We will pick you up at your hotel and start our day with a visit to the vibrant Fish Market, where you can find all kinds of fresh seafood. Outside the market, we will walk along the wharf, watching colorful fishing ships unload their morning catch, immersing ourselves in the local atmosphere.
Next, we will visit the Quang Ninh Provincial Museum (closed on Mondays), which exhibits the early cultures of Ha Long, Ly, and Tran Dynasties, showcasing the rich heritage of Quang Ninh's ethnic groups. The museum highlights significant events from wartime history, the region's coal industry, and the revolutionary tradition of the working class in the mining area. Over the last 40 years, it has discovered and preserved over 10,000 artifacts, making it a treasure trove of historical information.
Our next stop is the largest pagoda at the base of Bai Tho Mountain in Ha Long City. Long Tien Pagoda, built in 1941, serves as a Buddhist temple and also features altars dedicated to the warriors of the Tran Dynasty and the Holy Mother of Three Palaces.
The day concludes with a visit to Hon Gai Church, the largest church in Quang Ninh Province, rebuilt after its destruction in 1972.
