Inclusions

Itinerary

1. You’ll start out early with a dawn exploration of (the lesser-known) train street, and morning tai chi and aerobics at Reunification Park. We then head over to the city's infamous Thieves Market. We’ll take a photographic wander through the tight, atmospheric alleyways here, before dropping by a retirees’ ping pong club, housed in an unforgettable location.

   4 h

2. We jump into our private car and head one hour south to Cu Da village. This is one of the best-preserved ancient villages within reach of the city center, specializing in the manufacture of vermicelli noodles. We’ll explore the atmospheric backstreets, then photograph locals drying vermicelli in fields of dazzling gold. We'll grab lunch nearby, and review our photos at a peaceful cafe. Next stop is nearby Quang Phu Cau village. Here we’ll capture incredible images of incense arranged in the sun - a rhapsody in red just made for travel photographers. We'll also explore the village's busy workshops, taking photos at all stages of the fascinating process.

   8 h

3. Time to head back to Hanoi. You’ll be dropped off at your hotel in order to get refreshed, have dinner and get ready for the night tour, with pick-up at 7:30 pm. We now head out for our final adventure in the capital, a night photography tour exploring incredible Long Bien market. As couriers and traders bring in their stock for the next day, we’ll capture all the action, ending our adventure with a uniquely Hanoi experience.

About Hanoi

Hanoi, Vietnam's capital, mixes lakeside temples, French colonial boulevards and an Old Quarter where street food and scooters fill every lane.

The Old Quarter's narrow streets, each once devoted to a single trade, sit just north of Hoan Kiem Lake, where the red Huc Bridge leads to the Temple of the Jade Mountain. Wander at dawn to see tai chi by the water, or after dark when the pavements fill with food stalls and low plastic stools.

Top-ranked sights in Hanoi: Ha Long Bay, Hanoi Old Quarter, Long Bien Bridge (Cau Long Bien).
