● Itinerary - Day 1:
  - 9:00 AM: A private car will pick you up at your hotel in Cat Ba and begin the journey to Ba Vi Mountain Peak, a trip lasting approximately 3 hours. The car will stop at a rest stop for about 20 minutes along the way.

   - 12:30 PM, the vehicle will take you near the summit of Ba Vi Mountain. Here you will have lunch at a local restaurant and then begin your climb to the summit to visit the Upper Temple. This is one of the most sacred temples in Vietnam, dedicated to the mountain god Son Tinh. According to Vietnamese legend, Son Tinh was a god with extraordinary power who could move mountains to prevent historical floods and save the people. This sacred temple is located in Hanoi, and every year on the first day of the new year, high-ranking Vietnamese leaders come here to light incense and pray for peace for the country. On clear days, from here you can admire the entire city of Hanoi and the villages and rivers at the foot of the mountain.

  - 3:00 PM, the trip to the summit of Ba Vi Mountain ends, and the driver will take you to Cao Lam village.  Here you will discover the daily life of the locals. The air is fresh and the majestic nature is completely different from Hanoi. The magnificent mountain scenery is also different from Cat Ba because there are absolutely no tourist activities here. The locals have hardly ever met foreigners; they make a living by raising livestock, growing tea, and harvesting. Life here is very peaceful and tranquil. Your guide will take you for a walk around the village, you will stay overnight in a local's home, enjoy their traditional daily dinner, and learn about how they make a living.

  ● Day 2:
   - After breakfast at 8:30, the driver will take you to visit and shop at Ba Trai Market, the largest local market in Ba Trai commune. You will surely see things here that you have never seen anywhere before.  Local goods such as vegetables, fruits, food, and daily necessities are incredibly unique; it's a habit of Vietnamese rural people to go to the market to buy fresh food every day.

   - 9:45 AM , the visit to Ba Trai market ends, and the driver will continue the journey to the K9 Da Chong historical site. This is where President Ho Chi Minh built a military command base during the Vietnam War. At that time, the US Air Force was bombing Hanoi, so K9 was considered a safe and convenient location both by land and water, with a dense network of rivers and canals. After Ho Chi Minh's death, his body was brought here for preservation for 6 years, and when his mausoleum was completed in Hanoi, the Vietnamese army moved his body there.  This place is now under the management of a Vietnamese military unit, but anyone can visit to hear polite military guides explain the life and career of Ho Chi Minh and tour the facilities within this historical site.

   - 11:30, the tour of the K9 Da Chong historical site ends. The driver will take you to check into your hotel in downtown Hanoi, concluding your KingCong Travel trip. The driver/guide will say goodbye and thank you for your enthusiastic support of KingCong Travel.
