Jade Emperor Pagoda: Visit this atmospheric temple where incense curls around intricate deities. Take time to observe local worshippers and learn about the intersection of Buddhist and Taoist beliefs in Vietnam.
Local Market: A short drive will bring you to a local market. Walk through the narrow aisles of fresh produce, dry goods, souvenir shops and food stalls to see how the Vietnamese do their daily grocery shopping.
