Brief Vietnam 17-Day Itinerary<\/h2>\n
Day 1:<\/strong> Hanoi Arrival Starting your 2 weeks in Vietnam, warmly welcomed by our tour guide and driver, then we transfer to our hotel. Being the capital of Vietnam for over one thousand years, Hanoi has gone through its ups and downs as a nation. Nowadays, Hanoi is the center of the history, culture, economy, politics, etc. of Vietnam. Besides, Hanoi is also a harmonious combination between fine values of tradition and modern features of a developing city. The rest of the day is leisure time for us.<\/p>\n Overnight in Hanoi.<\/strong><\/p>\n A full day of exploring outstanding Hanoi attractions with antique features of the long-standing city, a different view of Hanoi which is changing its look every day, and experience as a truly Hanoian. Morning itinerary with bike tour starting from West Lake (Ho Tay)<\/strong>. Known as the green lung of the whole city, West Lake is the largest lake in Hanoi. Escape from noisy streets, we pedal our bicycles around the lake and enjoy the fresh air of the early morning and peaceful landscapes before visiting well-known historical sites surrounding the lake including Vietnam\u2019s oldest pagoda, Tran Quoc,<\/strong> and Quan Thanh Temple<\/strong>\u00a0 – one of the most sacred temples in Vietnam.<\/p>\n Along the way, we stop to visit an ancient pagoda to get more insights into a different religion \u2013 Buddhism and a lakeside coffee shop to have a break and enjoy a drink before continuing our trip. In mid-morning, transfer by car to the Temple of Literature<\/strong>, we set foot at the first national university of Vietnam built in the Ly Dynasty (1009-1225). At present, apart from being a place to worship Confucius and scholars with 82 stone Stelaes of Doctors shaped like turtles, Temple Literature is also a well-known site attracting both Vietnamese and international tourists to visit. According to the Vietnamese\u2019s idealistic concept, they believe that visiting the Temple of Literature before taking important exams will bring them good luck. Besides, during Tet Holiday<\/strong>, Vietnamese also come to this temple to receive best wishes about their family, health and career, etc. in Han characters written by calligraphists.<\/p>\n Have lunch with Vietnamese traditional dish \u2013 \u201cph\u1edf\u201d (noodle soup) and then enjoy some tasty desserts like fried rice and sticky sweet treats in Trang Tien Street which was filled up with many narrow alleys and food stalls along streets. Afternoon sightseeing with a tour guide introduces us to Hanoi\u2019s contemporary features including favorites attractions of youngsters like Hanoi Creative City and The Yard. Located on 6 floors of a building, Hanoi Creative City is a combination of entertainment zones, food and beverage zones, and shopping zones created by young Hanoians. Discover youthfulness and eventfulness which we can find through unique works of art on walls and old containers or fairs that take place annually there. Similarly, The Yard is also a combination of Hanoi Creative City but built-in Western-style with imitation of London\u2019s Shoreditch and Borough Market.<\/p>\n Leave those splendid sites, we visit Manzi Art Caf\u00e9<\/strong> \u2013 part nice caf\u00e9 and bar, a part cool art gallery in an ancient French villa to enjoy the authentic taste of Vietnamese coffee or a glass of wine and contemplate paintings, sculptures, and photographs before walking to Old Quarter<\/strong> which is not too far from here. At Old Quarter, we start exploring the hustling and bustling atmosphere and daily life of local people in the most eventful streets in Hanoi with narrow alleys intersected like a maze and a thousand food stalls, street vendors, traditional workshops, souvenir shops, restaurants, and pagodas located alternately together. Interestingly, each street is named by the kind of product sold. For instance, \u201cH\u00e0ng B\u1ea1c\u201d sells silver stuff, \u201cH\u00e0ng B\u00f4ng\u201d sells cotton quilts, etc. End the tour by enjoying a cool fresh beer in Ta Hien Street \u2013 one of the most famous streets for foreigners in Hanoi.
