Tour Description
Most visitors to Vietnam are overwhelmed by the sublime beauty of the country's natural setting: the Red River Delta in the north, the Mekong Delta in the south and almost the entire coastal strip are a patchwork of brilliant green rice paddies tended by women in conical hats. There are some divine beaches along the coast, while inland there are soaring mountains, some of which are cloaked by dense, misty forests. Vietnam also offers an opportunity to see a country of traditional charm and rare beauty rapidly opening up to the outside world.
Itinerary
Vietnam Experience 2012 10 day tour
Day 1 ARRIVE IN HO CHI MINH CITY -
Today when you arrive in Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon) you will be met after clearing Customs & Immigration and transferred to your hotel for check-in.
Normal check-in time at the hotel is 14:00.
Overnight:Caravelle Hotel or InterContinental Asiana Saigon – 2 nights
Day 2 HO CHI MINH CITY BREAKFAST, LUNCH, DINNER
In the morning journey out of the city center to the Cu Chi region, where you will visit the vast underground network of tunnels built first as a defense against the French, and later expanded during the American (Vietnam) war. It was from here that the North Vietnamese waged their guerrilla warfare; see secret trapdoors, underground kitchens, living areas and meeting rooms.
The more adventurous may explore the deeper second, and even third level tunnels. For those preferring to remain above ground, there is ample opportunity to view excavated areas from above. Your guide will advise you of the length and level of difficulty of each tunnel before entering. We recommend good walking shoes and sun protection for this tour and advise you may get a little dirty.
Return to Saigon and your hotel to freshen up followed by lunch in a local restaurant and an afternoon tour of the city. Ho Chi Minh is the largest of Vietnamese cities, with hustle and bustle of Vietnamese life visible everywhere. There are street markets, sidewalk cafes and sleek new bars. The city churns and bubbles. Yet within this teeming metropolis are 300 years of timeless traditions and the beauty of an ancient culture. To the west of the city is District 5, the huge Chinese neighborhood called Cholon, which means “Big Market”.
Visit the Reunification Palace, the Independence Palace of the South Vietnamese President; it was stormed by tanks on April 30, 1975, signifying the fall of South Vietnam. It has been preserved in its original state. Then, the History Museum. This was once the National Museum of the Republic of Vietnam. The museum has an excellent collection of artifacts illustrating the evolution of the cultures of Vietnam, from the Bronze Age Dong Son civilization to the Oc-Eo civilization to the Chams, Khmers and Vietnamese.
Afterwards you will visit one of Saigon’s top art galleries, such as the Tudo Gallery or the Particular Gallery, which exhibit the works of the best contemporary Vietnamese artists.
Dinner this evening is at a local Vietnamese restaurant.
Overnight:Caravelle Hotel or InterContinental Asiana Saigon
Day 3 HO CHI MINH CITY-HOI AN-DANANG BREAKFAST, LUNCH
After breakfast at the hotel this morning, you will be driven to the airport for your flight to Danang- about 1 hour.
Sightseeing in Danang: Danang is a thriving regional center, one of the largest cities in Vietnam. Tour the Cham Museum, an elegant colonial building which now houses the finest collection of Cham sculpture in the world and pass China Beach, a famous spot for American soldiers during the Vietnam War. It stretches for many miles north and south of the Marble Mountains.
Then, continue south to Hoi An, stopping en route to visit the Marble Mountains, five stone hillocks, once islands, that now rise sharply from the surrounding ricefields. Riddled with caves and shrines, they are said to each represent one of the five elements of the universe. Hoi An is a picturesque riverside town south of Danang. Known as Faifo to early western traders, it was one of Southeast Asia’s major international ports during the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries. Now, this beautifully preserved historic city is best seen on foot.
You will enjoy a walking tour that will include the Japanese Covered Bridge Pagoda - the first bridge on this site was constructed in 1593 by the Japanese community of Hoi An to link the town with the Chinese quarter across the stream. The bridge was provided with a roof so it could be used as a shelter from rain and sun. The Sa Huynh Museum: located near the Japanese Covered Bridge, it contains exhibits from the earliest period of Hoi An’s history. The Tran Family Chapel: this house for worshipping ancestors was built about 200 years ago with donations from family members. The Tran family traces its origins to China and moved to Vietnam around 1700. The architecture of the building reflects the influence of Chinese and Japanese styles. You will also visit the Phuoc Kien Assembly Hall- a Chinese Pagoda built around 1690 and then restored and enlarged in 1900. It is typical of the Chinese clans that were established in the Hoi An area. The temple is dedicated to Thien Hau Thanh Mau (Goddess of the Sea and Protector of Sailors and Fisherman). Finally, you will visit one of the lantern making workshops in Hoi An. Learn about this industry and observe locals making silk cloth for the lanterns.
