The Ride: We kick off the evening by cruising across the iconic, century-old Long Bien Bridge, capturing stunning sunset or night views of the Red River.
The Thrill: Navigate through the lively Old Quarter mazes before securing a safe spot at the famous Train Street (around 7:30 PM). Enjoy a drink while feeling the thrill of the train passing just inches away.
The Taste & Spirit: Savor an authentic local dinner (Hanoi street food specialties). We conclude the night at the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum complex to witness the solemn and moving flag-lowering ceremony at 9:00 PM.

The Ride: Dive deep into Vietnam’s rich history starting at the Temple of Literature, the country’s first national university built in the 11th century.
