At 08:00 AM, begin the day with a transfer from your hotel to Quang Phu Cau incense village. You can witness here the serene beauty of the Northern countryside, where the air is filled with soothing aromas of incense and cinnamon. The village is a mix of old traditions and a touch of modernity, offering you a serene getaway while locals go about practicing ancient crafts.

Then we will return to Hanoi at 11:00 AM. Take lunch at a Vietnamese or Indian restaurant (you pay for it), and in the afternoon, we will explore the ancient Old Quarter. Stroll along its charming streets, absorbing the atmosphere of Hanoi’s rich past, before visiting Hoan Kiem Lake to view Turtle Tower and Ngoc Son Temple.

Next, we will visit Train Street in Phung Hung Ward. You can take a drink and wait for the train to pass by, all beneath the night sky. Then, we will head back to the hotel. Dinner is your choice, and you will have some time to unwind in the evening.

After a great breakfast at the hotel, you’ll transfer by cruise to the stunning Halong Bay in Northern Vietnam.

Upon arrival, embark on the boat and sail amidst emerald waters with the backdrop of towering limestone karsts. We will stop at a beautiful grotto to explore its stalactites and stalagmites.

Join in on activities like kayaking, cooking class, and Tai Chi on the cruise (feel free to participate or simply relax). Vegetarian meals are provided. You will be having meals on the boat, where you will also be sleeping at night. Halong Bay is lovely, and we can’t wait for you to see it.

After a delicious breakfast, let’s relax and soak up the sun while enjoying the stunning views of the bay aboard the cruise. Around 10:00 AM, indulge in a tasty brunch before we begin our journey back to Hanoi.

You will arrive in Hanoi by 03:00 PM.
