Hanoi Pearl Hotel

Every morning, Hanoi gather at the banks of the lake to practice Tai Chi, gymnastic, martial arts, or simply walk around the lake. Enjoy this special moment when the city seems to be waking up in a silent slow motion before the start of the incessant traffic and the intense heat of the day.

Experience the rapturous beauty of this world heritage-listed site on this Halong Bay tour. After a drive through the rural villages of northern Vietnam we arrive at the bay and board a private junk. Set sail through turquoise waters dotted with over 3,000 magnificent limestone islands. Explore the many karsts and enjoy a seafood buffet while taking in the bay's mystical scenery.

The class is held at Old Hanoi - one of the very fine local restaurants in Hanoi - it is a culinary institution amongst locals, travelers and expatriates.

Experience one of the world's greatest street food cities and unlock the hidden secrets of the Old Quarter and its cuisine. Sample authentic local dishes away from the tourist trail, hunkering down with the locals on the street at a variety of atmospheric food stalls.
