After breakfast, depart from Hanoi for a peaceful journey to the countryside. Our first stop is Dau Pagoda, one of Vietnam's oldest Buddhist temples, renowned for its historical significance and serene atmosphere.

Continue to Phat Quang Pagoda, a tranquil temple nestled amidst nature, where visitors can engage in meditation and contemplation. In this peaceful and sacred setting, visitors can slow down, reconnect with themselves, and experience moments of inner peace guided by the temple's serene energy. We also have the opportunity to listen to monks' sermons, enjoy tea, admire the flowers, feed the fish, and relax our minds. If you wish to learn more about the history and meaning of each landscape within the temple, you can ask the monks for explanations and philosophical insights into life and the ways of the world.

After the meditation session, continue our journey to Ninh Binh, enjoying the stunning rural scenery along the way. Upon arrival, check into your hotel and relax in the evening. Overnight stay in Ninh Binh.
