Red River cruise
If you have some extra days in Hanoi and don't know what
to do, a one day Red River cruise would be fun. The boat
departs at 7:30am and back in Hanoi at 5:30pm (3 days a
week). Ticket can be bought in advance or at their
office at 7:15am, before the boat leaves the wharf. You
will visit Dam temple, Dai Lo temple (with great
countryside landscape on the way to these sites), Chu
Dong Tu temple in the morning then Bat Trang ceramic
village in the afternoon. The company that organizes
this tour is "Cong ty du lich Song Hong" (the Red River
Tourist Company), at 42 Chuong Duong Do street, Hanoi.
Ticket price VND 210,000 (approx. US$13) in August 2008
(including insurance, lunch and folk song performance on
the boat). Tel: 84-4-38261479.
