A Cultural Tour of Hanoi

Start this cultural half-day tour of charming Hanoi at the Vietnam Museum of Ethnology. With the aim to preserve cultural heritage, the museum showcases an extensive collection dedicated to Vietnam’s 54 different minority groups. From tribal art, artefacts and everyday objects to full-scale replicas of traditional villages, examine the fascinating display collected from across the country, and get insight into the culture, heritage and history of Vietnam’s numerous ethnic groups.

Continue to Hoang Hoa Tham Street and stroll along this lively route, lined with professional flower shops and local vendors. Take in the fragrance of the seasonal blossoms and marvel at the uniquely-shaped bonsai trees before turning into a smaller street. Stop at a local market, taking a closer look at the products on offer, and head on to a small and cosy tea house for an engaging introduction to the world of tea. Mr. Nguyen Viet Hung, the owner and former winner of the Tea Master Cup competition, and his wife travel to plantations across the country to pick high-quality white, green or oolong tea from ancient Vietnamese tea trees. Be captivated by their stories and sample different types of tea before learning the secrets of brewing a delicious cup of the hot beverage.

After this marvellous experience, say goodbye to the passionate tea masters and travel back to the hotel, marking the end of this fascinating journey into Vietnamese culture.
