What a special day that will surely be memorable for you!08:30 AM: We will start the tour. The first stop is Twin Towers, an ancient Cham tower complex located in the heart of Quy Nhon. Admire its unique architecture and light incense in front of the Linga-Yoni statue to pray for vitality, peace, and happiness.10:00 AM: The next stop is Lang Song Church, built in the Gothic style-the typical architectural style of Europeans in church and palace construction. This can be easily recognized as the main hall of the church is decorated with symmetrical frames, wind flower decorations, patterns, and a pointed archway. At first glance, the facade of Lang Song Church is very similar to the ancient Saint Paul Cathedral built by the Portuguese in Macao. While it is not as epic and massive, Lang Song Church still beautifully preserves its ancient architecture.

Board a boat for a scenic trip along the Thi Nai Lagoon or take a kayak rowing through the creeks surrounded by mangroves. Help the local fishermen with net-fishing by casting and lifting the nets to catch crabs. Learn how to paddle a coracle boat, typically used by locals to transport themselves and their catch to shore. Wait for the sunset to watch the storks fly back to find a place to sleep.17:00 PM: After all the activities, enjoy cooking a well-earned meal.
