Escape the hustle of Hanoi and uncover the untouched beauty of Lạng Sơn UNESCO Global Geopark on this full-day countryside adventure. This tour takes you deep into the heart of Hữu Liên Nature Reserve, where lush valleys, rolling steppes, and peaceful villages paint a picture of authentic northern Vietnam. Depending on the season, you’ll either glide through the stunning Đồng Lâm Steppe by boat or cool off at Bắc Mỏ Dam with swimming and kayaking.
Beyond the breathtaking landscapes, this trip also offers a window into local life — from sharing a homemade lunch with a local family to learning how to make Tày ethnic pumpkin cakes and joining hands-on farming activities in the village.
