between. Overnight stay in Hanoi.

Noi by the first visit to Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum where the body of Ho
Chi Minh is well kept. Then visit his house built on stilts situated
nearby. Followed by the visit to One Pillar Pagoda, built by the
Emperor Ly Thai Tong in 1049; it was built of wood on a single stone
pillar, designed to resemble a lotus blossom which is a symbol of
purity. Afterward, go for the Temple of Literature with its dominant
traditional Vietnamese architecture, dedicated to Confucian cult
which broke the Buddhist monopoly in education; the temple was then
regarded as the site of the first university of Vietnam. Continue
the route to the Fine Arts museum which gathers a collection of
prestigious artifacts of Vietnam. Historical Museum is the next

Day4: Ha Long
Touch Ha Long in close-up with a
full morning boat cruise on Ha Long Bay, a bay of wonder with
thousands of islets and islands scattering throughout an area of 150
square kilometers. The local people use their imagination to flow
the spirit into those mindless, timeless limestone and rocky islands
and make them lovelier, livelier and attractive with names such as
fighting cock islet, human head islet, golden tortoise and Ha Long
itself means “descending dragon”. On the cruise, you will visit
three wonderful grottos, Dau Go grotto, Thien Cung grotto, and Tam
Cung grotto before returning to Ha Noi for overnight.

a famous Buddhist Huong Pagoda. On the boat trip, you will pass the
picturesquely pastoral view of Vietnam; green paddy fields along the
river, dotted with flowered trees will make you immersed in
magnificent nature, and make your trip worthy, absolutely. After
being calm by the pilgrimage, you will also be refreshing with the
pleasant and peaceful atmosphere around the Pagoda. Overnight stay
in Ha Noi.
