Self – Guided Day in Hanoi
Your tour guide will meet you at the hotel lobby at 8:00 am and take you to Hang Be market. This market is located right in the heart of the Old Quarter and has been serving local customers for hundreds of years. Explore the stalls with various goods and immerse in the vibrant history of the daily life of the locals.
Then, head to Tran Quoc Pagoda – the oldest temple in Hanoi, dating back to the 6th century, during the reign of Emperor Ly Nam De Dynasty (544 – 548). The original name of this Pagoda was An Quoc, but in the 17th century, it was renamed to Tran Quoc (protecting the country) by Emperor Le Huy Tong during the changes in Buddhist shrine traditions. Afterward, we will head to the Vietnam Museum of Ethnology, where you can deeply explore the life of the Vietnamese ethnic group through their history.
Have a stop at the restaurant to taste the local meals for lunch.
In the afternoon, we will spend time visiting the Temple of Literature – which is well known as the first university in Vietnam- a rare example of Vietnamese architecture back in the 11th century. Enjoy the tranquil atmosphere in the beautiful garden of the Temple of Literature before visiting the Ho Chi Minh Complex (outside), where the great President Ho Chi Minh rests in peace. We will visit the traditional stilt house, where Ho Chi Minh lived and worked, and the respected One-Pillar Pagoda’s unique structure. From here, we will take you back to your hotel.
Next, take a short drive to Moc Village, where Mrs. Chin will teach you how to cook Vietnamese dishes that you’ll enjoy for lunch in her tropical garden. Join Mrs. Chin for a walk around the village to visit families and learn how to make tofu, conical hats, and other regional products. Finish with an easy cycle through Vietnam’s iconic rice paddies, followed by a Muong herbal foot bath, before returning to Hanoi.
