• Old Quarter - Morning Schedule:
  Between 7:15 am and 7:30 am, guests will be picked up from hotels or accommodations in the Hanoi Old Quarter area. The guide will meet guests in the hotel lobby, confirm their names at the reception, and then transport them to Quang Phu Cau Incense Village, which is approximately a 1.5-hour drive.

• Quảng Phú Cầu - Begin the journey at Quang Phu Cau Incense Village, where the vibrant display of incense sticks drying in the sun offers a unique and picturesque scene. Explore the traditional art of incense making, an important part of Vietnamese culture and spirituality.

Note: In case of rain, the incense display will not be visible, and the tour will instead visit Bat Trang pottery village (a 45-minute drive) for a pottery workshop. Here, artisans create ceramic products for both domestic use and export. Guests will also have the opportunity to make a sample piece with guidance from an instructor.

• Hoa Lo Prison - Afternoon Schedule:

After lunch, the tour continues with a visit to Hoa Lo Prison, initially used by French colonists in Indochina for political prisoners, and later by North Vietnam for U.S. prisoners of war during the Vietnam War. During this period, it was known to American POWs as the “Hanoi Hilton.” The Hoa Lo Prison Museum in Hanoi, Vietnam, is a must-see for its historical importance and fascinating exhibits.

• Temple of Literature & National University - Next, visit the Temple of Literature, Vietnam’s first university established in the 10th century. Learn about Confucianism and traditional Vietnamese education, featuring the Khue Van Pavilion and Doctor Stelas on turtle’s backs.
