Duong Lam Ancient Village tours with best prices and high quality in 2026

Located only about 45 km from central Hanoi, the Duong Lam Ancient Village Tour is an ideal choice for travelers wishing to explore the cultural, historical, and traditional architectural values of the Northern Delta in a single day. With a scientifically designed itinerary, visitors can fully enjoy the journey exploring Vietnam's first ancient village recognized as a National Architectural and Artistic Relic without having to plan or find directions on their own. Highlights of the tour include strolling along red brick paths, admiring over 950 ancient houses dating from the 17th to 19th centuries, along with time-honored landmarks such as the Mong Phu village gate, the communal house, ancient wells, and the signature laterite stone walls of the Doai region. Travelers will also learn about the land known as the "land of two kings", birthplace of Phung Hung and Ngo Quyen, while experiencing the peaceful rhythm of life with quintessential symbols of the Northern Vietnamese countryside: banyan trees, river wharves, communal house yards, and lotus ponds.

Joining the Duong Lam Ancient Village Tour, visitors will explore an almost intact ancient Vietnamese village space, where every structure, pathway, or roof preserves centuries of cultural and historical heritage.

• Mong Phu Village Gate and Ancient Banyan Tree: Built in 1833, the laterite gate combined with a banyan tree over 300 years old forms an iconic symbol of Duong Lam. This is also a famous check-in spot preserving the rustic beauty of Vietnamese rural life.

• Mong Phu Communal House: Nearly 400 years old, this communal house impresses with its unique Viet - Muong architectural style, serving as the venue for traditional festivals and community activities.

• Worship House of Envoy Giang Van Minh: A historically significant site honoring the prominent figure who defended national pride, featuring rare artifacts and distinctive ancient architecture.

• Ancient House System: Visit centuries-old residences such as the ancient houses of Mrs. Dien, Mr. Hung, Mr. The, and Mr. Ha Nguyen Huyen..., showcasing traditional five-compartment two-wing architecture, laterite walls, wooden pillars, moss-covered tile roofs, and classic courtyards.

• Ngo Quyen Temple, Phung Hung Temple, and Mia Pagoda: Unmissable spots on the journey to learn about national history, pay respects at sacred spiritual sites, and admire exceptional Buddhist sculpture art.

In addition to visiting historical sites, travelers can stroll along red brick paths, view ancient wells, experience the peaceful daily life of locals, savor famous local specialties like Mia chicken, che lam (sticky rice ginger peanut bar), Mong Phu soy sauce, banh te (rice cakes), and peanut candy, or purchase handmade handicrafts as souvenirs.
