Duong Lam Ancient Village Tour

On the outskirts of Hanoi, there are many enclaves that stand frozen in time; sanctuaries for the ancient and traditional in the shadow of an increasingly modernized city. The Duong Lam Ancient Village Tour shows you the contrast between the capital and its suburbs, where steel skyscrapers give way to redbrick cottages and the rush of the traffic yields to the plod of the buffalo.

Culture and tradition are steeped high in the western outskirts of Hanoi, found best at Son Tay’s ancient citadel and the laterite architecture of Duong Lam village. This day trip from Hanoi takes its guests back in time, through visits to sites of historical intrigue and national reverence. We walk and cycle between enchanting buildings that represent the determination of Duong Lam’s residents to keep their special and truly unique identity alive.
