Step back in time as you cycle through Duong Lam, Vietnam’s first officially recognized ancient village, known for its centuries-old laterite houses, narrow alleyways, and rich cultural heritage.

Depart from Hanoi at 8:30 AM for a scenic journey west of the capital to Duong Lam Ancient Village, one of the best-preserved traditional villages in Northern Vietnam. Known as the birthplace of two national heroes, Ngo Quyen and Phung Hung, Duong Lam offers visitors a unique opportunity to experience authentic rural life and centuries-old Vietnamese architecture.
Upon arrival, visit Ngo Quyen Temple and Phung Hung Temple, two important historical sites dedicated to the legendary leaders who played significant roles in Vietnam’s history. Continue exploring the village by bicycle, passing through peaceful lanes and traditional houses that have been preserved for hundreds of years.
Cycle to Mia Pagoda, a remarkable 15th-century Buddhist temple renowned for its collection of 287 ancient statues. Highlights include the impressive Buddha statue and the famous sculptures of the Eight Vajra Deities. Along the way, discover the daily life of local farmers, picturesque village landscapes, and a beautifully preserved 200-year-old traditional house.
Enjoy a delicious Vietnamese lunch served in a historic ancient house, offering an authentic taste of local cuisine. In the afternoon, take a leisurely walk through the narrow brick alleys of Mong Phu Hamlet to visit Mong Phu Communal House, the cultural heart of Duong Lam Village. Meet local residents and gain insight into the customs and traditions that have shaped village life for generations.
