Hanoi - Ninh Binh 100km - 2h
Visit Phuc Am votive papers villages, explore the Saint Nguyen Temple, attend an embroidery workshop.
Our team will pick you up from your hotel in Hanoi's Old Quarter. We'll then embark on a short drive to the little village of Phuc Am, located approximately 20 kilometers outside of downtown Hanoi. This village is renowned for producing votive papers, used in spiritual rituals at temples, and is considered one of the biggest producers of these papers in the country. During your visit, you'll not only learn how the local people handcraft traditional bamboo baskets, but you'll also gain a deeper understanding of the Vietnamese people's spiritual life.
Afterwards, we'll continue our journey to Ninh Bình. Feel free to request photo stops along the way to capture the picturesque rural landscapes. Ninh Bình, a haven for nature lovers, boasts enchanting moss-covered pagodas, breathtaking limestone karsts, sprawling rice fields, and otherworldly landscapes that will leave you speechless.
Take a journey back in time to uncover an ancient temple that traces its roots to the 12th century. Nestled in the midst of a serene countryside village, a world away from the crowds of mass tourism, this temple pays homage to Zen Master Nguyen Minh Khong. Not only was he the head monk during the Ly dynasty (1009-1225), but he also pioneered treatment methods using Vietnamese herbs and acupuncture. The temple stands as a testament to history, preserving ancient architectural styles and housing a treasure trove of precious relics.
Visit an embroidery village and participate in an embroidery course guided by the local craftswoman, Mrs. Lam. She will proudly explain the techniques of her traditional craft, providing you with a valuable opportunity to practice on fabric like a true craftsman.
