Depart early from Hanoi and head toward the tranquil northeast, where the scenery gradually shifts into peaceful countryside and gentle rolling hills. The route brings you to Thac Ba Lake, often called the “Ha Long Bay of the mountains,” with its serene waters dotted by lush green islands. Stop for a leisurely lunch along the way before unwinding by the lakeside, ending the day with a stunning sunset mirrored across the calm surface.
After breakfast, continue your journey deeper into the mountains as the roads become more winding and dramatic. This is where the adventure truly begins.

As clouds drift across the peaks, the landscape becomes even more dramatic. In the afternoon, arrive at Dong Van Ancient Town and explore its distinctive stone architecture and rich cultural heritage

Frequently Asked Questions
Test Despite of the fact that Vietnamese government attempts to outlaw the practice, the US Dollars still acts as an alternative currency which is almost completely interchangeable with Vietnam Dong. Many prices, especially for hotels, tours and expensive restaurants, are still quoted in USD, though you can pay in dong if you’d rather - just check what exchange rate they’re using.
For everyday expenses, we recommend you carry a mix of US Dollars cash and Vietnam Dong. For larger items or when the exchange rate works in your favour, use dollars. For cyclos, local food stalls and small purchases, it’s best to use Vietnam Dong. In either case, make sure you always have a stock of small notes so that there is no need to worry about change.
