Known as the “ancient village of Vietnam,” Duong Lam Ancient Village preserves the quintessential beauty of the Northern countryside with its peaceful landscapes, ancient architecture, and rich cultural and historical traditions. Visitors here can “travel back in time” to experience the atmosphere of an old Vietnamese village and enjoy rustic specialties of the Đoài region such as keo doi (peanut candy), che lam (sweet rice cake), soybean sauce, and Mia chicken.
Morning session (8:00 – 11:00)
Students visited and explored key heritage sites of the ancient village, including:
• Mong Phu Village Gate – a symbol of traditional Vietnamese villages.

• The Ancient House of Mr. Hung and Mrs. Duong – a 300-year-old laterite house representing the typical architecture of the Đoài region.
• The village well – banyan tree – communal yard complex, an iconic image of Vietnamese rural life.
Noon session (11:15 – 13:30)
The group had lunch at Bep Lang Restaurant, where they enjoyed local specialties prepared by Duong Lam residents. After lunch, students were free to explore, take photos, or rent bicycles to tour around the village and experience its rustic, tranquil charm.
Afternoon session (13:30 – 16:30)
The field trip continued with visits to several famous nearby sites, including:
• Ngo Quyen Mausoleum – the resting place of the national hero who ushered in Vietnam’s era of independence.
