Details zu diesem Trip
Vietnam’s rich cultural history spans centuries, mixing influences from China, Indochina, and Europe (particularly France). Visiting some of these pagodas, temples and ancient buildings scattered across North Vietnam will give you a unique insight into the traditions and culture of our country. Let explore it together!

I'm Huyen. I'm an avid traveller (backpacked to 30 countries across Asia and Europe). Everywhere I go I avoid I will be looking for local treasure, and try to avoid tourist traps. I'm passionate about Vietnamese history and traditions. Being a wanna-be Buddhist, I believe that the purpose of each trip is to find peace and joy from within. All the thousand-year-old off-the-beaten-track temples and pagodas in the North Vietnam are the perfect place to slow down and relax, experience local life, understand Vietnamese people's mindset and get an introduction into our local belief system, understanding the Four Buddhist noble truths and Three universal truths. I would be very glad to guide you through that.

Details about the accommodation: The accommodations arranged will be mostly hotels. There won't be hostels or shared places, as this type of accommodation is not common in this part of the country. Hotels will be arranged in some locations closest to the chosen temples/pagodas (within walking distance). Guests will have private rooms and private space. If you have any questions, please reach out in the Q&A section!

Ba Vàng Pagoda

Tag 3-4
On the 3rd day, we will visit two pagodas in Quang Ninh: Loi Am pagoda and Ba Vang Pagoda. Loi Am Pagoda: Being more than 700 years, Loi Am Pagoda is one of the oldest temples in Vietnam. We will have to hike the narrow dirt road through Loi Am mountain, but the scenery will make you feel worth the effort. You will pass through 5 gentle hills and 2 steep hills with unspoiled scenery on both sides of the road with countless lush trees contributing to a fresh and peaceful atmosphere. Loi Am pagoda complex encompasses caves, various pagodas and stops. Ba Vang Pagoda, the temple being one of the largest Buddhist centers in the North with thousands of Buddhists coming to stay each year, is located halfway up a mountain. The pagoda is located on a very beautiful location at an altitude of 340 m, the front is a long river, the back is leaning against the mountain and the two sides are pine forests stretching green. Visiting Ba Vang pagoda at night when all the lights are on is a wonderful experience.

Côn Sơn-Kiếp Bạc

Tag 4-5
Located in Hai Duong province, Con Son-Kiep Bac is not only an ancient architectural complex with beautiful natural landscapes but also two famous historical sites associated with the life and career of two of the most significant Vietnamese national heroes: Tran Quoc Tuan (general) and Nguyen Trai. (poet). Visiting Con Son-Kiep Bac, you will be retracing the steps of these two heroes, learn about their rather "tragic" lives, have an opportunity to play Chinese chess... and so much more.

Duong Lam

Tag 5
More than 50 km from the center of Hanoi, this is a rare place that still retains the intact structure and living habits of an ancient Vietnamese village of more than 300 years old. Visiting Duong Lam, we can witness many valuable historical and cultural relics: Phung Hung communal house, Ngo Quyen temple, Giang Van Minh flower temple… while having a relaxing stroll through the village. After visiting this village, we will return to Hanoi.
