    You’ll begin the day with an outside visit to the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum, where your guide will share stories about the revered leader who spearheaded Vietnam’s independence from French rule. From there, take a short walk through the surrounding grounds to see the One Pillar Pagoda and the Presidential Palace.

    Your morning continues at the Temple of Literature, Vietnam’s first university. Built nearly a thousand years ago, this peaceful site honors the teachings of Confucius through its courtyards and elegant traditional architecture.

    In the afternoon, you’ll head to Hoa Lo Prison, famously nicknamed the “Hanoi Hilton” by American POWs. This historic site, originally built by the French, holds powerful reminders of Vietnam’s colonial and wartime history.

    Next, hop on a cyclo for a leisurely ride through the bustling Old Quarter. Each of the 36 streets here is known for a specific trade—some, like Tin and Bamboo Streets, still keep these traditions alive.

    Your walking tour ends at Ngoc Son Temple, set on a small island in Hoan Kiem Lake. Here, you’ll hear the legend of a magic sword, a heroic emperor, and a mythical turtle that gave the lake its name.

    Meals are at your own arrangement. Overnight at your hotel.

    By 12:30 PM, step aboard the cruise and enjoy another refreshing welcome drink while the cruise manager shares a safety briefing. Soon, the boat will begin its journey across the stunning Ha Long Bay.

    At 01:00 PM, your holiday truly begins with a delicious lunch served in the onboard restaurant.

    Around 03:00 PM, head out on your first adventure, kayak or hop on a rowing boat to explore the tranquil Luon Cave, then visit Titop Island where you can either swim in the emerald water or hike up to enjoy panoramic views of the bay.

    Return to the cruise around 5:00 PM to unwind and watch the sun dip below the limestone peaks. Dinner will be served at 7:00 PM in the elegant restaurant.
    After dinner, you’re free to enjoy the evening your way, whether it’s squid fishing, singing karaoke, pampering yourself at the spa, or simply relaxing on the deck.

    Note: For convenience, it’s best to pack a small overnight bag for the cruise and leave your large suitcase at your Hanoi hotel’s reception for collection the next day.

    After enjoying breakfast at the hotel, you’ll have the entire morning free to unwind, either by relaxing in your room, lounging by the pool, or exploring the peaceful surroundings at your own pace.

    At 02:00 PM, your afternoon adventure begins with a boat trip to Cam Thanh Village, often referred to as the coconut kingdom. As you glide along the waterways, you’ll witness firsthand how local fishermen live and work. This experience offers a closer look at the daily routines of a traditional riverside community, from casting fishing nets to navigating basket boats through the coconut groves.

    Following the visit to the village, you’ll return to Hoi An Ancient Town for a walking tour through its historic core. As you wander the narrow lanes, you’ll visit the famous Japanese Covered Bridge, admire the architecture of Chinese-style streets and old merchant houses like Phung Hung, and browse the bustling Hoi An Market.

    If your visit happens to coincide with the 1st or 15th day of the lunar calendar, you’ll experience one of Hoi An’s most magical traditions: the lantern-lit night. On these evenings, the town glows with hundreds of colorful lanterns, creating a romantic and unforgettable atmosphere.

    By evening, your guide will bring you back to your hotel. Overnight in Hoi An.

    Let’s enjoy a relaxing day exploring the vibrant city of Da Nang at your own pace.

    In the morning, you can begin with a peaceful walk or swim at My Khe Beach, where the soft waves and sea breeze offer a calm start to the day. Afterwards, take a scenic drive to Linh Ung Pagoda on Son Tra Peninsula. Here, the towering Lady Buddha statue and panoramic coastal views create a serene and spiritual experience.

    For lunch, we suggest heading to a local seaside restaurant to enjoy Da Nang’s fresh seafood specialties, such as grilled fish and steamed clams seasoned with fragrant Vietnamese herbs.

    In the afternoon, dive into local culture at the Cham Museum, home to rare sculptures from the Champa Kingdom. Then, stop by Han Market, where you can shop for souvenirs, try local snacks, or simply enjoy the lively atmosphere.

    As the sun begins to set, stroll along the Love Bridge, a popular riverside spot offering romantic views of the Dragon Bridge and skyline. If you’re here on a weekend, stay for the 09:00 PM fire and water show at Dragon Bridge, a stunning spectacle that lights up the night.

    End your day with a relaxing dinner by the Han River, where sparkling lights and gentle music create the perfect setting to reflect on your Da Nang journey.
