The tour begins as your driver and local guide escort you out of the city center, heading west toward the picturesque countryside of the former Ha Tay province. The first destination is Tay Phuong Pagoda, one of the oldest in the country, with its origins tracing back to the 7th or 8th century. Recognized as a Special National Vestige, this pagoda is renowned for its exquisite traditional architecture and meticulously preserved artworks, particularly the lifelike sculptures of the 18 Buddhist Arhats.

The journey continues with a short drive to the ancient village of Duong Lam, a remarkable site that has earned UNESCO Heritage status. This rural village, once forgotten, now stands as a stunning testament to traditional architecture, used both in daily life and for religious purposes. Strolling through the village, you’ll be transported back in time, with its decorative rooflines and weathered brick lanes evoking a bygone era. For those who prefer a more relaxed experience, you can enjoy a refreshing drink at a local café, engaging with the friendly villagers.

After your visit, your driver will be ready to take you back to your hotel, ensuring a comfortable end to your journey.
