Every year, in March, the French School of Far Eastern Studies (now the National Museum of History) is adorned with the most beautiful and largest ancient kapok tree in Hanoi. The vibrant red of the kapok flowers blends with the nostalgic yellow of the French School of Far Eastern Studies, creating the perfect backdrop for photos for Hanoi residents during the late spring days.
This March, the National Museum of History, in collaboration with Hanoitourist Travel Company, introduced the "Bac Co - The Season of Kapok Flowers" tour within the museum grounds. With simple yet familiar arrangements and decorations, "Bac Co - The Season of Kapok Flowers" will recreate the image of a Vietnamese village under the kapok blossoms, through depictions of folk games, village gates, tea stalls, carrying poles, bamboo swings… all nestled beside ancient kapok trees.
The tour is conducted during business hours and does not have a fixed departure time. During the one-hour tour, visitors will experience the atmosphere of a "Village within the City" right in the heart of Hanoi.
In particular, within this space, visitors are also introduced to cultural aspects associated with daily life in Vietnamese rural areas, through priceless treasures preserved at the Museum, such as the Ngoc Lu bronze drum, the Van Ban pagoda bell, the Tu Ky pagoda stone incense burner, the stone bridge, etc.
Throughout March, tour prices will be reduced by 50%. Accordingly, the tour price for children aged 12 and under will be only 25,000 VND/person, and for adults only 75,000 VND/person.
Note: The "Bac Co - Kapok Flower Season" tour depends on the flowering time of the kapok trees at the National Museum of History and will end when all the flowers have fallen.