Overnight:Furama Resort Danang – 2 nights
Day 04 DANANG BREAKFAST, LUNCH
Today enjoy a full day tour of My Son, often referred to as the “Angkor Wat” of Vietnam, the Cham ruins at My Son are well worth the slightly arduous journey needed to reach them!
Your day will begin with an early morning drive from Danang through 60km of rolling countryside, passing through small towns with markets in full swing, often journeying alongside the wide reaches of the Han River. As you draw closer to My Son, which translates literally as “Beautiful Mountain” the condition of the road begins to deteriorate and the last few kilometers of track are often rutted and potholed. On arrival at the My Son area and after crossing a bamboo “Monkey Bridge” you will transfer to a local jeep for the last spectacular 3 km bump and jolt along a river gorge. Finally, a 500m walk through lush hillsides, trees and brush, before emerging into the main site.
There were over 70 classic Cham monuments at My Son, dating from the 7th to 13th centuries. Set against the backdrop of the appropriately named Cat’s Tooth Mountain, they are an awesome sight. Until 1968 they remained, remarkably, in almost perfect condition, having been sheltered from the worst excesses of weather surrounding the hills. Regrettably however, man achieved what nature could not and B52 bombers destroyed most of the towers when My Son found itself in a free-fire zone during the Vietnam War.
Your guide will offer full commentary on the Cham heritage of My Son while you wander at will around this most historic site. Take the opportunity to do so now, as My Son is due to become part of UNESCO’s protected monuments list and access may well be restricted in the future.
Lunch will be served at a local restaurant en route back to Danang, or a picnic lunch will be provided in good weather.
Overnight:Furama Resort Danang
Day 5 DANANG-HUE BREAKFAST, LUNCH
This morning we depart for the spectacular overland drive to Hue, the former imperial capital.
Visitors to Hue are often taken aback to discover that the sleepy provincial town of Hue was once the religious, economic and cultural epi-center of Vietnam, the mighty imperial headquarters, indeed the actual political capital of the country until 1945. That this glorious architectural masterpiece of a city was reduced almost completely to rubble during the French and American Wars is indeed a tragedy in the truest sense of the word.
Thirteen Nguyen Dynasty Emperors ruled Vietnam from Hue. They built a fortress around the ancient city, modeled on Beijing’s Forbidden City. Even this seemingly impenetrable defense though was useless against some of the most intensive hand-to –hand combat of the Vietnam War, during the Tet offensive of 1968, when the proud city of Hue was reduced to ruins and thousands were killed. Hue today has regained its royal demeanor and is a calm, peaceful and relaxed place to visit. The remaining French colonial garden houses and villas, the quiet streets, the riverbanks, the outlying tombs and pagodas all give Hue a unique atmosphere of tranquility.
Enjoy an Imperial Citadel and Dong Ba Market tour. In the very early 19th century, when the Nguyen Dynasty administered Vietnam from Hue, the Emperor Gia Long commenced construction of a mighty citadel from where he could both live and rule. The resulting Imperial Citadel was modeled on the Forbidden City in Beijing, unfortunately however, it suffered much damage during the years of war. Many of the pavilions, bridges, libraries and great halls are now being carefully restored with help from UNESCO. Marvel at the legends of the Nguyen Dynasty emperors who built the fortress and lived within its moated walls for nearly 150 years.
The remainder of the afternoon may be spent wandering the stalls at the local Dong Ba market, or spend free time along the Perfume River bank.
Overnight:La Residence Hotel & Spa or Pilgrimage Village – 2 nights
Day 6 HUE BREAKFAST, LUNCH, DINNER
Today you will depart for a Perfume River Cruise to Thien Mu Pagoda & Minh Mang Tomb and the Tombs of the Emperors Tour. One of the most notable features of Hue is the meandering Perfume (Huong) River that divides the city. As both the Imperial Citadel and the Thien Mu Pagoda are situated on the riverbanks, boating on a simple yet comfortable vessel offers a relaxing alternative to road travel.
Visit Thien Mu Pagoda by boat and then continue by boat to the less visited and perhaps most majestic of all of Hue’s tombs- the tomb of Ming Mang. Built between 1841 and 1843, this tomb is well known for its harmonious blend of architecture and natural landscape, and is the ideal location for a picnic lunch. Alternatively, we can return to town for lunch at a local restaurant.
The Tombs of the Emperors Tour (Tu Duc & Khai Dinh Tombs). The hills surrounding Hue are dotted with the tombs of the Nguyen dynasty emperors. Built not only as an eternal resting place, the tombs were designed for recreation; somewhere the Emperor could fish, hunt and enjoy the company of concubines in his twilight years. This tour combines visits to two of the most contrasting tombs. First, visit the tomb of Emperor Tu Doc, resplendent in traditional architecture, paved walkways, resting pavilions overlooking tranquil lotus ponds, and a small forest for hunting. In stark contrast, continue to Khai Dinh’s Tomb. Remembered as the “Puppet Emperor” because of his affiliation with the French, this tomb was designed with colonial flair, and a glass mosaic frieze dominates the interior. For the fit and willing, it is possible to cycle to the tombs.
