Visit to the Temple of Literature, the Bat Trang pottery hamlet, a drive through the Old Quarter, and a water puppet performance

8:30 AM: Departure from your accommodation for Bat Trang, which is located 20 kilometers from the center of Hanoi 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 (at 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.

Return to your hotel now. The last service of the day

Seeing the historic city of Hoa Lu, trekking to the Bich Dong pagoda, and taking a boat ride in Tam Coc.

8:00 A.M. Meet your driver and tour guide at the hotel, then head to Ninh Binh, a fantastic location rich in historical, cultural, religious, and natural attractions. Make whatever stops you want to take photographs of while traveling across the Red River delta.

Visit Hoa Lu, which served as Vietnam's capital throughout the tenth and eleventh centuries. Surrounded by limestone mountains and rivers, the fortress is naturally protected and provides an incredibly magnificent backdrop.

On arriving at Hoa Lu, you will see the temples dedicated to Emperor Dinh Tien Hoang of the Dinh Dynasty (968-80), and Emperor Le Dai Hanh of the Le Dynasty (980-1009) who played a significant part in achieving the country’s freedom after it was governed by China for a thousand years. The fact that both temples date back to the 17th century shows how much the King's efforts were respected.

Continue your excursion to the Bich Dong, a classic 15th-century Red River Delta pagoda located in the countryside. Once there, a stone bridge will take you to Chua Ha, from where you may ascend more than 100 stairs to reach Chua Trung, the cave pagoda with the unusual clay figurines. After that, you'll climb up to Chua Thuong. Not only can you get knowledge about Buddhism, but you can also take in breathtaking views of the countryside.

Before traveling to Tam Coc, which is referred to as "Halong Bay on land" and featured in the well-known French film "Indochina," enjoy lunch at a nearby restaurant. You will board a private sampan boat at the port and cruise the Ngo Dong River for ninety minutes.
