Visit to the Temple of Literature, the Bat Trang pottery hamlet, a drive through the Old Quarter, and a water puppet performance.
8:30 a.m. Pickup from your accommodation to Bat Trang, which is only 20 kilometers from the center of Hanoi and is located on the banks of the Red River. This town, which specializes in porcelain artistry, is well known as one of Vietnam's most well-known traditional craft centers.
After arriving, we'll start our exploration of the hamlet by going to the communal house, which honors the village's founder and serves as a hub for porcelain craft. Follow the winding alleyways to an old home that was built about the same time as the Long Bien Bridge. The presenter will now go over the distinctive facets of Vietnamese culture and spirituality.
We'll visit a family-run enterprise after that. Your guide will walk you through the interesting steps that go into making ceramic objects, and if you're interested, you may even get to work with the talented artists directly.
Before getting into our car and heading back to Hanoi, don't forget to peruse the quaint items on exhibit at the village's stores.
Return to the city center, stop for lunch (on your own expense), and then see the Temple of Literature, which was constructed in the eleventh century by the Ly dynasty to honor Confucius and instruct Royal children. Savor a stroll through the park to Khue Van Cac, the city's emblem. Next, you will see the "stone steles" of World Heritage that list the names of distinguished pupils. Go on exploring Quoc Tu Giam, which is regarded as Vietnam's first national university.
Proceed by driving through the French Quarter, past the Presidential Palace and the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum to the Hanoi Old Quarter, which was constructed in the fifteenth century as the capital city's commercial hub and has 36 streets filled with a variety of goods.
The Old Quarter is always regarded as a living city museum, regardless of the modifications. The distinctive tube homes, little lanes, temples, open-door marketplaces, and cuisine from street vendors blend harmoniously together. The greatest approach to engage all of your senses is to explore the town on foot.
Enjoying the water puppet acts, which are distinctive performances that date back to the eleventh century, is the last step. Puppets on water depict Vietnamese culture, daily life, and beliefs in these performances. Usually, a traditional music performance is included in the program.
