You will be greeted by your Golden Trail Travel guide and driver at your hotel in Hanoi, ready to embark on an exciting adventure. Our first destination is Duong Lam village, a charming agricultural village in the Northern Red River delta known for its well-preserved centuries-old houses.
After approximately two hours of travel, we will arrive at Duong Lam village and begin our exploration by visiting Mong Phu temple. This unique hamlet is the only one that still retains its original village entrance gate, offering a glimpse into the village’s rich history.
As we stroll along the ancient alleys, you’ll have the opportunity to engage in conversations with the friendly locals who call these historic houses their home. To add to the authenticity of the experience, we will enjoy a delicious lunch in one of these ancient houses.
After lunch, we’ll hop on our bicycles and embark on a leisurely tour to visit two significant temples: Ngo Quyen and Phu Hung. Our first stop is the Mia Pagoda, located in another hamlet within Duong Lam village. This beautifully constructed pagoda dates back to the 15th century and houses an impressive collection of 287 statues of varying sizes.
Take your time to explore the intricate details of the pagoda before we continue our cycling journey to Ngo Quyen and Phung Hung temples. These sacred sites pay tribute to two legendary Vietnamese kings, Phung Hung (761-802) and Ngo Quyen (896-944), both born in Duong Lam. These heroic leaders played pivotal roles in Vietnam’s history, leading successful resistance wars against northern invasions. The temples stand as enduring symbols of their courage and leadership.
As our cycling adventure draws to a close, we’ll cycle back to Duong Lam village, where our vehicle will be waiting to take us back to Hanoi. Around 17:00, we will arrive back in Hanoi and drop you off at your hotel, marking the completion of your unforgettable Hanoi Cycling Trip Duong Lam Ancient Village 1 Day.
