A trip to Duong Lam Village offers a remarkable glimpse into Vietnam’s rich cultural and historical roots. Located about 60 km west of Hanoi, this peaceful village is known as the birthplace of two national heroes: Phung Hung and Ngo Quyen, who played significant roles in shaping the country’s past.
Duong Lam stands out for its well-preserved architecture and centuries-old houses — some dating back over 400 years — offering a rare look into traditional Vietnamese rural life. As the first ancient village to be officially recognized as a national relic by the Ministry of Culture, Duong Lam holds a prestigious place alongside famous sites like Hoi An and Hanoi’s Old Quarter.
A walk through its narrow alleyways and communal houses feels like stepping back in time, making it an unmissable destination for history lovers and cultural explorers alike.
