Step into the heart of Hanoi after dark, where history, tradition, and cuisine intertwine in an experience like no other. This immersive journey takes you through the city's rich evening rituals—from lively markets to hands-on cooking, from a solemn national ceremony to the colonial charm of the French Quarter.

Market Tour – Discover Local Life at Dusk
As Hanoi winds down from the day, the local market comes alive with its own rhythm. Walk through bustling stalls, interact with vendors, and uncover the hidden stories behind Vietnam’s essential ingredients. Select the freshest produce to create a truly authentic meal.

Garden Villa Cooking – A Taste of Hanoi’s Heritage
Venture to a peaceful 250m² garden villa, where you’ll prepare two iconic Hanoi specialties:

• Bún Chả – Grilled pork and vermicelli noodles, an authentic northern dish.
• Egg Coffee – A creamy, rich Hanoi classic loved by locals and travelers alike.

Enjoy your meal in a charming, intimate setting, making this more than just a cooking class—it’s a cultural connection.

Ba Đình Square – Witness the Flag-Lowering Ceremony
Arrive at Ba Đình Square just in time for the flag-lowering ceremony, a daily ritual honoring Vietnam’s national pride at Ho Chi Minh’s Mausoleum. The solemn procession, accompanied by the rhythmic march of soldiers, offers a rare glimpse into the nation’s deep respect for its history.

French Quarter by Night – A Walk Through Time
End your evening with a stroll through the French Quarter, where grand colonial buildings stand in contrast to Hanoi’s modern energy. Discover the hidden corners of this historic district, each with its own tale of the city's past.
