Overview of your Hanoi tour

A journey to Duong Lam village is a trip to trace back the origin of Vietnam's culture and Vietnam's traditions. This is also a great chance to explore the architecture of ancient houses while wandering along its narrow alleyways, visiting temples dedicated to the two kings born there, and most interesting of all, chatting with locals living in the ancient houses. Become immersed in Vietnamese culture and heritage with an excursion to the ancient village of Duong Lam. Wander through its narrow alleyways to discover 400-year-old houses and unusual local temples. Hear tales of the past from locals and see their way of life which remains mostly untouched by the modern world.
