Hanoi Typical villages 1 Day

Full Day

Hanoi – Bat Trang ceramic – But Thap pagoda- Dong Ky wood carving village 70 km

Departure at: 8:30 A.M from Hanoi
The scenery of rural Hanoi fascinates as we ride along the Red River to the south and head to Bat Trang pottery village, the place where high-end pottery has been produced for many millennia. If you desire, you can try your hand at the ancient way of handmade ceramics!
Following this experience, our ride continues through scenic places, including rice terrace fields. We visit the But Thap pagoda, a name given by King Tu Duc in 1876 when he saw the beautiful stone stupa shaped like a pen at this pagoda,  previously known as Ninh Phuc Tu (Pagoda of Peace and Happiness).
We then continue riding along the riverside, where you will have ample time to stop for a while and take photos of the amazing landscape, or quench your thirst before some more exploration!
Our next stop is at the Bon Sai  village, which was only really developed strongly in the 20th century, when the local people began to realize the value of bonsai trees, flowers, and other types of bonsai in decorating living spaces.With an area of nearly 3,000 m2, more than 4,000 bonsai works are meticulously shaped and positioned by the skillful hands of artisans. 
We will eat lunch at a local restaurant and then get back to some more riding. This part of the tour includes trails not everybody knows of that will allow you to explore the countryside even deeper, as you hear remarkable guide stories all the way! As we travel from the Dike River, through mulberry fields, and from temples to war memorials, one thing is for sure: this is a tour that will leave you with a sweet taste in the mouth and a hunger to further explore more of Vietnam and its endless beauty.
