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.

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.

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.

At the end of the day, take pleasure in the water puppet plays, which are distinctive performances that date back to the eleventh century. Puppets on water depict Vietnamese culture, daily life, and beliefs in these performances. Usually, a traditional music performance is included in the program.
