From here continue cycling to An Duong Vuong Dock where you cycle from back to the boat. You will then have a car transfer to Dong Ho Folk Painting Village, famous for the traditional ‘Dzo’ paintings which originated 300 years ago in this area. The people here are one of a few who understand and make this ancient art.

You will return to our boat where a delicious five course Vietnamese lunch will be served on board as you cruise downstream.
