Begin our tour with the Ho Chi Minh Complex, which includes the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum (only accessible from the exterior because it closes in the afternoon), Ho Chi Minh's residence on stilts, his fish pond, and the One-Pillar Pagoda. The Temple of Literature is considered Vietnam's first university. Later, we get an overview of the capital by riding a cyclo for an hour around Hanoi's Old Quarter and Hoan Kiem Lake (the "Sword" Lake).

Returning to the boat, watch a cookery demonstration before dinner. In the evening, take part in boat activities or rest at your leisure. The voyage will last one night

Wake up early to take in the sunrise over the water. The Vietnamese refer to the "East Sea" by the point-oriented moniker "Eastern Sea," so you can imagine how magical it is to witness the sunrise over the Bay's islets. After breakfast, our boat will continue to sail through breathtaking locations, where practically every islet has its own name based on its shape or resemblance, such as Sail Island, Fisherman's Head Rock, Butterfly Rock, or Turtle islet, among others.
