Vietnam: Hanoi suburbs

  • Learn about Hanoi's village life, traditions, and customs.
  • Walk and cycle through the villages, visiting local markets, old houses, worshipping temples, and communal houses.
  • Enjoy a small food demonstration before lunch at a local family’s house.
  • Take a short drive to Lien Mac, a beautiful area of immaculately tended vegetable and flower fields.
  • Hop on the bike again for a close-up view of the colorful fields and a chance to chat with local people tending to their crops.
  • Stop by a ‘tofu family’ to explore how they make tofu, and try their fresh products.
  

Amid Hanoi’s expanding suburbs are numerous villages which, although no longer geographically distinct, maintain their traditions and offer the visitor a chance to step inside the soul of Vietnamese society. Dong Ngac Village, less than 15km from central Hanoi, is one such a place.
