Visiting the Temple of Literature is part of the Hanoi Emotion Tour.  Hanoi Emotion Tour is operated by four travel companies including Hanoitourist, NewStar Tour, Anh Duong Tour and ITC Travel with the support of Vietnam Airlines. With a tour lasting 4 days and 3 nights, the tour ranges from 230 USD for tourists from Da Nang and 280 USD for those from Ho Chi Minh city.

The tour focuses on natural scenery, religious, historical and cultural sites, traditional handicraft villages, folk art and the cuisine of Hanoi. Tran Duc Hai, Deputy Director of the Hanoi Department of Tourism, said Hanoi Emotion Tour is designed based on Hanoi’s tourism potentials: “On this tour, we still take visitors to traditional tourist attraction sites. The tour also includes a visit to Ba Vi which has places to worship Tan Vien Genie and President Ho Chi Minh. This place also has other tourist attractions such as relic of 200 villas, prisons, and the diverse flora and fauna of Ba Vi National Park.  The K9 relic site is the place where the remains of President Ho Chi Minh were kept during the war time”.

Hanoi Emotion Tour takes visitors to Hanoi’s most famous places such as Ho Chi Minh’s Mausoleum, the One Pillar pagoda, the Temple of Literature, and Thang Long Royal Citadel. The tour also covers visits to Trang An, Bai Dinh complex in Ninh Binh which was recognized by UNESCO as a world natural cultural heritage site. On the tour, visitors will have opportunity to explore Hanoi’s Old Quarter, Dong Xuan market and visit Bat Trang pottery village and Van Phuc silk village. Visiting modern commercial centers such as Royal City is also included in the program.  A visitor shared her view: “I have different feelings when visiting scenic spots, historical relic sites and the traditional handicraft villages of Hanoi. The tour also includes some new tourist attraction sites such as Huong pagoda”.

Travel companies have always renewed the tour itinerary to make it more attractive. Luu Duc Ke, Director of Hanoitourist company, said: “We always renew our tourism products. The tour still covers visits to typical tourist attractions in Hanoi but is held all year round. We diversify the tour by adding more places such as Ha Long and Sapa”.
