Yen Duc Village

Yen Duc Village is located approximately 70 kilometres from Halong Bay along the return route to Hanoi. A visit to the village offers an enriching cultural experience after your Halong Bay cruise.

Yen Duc is a typical Vietnamese agricultural village rich in local culture and traditions. During your visit, you will have an opportunity to relax after the journey, admire the charming rice fields and stroll along the village’s narrow lanes while enjoying the fresh countryside air.

The experience also includes an approximately 30-minute traditional water puppet performance. We hope this will offer you a memorable introduction to one of Vietnam’s most representative traditional art forms, performed in the authentic setting of a Vietnamese village.

Important Transfer Information

Pickup times are approximate and should not be treated as private appointment times when using a shared service. Guests are requested to remain available in the hotel lobby during the confirmed pickup window.

Guests staying in narrow streets, pedestrian areas or locations inaccessible to larger vehicles may be asked to walk to a nearby meeting point.

One standard suitcase and one small personal bag per passenger are normally suitable for a shared transfer. Guests carrying oversized luggage, sports equipment or several suitcases should inform the team in advance.

Smoking is not permitted inside the vehicle. Seat belts should be worn throughout the journey.

Travel times can be affected by traffic, road conditions, weather and public holidays. Indochina Go will make reasonable operational adjustments, but guests should avoid arranging tightly timed flights or train departures immediately after the cruise.
