Highlights
There is so little resemblance with Hanoi that it almost looks like taking a step back in time. Drenched in history, ample examples still vividly move visitors back to the Vietnam of a bygone era and where centuries-old architecture in the form of brick/mud houses are the cornerstone of an unhurried lifestyle.
Duong Lam Village cast an irresistible spell on anyone wandering through narrow alleys, armed with a camera, to get an up-and-close look of an ancient house and temple walls, gates and old water wells. In combination with two other institutions of Vietnamese culture in Hanoi itself, this full-day sums up the authentic side in one word – authenticity

This tradition dates back to the 11th century and has its origin in the villages of Northern Vietnam.
