Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Pass By: Old Quarter, Hanoi 100000 Vietnam
Packed with charming colonial architecture, Buddhist temples and pagodas, the Old Quarter, located near Hoan Kiem Lake in Hoan Kiem District, is Hanoi’s major commercial district. Its heart and soul is exposed in the ancient commercial streets which are named after their original businesses dating back about 1,000 years. Though most of the specialties (cotton, jewellery, herbs, and silk) have changed over time and have been replaced with a variety of modern-day commodities and services, visitors can still appreciate some of the original goods as well as get a feel of rich old Vietnamese customs.
Stop At: Huong Pagoda, Hương Sơn, Mỹ Đức, Hanoi 100000, Vietnam
Make your way to one of Vietnam’s most significant Buddhist sites on a guided day trip from Hanoi. Start your morning with a convenient pick up at your hotel located within the Old Quarters, or meet up with your guide at the designated point before you’re whisked off to the Huong Son District, where you’ll officially begin the day’s activities. Board a row boat and take a relaxing ride along the Yen Stream, where you’ll pass scenic landscapes and enjoy the natural poetic beauty of the surroundings. You’ll then arrive at the Thien Tru Harbor, where you’ll begin your trek up to the Huong Tich cave and finally arrive at the famed Perfume Pagoda, one of the largest and most unique religious sites in Northern Vietnam. The area is comprised of a complex of pagodas where huge numbers of pilgrims flock to to pray for happiness and prosperity in the coming year. Take in the intricate and natural designs within the caves and snap a few photos to take home before heading back to enjoy a delicious local lunch. As the sun sets, you’ll be transported safely back to your hotel.
