End your morning at the Temple of Literature, founded nearly 1,000 years ago and dedicated to the famous Chinese scholar and philosopher Confucius.
After lunch, explore Hanoi’s colorful Old Quarter, where ancient byways like Tin Street and Bamboo Street are named for the goods that have long been sold there.

Traditional sailing junks and local fishing boats ply these waters and here awaits General Tours intimate luxury ship, the Paradise Elegance.

Nearby, the War Remnants Museum offers a penetrating look into the ravages of the war as seen through the eyes of the Vietnamese people.
After lunch, explore a local market filled with exotic tropical fruits and embark on General Tours Cyclo adventure through the colorful streets of Chinatown.

Day 9
Day 9 - Temples of AngkorThis morning, you’ll discover the monumental magnificence of Angkor Thom – the last capital of the Khmers, with its remarkable Elephant Terrace and elaborately carved Terrace of the Leper King. At the very heart of Angkor Thom, the stunning Bayon temple* is a 12th-century architectural masterpiece of symmetry and grandeur. Continue on with your guide to visit Preah Khan, an extensive monastic complex built by the Khmer King Jayavarman VII.
Take a break from sightseeing for a delightful lunch at Viroth’s, where fine traditional Khmer cuisine is attentively served in a chic and contemporary setting. In the afternoon, your guided sightseeing focuses on the less-visited but equally impressive sites of Angkor, including Chau Say Tevoda, Prasat Kravan, and Ta Keo. You’ll also tour the oft-photographed Ta Prohm; dedicated in 1186, this vast temple complex has been largely left in its natural state, surrounded by the massive roots and limbs of the encroaching jungle. End your sightseeing on a high note as you tour Angkor Wat - the largest temple in the world with a volume of stone equaling that of the Cheops Pyramid in Egypt. Inspired by 12th-century Hinduism, it took an estimated 30 years to build Angkor Wat, including the intricate bas-relief carvings which adorn all four sides of the temple. Meals B+L+D
*Bayon Temple will undergo extensive restoration work beginning in early 2020. Access to the upper levels will be limited and scaffolding may cover portions of the structure for several years. -
Day 10
Day 10 - Banteay Srei + Banteay SamreBegin another day of guided exploration at Banteay Srei; also known as the Citadel of Women, this delicately carved, pink sandstone temple is hailed by many as one of the finest of all the temples in the sprawling Angkor complex. Not far away, Banteay Samre was built in the mid 12th century and distinctively features beautiful carvings that reflect both Hindu and Buddhist beliefs. With its impressive towers and balustrades, its overall architectural style has been compared to the grandeur of Angkor Wat. In the afternoon, we’ve arranged a special visit with the amazing organization that has been training the HeroRATs that have saved countless lives worldwide by detecting long-buried landmines.

Home to about 3,000 residents, their homes are built in the traditional fashion – “floating” above the lake on wooden stilts that can be up to 25 feet above the water level. With insight from General Tours expert guide, you’ll learn about their timeless way of life, raising fish and vegetables on unique floating platforms.
