After the church, head to Quan Anh Heritage House and enjoy a traditional lunch in a space rich in culture and history.

Depart for Hai Ly Ruined Church, a hauntingly beautiful and photogenic site nestled by the sea. Nearby, explore a local fishing village, where boats head out at midnight and return at dawn. The more turbulent the sea, the more determined the fishermen — the bustling energy here reflects their strong connection to the ocean and the local economy. This traditional nearshore fishing is called “đánh săm.”

Then head to Giao Thuy District and enter Xuan Thuy National Park. Board a boat to journey deeper into the wetland reserve and reach the clam farming area, where lunch will be served in a rustic clam hut overlooking the sea.

Depart from the national park and check in at An Eco Homestay, where you can relax in a peaceful garden surrounded by nature.

Hop on a motorbike to visit Giao Hai Fish Market, which operates twice daily. The morning market runs from 3:00 AM to 7:00 AM, and the afternoon session from 1:30 PM to 3:30 PM, coinciding with the return of fishing boats.

Afterward, visit a local Ao Dai tailoring house, where skilled artisans meticulously craft Vietnam’s iconic traditional dress by hand.

Return to the homestay, enjoy dinner, and rest in the serene countryside atmosphere.

Wake up early for a leisurely walk along the rural roads, soaking in the peaceful rhythm of village life as locals begin their day.
