The Perfume Pagoda was very impressive. Since we went during Tet Festival time, when many Vietnamese make a pilgrimage here, it was very crowded. We were about the only non Asians so were quite the celebrities, but everyone was nice and yelling hello to us. Our guide, Frank, was very knowledgable, not only about what we were seeing, but about Vietnam, Vietnamese culture, and even world politics and economics as they relatd to and impacted Vietnam.

We booked a transport by minibus with an agency in the center of Hanoi, the alley went very well however the return was difficult with a bus full we had to take the local bus and take a taxi scooter! However it is a place not to be missed it is a very typical village with beautiful landscapes !!

a tourist guide took us for a bicycle tour in the surrounding area. we rode through paddy fields. we witnessed the amount of hard work of these farmers as it was harvesting season. however, they looked happy and healthy.

Staying a night at Mai Chau is so peaceful compared to the constant honking of vehicles in downtown Hanoi. There are trekking, biking and a cooler weather. I love the cycling in between padi fields and being able to take closeup photos of water buffaloes, ducks, chickens and goats. Going to the local morning wet market enables us to experience the local culture and the diverse food of the locals.
