Bac Ninh– Just over 20 km away from Hanoi, Bac Ninh, the province’s name means “northern serenity” of stunning sceneries of the real Vietnam countryside with warm-hearted people, and authentic food.
The province is rich in culture and is known nationally for Quan họ folk music and Dong Ho folk Painting which were recognized as the Intangible Cultural Heritages by UNESCO. The home for our very first primitive ancestor of Vietnam back in 2879 BC, the long last and most powerful Ly dynasty at Do Temple, with 9 honored kings who were the founders of Thang Long-Hanoi Capital in 1010, traditional craft villages, and numerous ancient pagodas and temples. All will offer you a trip of a lifetime!

Give your hands to the farmers, if you like to help, try to be a real farmer to join them to plough the soil or seeding vegetables…and take a picture to save the memorable experience. Wave your hands to the farmers; keep cycling along the farm then stop to visit a local temple for a great view.
