Day 1 Arrival Hanoi
You are picked up from the airport and taken to the hotel in the old center of Hanoi. You can go directly to explore this ancient capital. Once you leave your hotel you are standing directly in the wonderfully chaotic bustle of Hanoi. All around you is full of people who sell fruit and vegetables from their bikes, herbs from baskets on the street, of course, there are many shops, restaurants, and temples. Also look up at the beautiful colonial architecture, but watch out for mopeds coming from everywhere. Perhaps you should first acclimatize yourself and see the city from a rickshaw?
Day 2 Hanoi
Hanoi is the former capital of North Vietnam. In the center of town is the Hoan Kiem Lake, a wonderful place to get away from the city to relax, especially in early morning and late evening. The locals come here to do gymnastics, play games, or just to chat. At the lake you will also find the always-crowded Ngoc Son Temple. Near the lake is the famous Water Puppet Theater where you can see an example of Vietnamese puppetry.From the lake you can walk into the old town, a maze of narrow streets filled with honking motorbikes, street vendors, rickshaws and shops. You'll find an abundance here of (cheap) Vietnamese products. Hanoi has much to offer. You can pay a visit to the Ho Chi Minh mausoleum, a large cubical mausoleum located on the vast Ba Dinh Square. Want to see history? Stroll along the edges of the old city. You will find old French villas, reminders of the colonial past of this jewel of Indochina. Make sure to visit the "Temple of Literature", a beautiful Vietnamese-style temple that, in the eleventh century, was the first university in the country. And the city has many more smaller temples that are well worth a visit.
Day 3 Hanoi - Halong Bay
You drive three hours to one of the highlights of the trip, the spectacular Halong Bay, Vietnam's version of an amphitheater. Halong Bay has recently become very popular! You will notice that you are not the only tourist here. Despite the mass tourism the area remains beautiful.Upon arrival at the port you go straight onto a wooden junk where you get an excellent meal and can relax on the deck while enjoying the beautiful view. You will sail among hundreds of crags and spend the night on the boat. On the way, the boat stops so you can go swimming, visit a beach, or take a hike. There is also the opportunity to kayak in the calm sea between the karst mountains! In good weather it is possible to sleep on deck.
Day 4 Halong Bay - Hue via Hanoi
In the early morning there will be a tai chi teacher on deck ready to get the sleep out of your body with streamlined exercises from the ancient Chinese. After breakfast, the boat will slowly sail to the port of Halong. Then you drive back to Hanoi. In the evening you get back on the train and head to Hue. You will have reserved sleeping places; with four people you have your own sleeping compartment with 4 beds.
Day 5 Hue
In the morning you arrive in Hue and are taken to the hotel. From here you can explore the relatively tranquil former imperial city of Hue.Hue was long the capital of Vietnam between the 17th and the first half of the 20th century. Between the 17th and 19th centuries most of south Vietnam was ruled from here. When the last emperor Bao Dai abdicated in 1945, the capital was moved to Ha Noi, though the capital in 1949 moved back to Saigon with Bao Dai as the temporary head of state. During the Tet Offensive in 1968 Hue was prey to bombing by the Americans and many people were murdered by the communists. The city with its ancient palaces and buildings was almost completely reduced to ashes. Only in recent years has attention been given to the ruins of these buildings (such as the Imperial Palace), and restoration work has started on the old buildings from the wealthy Vietnamese dynasties. An absolute must is to explore the city by bike!
Day 6 Hue - Hoi'An
You have a relatively long travel day that brings you to the picturesque town of Hoi'an. Along the way you travel through the Hai Van Pass with stunning views. In Danang, you will stop to visit the Cham Sculpture Museum with beautiful old sculptures from the ancient Cham Empire between the 5th and 14th centuries. The imagery will be recognizable if you have ever been to Cambodia. After the museum you will pass the "Marble Mountains," a rock formation of sacred caves filled with Buddhist statues.
Day 7 Hoi'An
Today you have time to explore, shop, and eat in Hoi'an. It is the ideal place to get, for example, custom-made clothing, ceramics or beautiful accessories for the home. The old town is full of nice shops that all look so fun and tempting!In Hoi'An you have to try Cao Lau, a noodle dish that is something between a noodle soup and a salad. The dish consists of hot wide flat noodles in a bowl of soup with a lot of green vegetables and raw herbs on top with a little meat, mostly pork. Or how about white rose dumplings, a steamed dumpling filled with pork and spices? Delicious! Of course, you can also choose to relax on the nearby Cua Dai beach or go cycling through the Vietnamese countryside. In Hoi'an itself you can visit several beautiful old houses, temples and pagodas. In some houses you can go inside and admire the traditional (Chinese- Vietnamese)
architecture.
Day 8 Hoi'An - Mui Ne via Nha Trang
In the morning you fly from Danang to Nha Trang. From there it is a few hours’ drive along the coast to Mui Ne, beautifully located on a long white beach. It’s the perfect place to pause your trip through Vietnam and spend a few days relaxing on the beach.
Day 9 Mui Ne
The wide beach invites children to build sand castles and play volleyball. Here the sea is not calm. There are waves here! That’s nor ideal for small children, but in front of the hotel there is a beautifully-landscaped swimming pool. For children who are older, you can go surfing on the waves!Day 10 Mui Ne
A full day to enjoy the beach.Day 11 Mui Ne
Another day relaxing on the beach.Day 12 Mui Ne - Ho Chi Minh
Today you leave the beach and drive several hours to Ho Chi Minh City. Ho Chi Minh is the largest city in Vietnam with more than 7 million inhabitants. The area where the town is built was first inhabited by the Khmer. It has traditionally been a swampy area where somewhere between the 1st and 6th century AD the city was founded. In the 17th century, the city received a substantial influx of Chinese (Hoa) who brought a lot of trade and economic growth to the city. From this time the city was called Saigon. In 1950, the former emperor Bao Dai founded the government in Saigon in response to the communist north founded by the Viet Minh. Saigon thus became the capital of South Vietnam. In 1976, Saigon was conquered by the communists from the north and was renamed Ho Chi Minh.
Day 13 Ho Chi Minh - Mekong Delta
You will be driven by a private car to Vinh Long in the Mekong Delta. Today you will sleep with a family that lives here. This has been somewhat adapted to western convenience but you sleep on simple beds in a bamboo house. It's really beautiful here! You will first take a boat ride to the Tien Chau pagoda and a stone and ceramics factory. In the afternoon you will visit a fishing village. For dinner, your host family will prepare a delicious local meal for you which includes the opportunity to chat with the family. Sleep tight!
Day 14 Mekong Delta
With a boat you will sail through the narrow channels of An Binh Island. Then there is the opportunity for walking, cycling or rowing in a sampan. You will visit the orchards and a bonsai garden on the island. You will also visit the ancient house of Mr. Cai Cuong. Here you will eat and get an impression of the old way of life in the Mekong Delta. It is an ideal place to just to relax and enjoy a cup of tea and the tropical fruit that is present in abundance. This afternoon you visit one of the famous floating markets of the Mekong Delta. You will sleep in a hotel in Can Tho today.
Day 15 Mekong Delta - Ho Chi Minh
In the morning you will visit the famous floating market Cai Rang. Then you return by private car to Ho Chi Minh. In the afternoon you have time to shop for those at home, or visit one of the many Chinese temples in Cholon, the Chinese quarter. And of course eat the great local cuisine for the last time! The south Vietnamese cuisine is influenced by Chinese immigrants and French settlers. This cooking is perceived as slightly sweet. Due to the soil and climate conditions, this cuisine offers a wide variety of flavors!
