This initiative aims to better meet the diverse interests of both local and out-of-province tourists, while continuing to highlight the rich cultural and historical heritage of the Kinh Bac region.
The free tours will continue to run every Saturday and Sunday, starting from the weekend of May 24–25, 2025.
Each tour is designed as a closed-loop journey—beginning and ending at the Bac Ninh Museum—offering visitors a comprehensive and convenient experience. Specifically:
Tour 1 has been enhanced with two spiritually and historically significant sites: Tieu Son Pagoda (Tu Son City) and To Pagoda (Thuan Thanh Town). The full itinerary includes: Bac Ninh Museum, Tieu Son Pagoda, Do Temple, Dong Ho Folk Painting Village, “Garden of Life” Ecological Area (with hands-on experiences and self-paid lunch), Dau Pagoda, To Pagoda, But Thap Pagoda, and back to Bac Ninh Museum.

The route includes: Bac Ninh Museum, Dai Bi Pagoda, Le Chi Vien Temple, Dong Do Village, Dai Bai Craft Village, Thai Su Le Van Thinh Temple, and returns to the museum.
The free tour program “The Quintessence of Bac Ninh Culture – Colours of Heritage” is not only a tourism product but also a deep cultural communication initiative. It plays a vital role in promoting the image of Bac Ninh—its people and its land, the cradle of Quan Ho folk singing—to both domestic and international visitors.
The ongoing organization, renewal, and expansion of the tour represent a strategic direction for Bac Ninh as it steadily moves toward becoming a leading cultural destination in the Red River Delta region.
