Oriental Suites Hotel

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.

Surround yourself in the rich history and breathtaking scenery of Vietnam. Step back through time at the ancient citadel of Hoa Lu, Vietnam's first capital. Cycle amongst the lime karsts and surrounding scenery. Then explore the spectacular scenery of Trang An complex, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

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.

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.
