Itinerary
After a short safety briefing and tour introduction, begin the journey from Hanoi’s city center toward the peaceful countryside.
Cross the historic Long Bien Bridge and enjoy scenic views over the Red River, where boats, vegetable farms, and riverside communities reveal a slower and more traditional side of Hanoi.
Continue along small countryside roads through paddy fields, vegetable gardens, guava orchards, and quiet rural villages. Along the way, guests may see farmers working in the fields, locals raising ducks, chickens, cows, and water buffaloes, and village life continuing at a gentle pace.
This part of the journey offers a meaningful contrast between Hanoi’s busy urban streets and the peaceful agricultural lifestyle of the Red River Delta.
Continue to Co Loa Ancient Citadel, one of Vietnam’s most important historical sites and believed to be the country’s oldest citadel. Dating back to the 3rd century BC, Co Loa was once the capital of the Au Lac Kingdom and remains closely connected to Vietnamese legends, ancient military history, and national identity.
Guests will explore the ancient citadel area, learn about its spiral-shaped defensive structure, and hear stories about King An Duong Vuong, Princess My Chau, and the legendary magic crossbow.
This is a fascinating opportunity to understand Vietnam’s early history, mythology, and the deep cultural roots of the Red River civilization.
After visiting Co Loa Ancient Citadel, continue deeper into the surrounding countryside villages to experience the peaceful rhythm of traditional Northern Vietnamese life.
Guests will visit a local family home and discover a beautifully preserved ancient-style house that still reflects the traditional architecture and atmosphere of Northern Vietnam. With its old wooden structure, tiled roof, quiet courtyard, and nostalgic design, the house offers a rare glimpse into how generations of local families once lived in the Red River Delta.
The journey continues to a traditional bonsai garden where guests can admire carefully shaped trees and learn about the Vietnamese appreciation for balance, patience, harmony, and natural beauty — values deeply connected to local culture and daily life.
Along the way, guests may also stop at local village markets and peaceful countryside corners to observe authentic rural life away from the busy city atmosphere.
The experience concludes with a local food stop featuring authentic Hanoi flavors and traditional Vietnamese drinks. Before returning to the hotel, guests will enjoy Hanoi’s famous Egg Coffee — a rich and creamy local specialty that has become one of the capital’s most iconic culinary experiences.
