08:00 AM: Meet your guide and driver at your hotel in Hanoi, then depart for Duong Lam Ancient Village, a peaceful rural village located in the Northern Red River Delta. Known for its traditional architecture and authentic countryside atmosphere, Duong Lam is one of the best-preserved ancient villages in Vietnam.

These houses are excellent examples of traditional Vietnamese architecture, with wooden structures, tiled roofs, peaceful courtyards, and family altars.

Enjoy lunch at a local house, where you can taste simple and authentic home-cooked dishes typical of the countryside.

In the afternoon, visit Ngo Quyen Temple and Phung Hung Temple, both dedicated to great national heroes who played important roles in Vietnam’s history. Continue with a gentle bicycle ride to Mia Pagoda, a beautiful pagoda built in the 15th century and famous for its impressive collection of ancient Buddhist statues.
