Description

Spend the day exploring the ancient Pagodas and villages of northern Vietnam, seeing firsthand the unique culture of the Red River Delta.

Drive two hours west of Hanoi to the Thay Pagoda - the Pagoda of the Heavenly Blessing. Sitting at the foot of Sai Son Mountain, the complex is dedicated to the Thich Ca Buddha, and dates from the 11th Century. It remains one of the most important sites for pilgrims in Vietnam and is famous for its connection to the ancient art of water puppetry. Spend time exploring the ornate chambers and ancient courtyards, before making the short climb up the hillside to enjoy commanding views over the countryside.

Continue on to Tay Phuong Pagoda. Dating from the 8th century, Tay Phuong has a long and distinguished history and has seen many incarnations. Rebuilt in 1632, the Pagoda is the perfect example of Sino-Vietnamese architecture. Hear the story of the ancient Vietnamese people of the Delta and discover the intricately carved wooden statues depicting the 5 stages of man.

Afterwards, drive on to the ancient village of Duong Lam - the only village in Vietnam listed as a national heritage monument. Enjoy a traditional lunch at a local home, and spend some time talking to the villagers who's life has changed little over the years.

After lunch, set off on two wheels on a cycling trip of the village. Pass by ancient temples and through narrow winding alleyways before transferring back to Hanoi.