Dinner tonight will be at the Tropical Garden Restaurant.
Overnight:La Residence Hotel & Spa or Pilgrimage Village
Day 7 HUE-HANOI BREAKFAST, LUNCH
Today you will be driven to the airport for your flight to Hanoi. Upon arrival, you will be met and taken to your hotel for check in, followed by lunch at a local restaurant.
Although Hanoi is the modern-day capital of Vietnam, it still retains the mystery and charm of past centuries. Narrow lanes and traditional shops invite exploration, while Hanoi’s beautiful public spaces – lakes, parks, tree-lined boulevards and monuments – give the city an air of elegance and harmony with nature, unique among Asia’s capitals.
In the afternoon take to the streets on foot for a walking tour of the Ancients Quarter or 36 Streets District. This densely populated corner of the city was once a center of commerce where goods were sold under the street name of a particular guild. Still a thriving community of sellers today, you will see street names such as Sugar Street, Tin Street and Paper Street. Ancient homes and temples are interspersed with stores in this souvenir hunter’s paradise!
Visit and enter a selection of local artists’ homes open almost as public galleries and are often managed by interesting characters. One of these, Mai Gallery, is one of the countries’ most respected and renowned. The owner Mr. Doung Tuong is the center of Hanoi’s intellectual community of writers, composers and artists and spent time during the war as Vietnam’s foremost English translator (he translated for Jane Fonda during her visit to Hanoi during the war).
This evening you will be taken to the theater where the ancient and unique art form of water puppetry is enacted. The ‘stage’ is a pool of water in which the hidden puppeteer must stand (waist deep!) to skillfully maneuver the dancing puppets attached to bamboo poles on its surface. Each short skit in the performance relates to the daily life of the people, and featured are scenes such as ‘Returning from School After graduation’ and ‘Rearing ducks and chasing foxes’.
Overnight:Sofitel Legend Metropole Hanoi Hotel or Hilton Hanoi Opera – 3 nights
Day 8 HANOI BREAKFAST, LUNCH, DINNER
After breakfast at the hotel, depart with your guide for a private city tour of Hanoi. Combine a morning tour of Ba Dinh Square including Ho Chi Minh’s Mausoleum, Museum and cottage, with an afternoon Hanoi highlights tour for a thorough exploration of this “Paris of the Orient”. Lunch is included at one of Hanoi’s superb local restaurants.
VisitBa Dinh Square, where silent sentries guard the marble and granite mausoleum where Ho Chi Minh lies in state. See the simple cottage where Uncle Ho lived and worked. Nearby, visit the Ho Chi Minh Museum , an extraordinary tribute in abstract form to the life of the father of the country and the evolution of Vietnamese independence.
French architecture is a feature of Hanoi, and the nearby former Governor’s residence is a fine example. You will also see the One Pillar Pagoda, and hear the legend of its construction, born from the love of an emperor in the 11th century.
Enjoy an orientation of the tree-lined streets of Hanoi, with its French colonial architecture, including the recently restored Opera House. Pass by Hoan Kiem Lake, also known as Lake of the Restored Sword from the legend that surrounds it, en route to the Temple of Literature. Built in 1070 and then dedicated to Confucius, and later becoming Vietnam’s first university, it is a serene retreat from the bust streets outside.
After lunch, you will visit the interesting Museum of Ethnology, arguably the most informative museum in the country. Walk through an outstanding collection and array of artifacts and displays depicting life in the ethnic mountain areas of the country, and the traditions of the 54 different ethnic groups.
Dine tonight in elegance at Hanoi’s premier fine dining restaurant - Wild Rice.
Overnight:Sofitel Legend Metropole Hanoi Hotel or Hilton Hanoi Opera
Day 9 HANOI-HALONG BAY-HANOI BREAKFAST, LUNCH, DINNER
Halong Bay is often called Vietnam’s eighth wonder of the world, and once visited, it is hard to dispute that claim. 3000 spectacular limestone outcroppings, cliffs, arches and coves compete for space in an area that is without doubt the most naturally beautiful in the country.
After breakfast, you will travel across the port city of Haiphong to the massive area of Halong.
From here we will take a traditional Chinese-style sailing junk and meander through the area whose name translates as ‘Where the Dragon descends into the sea”, stop off at an islet and climb through a series of breathtaking caves and grottoes, marveling at some of the most impressive stalactite and stalagmite formations anywhere in the world.
Enjoy a local seafood lunch on board the boat and mid-afternoon you will return to Hanoi by road.
Finally, enjoy a farewell dinner tonight at the opulent Hanoi Press Club.
Overnight:Sofitel Legend Metropole Hanoi Hotel or Hilton Hanoi Opera
