Then, visit the One Pillar Pagoda, one of the symbols of the ancient capital.

Later, we continue with a visit to the Temple of Literature, known as the First University of Vietnam, which remains the most visited site by both foreign and local tourists.

Lunch at a local restaurant.

Then watch an hour puppet show the quintessential Vietnamese art of water puppetry—begun over a thousand years ago by farmers in the Red River Delta. A complex system of underwater poles, rods, and strings brings these elaborate puppets to life. Puppeteers bring magic to the water’s surface as they spin tales of Vietnamese legend—knights on horseback, princesses, unicorns, and fire-breathing sea dragons.
