Departure from your hotel towards the village of Tho Ha, in the province of Bac Ninh, offering a great opportunity to appreciate the rural landscapes, where farmers go about their tasks in the middle of the rice fields, accompanied by water buffalo. Crossing the Cau River by local ferry will be followed by a walk through the village of Tho Ha, allowing you to discover the local culture by interacting with the inhabitants and observing their daily activities.
Explore the narrow lanes of Tho Ha, lined with ancient houses built from pieces of terracotta. Visiting the village cemetery and sea wall will offer panoramic views of the village above a picturesque lake. Tho Ha is now famous for its rice wine, and rice cakes, and the village's special brick walls attract the attention of film producers, painters, and photographers.
