Itinerário dia a dia
7:30 - 8:00am Our tour guide will pick you up by mini van at your hotel in Hanoi old quarter, transferring you to Lang Son on a scenic 3-hour drive toward the Chinese border.
Upon arrival, we will visit Mạc Citadel, a 16th-century fortress built by the Mạc Dynasty as a defensive outpost against the Lê-Trịnh forces. Although partially in ruins today, the citadel stands as a testament to Vietnam’s turbulent feudal history. You will have time to explore its stone walls, learn about its strategic military role, and enjoy panoramic views of the surrounding region.
After a delicious lunch at a local restaurant in Đồng Đăng, we continue to Đông Khê, an important historical site where the Battle of Đông Khê (1950) took place during the First Indochina War. This battle marked a significant victory for the Viet Minh against French colonial forces, setting the stage for further independence struggles. As you explore the site, you will gain deeper insights into Vietnam’s revolutionary history.
In the evening, we will travel to a traditional Nùng ethnic homestay, where you will enjoy a home-cooked dinner and a restful overnight stay, immersing yourself in the local culture and way of life.
Highlights and activities: Mac citadel, Dong Khe battle site, ethnic villages, and a 3-5km walk
