Description

Embark on a 10-day visual journey through the heart of Vietnam, where ancient culture, vibrant landscapes, and timeless traditions come alive before your lens. The adventure begins in Hanoi, where you’ll explore the city’s historic charm and photograph the colorful incense village, bustling ceramic road, and traditional craft communities. From quiet village life to the dynamic streets of the capital, each day offers a unique window into Vietnam’s rich cultural tapestry.

From there, we travel south through some of the country’s most breathtaking natural locations. In Ninh Binh, limestone karsts rise dramatically from emerald rice paddies, setting the stage for awe-inspiring compositions. The road then leads to Mu Cang Chai, home to Vietnam’s most iconic rice terraces. Here, we greet the day with sunrise shoots over the curved golden hills, visit ethnic minority villages, and explore remote corn houses and bamboo forests, immersing ourselves in rural life and scenery.

Midway through the tour, a flight takes us to Hue, the former imperial capital. Surrounded by historical relics and riverside beauty, we photograph traditional flower-making villages, serene fishermen, and magical floating candles at dusk. The cultural depth of Hue offers both quiet moments and dramatic storytelling opportunities, further enriching your portfolio with emotional, human-centered imagery.

The tour concludes in Hoi An, a town where time slows down and light dances on colorful walls and waterways. We’ll capture the iconic fishing nets of Cua Dai, the charming ancient streets at sunset, and the traditional crafts that define this coastal community. By the time we arrive at Da Nang Airport on the final day, you’ll leave not only with an extraordinary collection of images but also with a deeper connection to Vietnam’s soul—seen through your camera and felt in every step of the journey.
