NEW TOUR: Cultural Lens – Batik and Hmong Unique Experience

Vietnam is characterized by its culture and diversity. The 54 Traditions Gallery is a tribute to this diversity and one of the only galleries in Vietnam exhibiting antiques, artefacts and art of the 54 minority groups who live throughout Vietnam. On this day guests spend time at the gallery with a Hmong woman who has journeyed from her village to discuss daily routines and teach you the traditional art of batik. You can also explore the gallery to learn about other Vietnamese tribes. This Hanoi tour is an excellent precursor to a journey in Sapa.
