagoda, which was founded in the 19th century and is a beautiful example of classic Buddhist architecture. The 14-meter-high Buddha statue that sits atop this site is visible from afar as one enters the city. Here, you'll be able to get some great views of the city and surrounding countryside. The final leg of our tour will take you to view some ancient Cham architecture at Cham Ponagar Temple Complex. Locally referred to as Thap Ba, this set of ancient Cham temples is located on a beautiful hill just outside the city and is reached by crossing the Cai River. Learn about the fascinating ancient civilization of the Hindu-worshipping Cham people as you wander around the temple grounds.
