🏃♂️ Welcome to our newest running tour — Morning Run Through Historic Hanoi – 12K Signature Route!
Run through 1,000 years of history as Hanoi wakes up.
A few months back, a guest on our history tour told us that whenever he traveled, he usually went for an early-morning run to enjoy the destination. He had been looking for running tours in Hanoi but hadn’t been able to find one. He asked if we knew anyone doing that. We said it was a good idea, so we designed one for him (I’ve never been a morning person ha ha). And it was great. Hanoi is a very unique city in the morning. The energy is completely different: people exercising, dancing groups, tai chi, the whole atmosphere. The tour ends as the city wakes up, and once it does, it becomes unstoppable with its busy streets, hustle, and traffic. An iconic breakfast of phở and Vietnamese iced coffee with condensed milk (cà phê sữa đá) is optional at the end. We hope this tour can bring more tourists to enjoy Hanoi differently.
Before the scooters buzz and the markets come alive, experience the city’s calm beauty — from Hoàn Kiếm Lake to Long Biên Bridge and the peaceful West Lake.
Along the way, our local storyteller-guide will share tales of emperors, artisans, and modern life — making this more than just a run, but a moving connection to Hanoi’s soul.
We’ll finish with lakeside coffee, watching the morning light spill over the water as the city awakens with you.

🏯 Tran Quoc Pagoda — Hanoi’s Ancient Soul
Begin your morning run beside Tran Quoc Pagoda, the oldest Buddhist temple in Hanoi.
As dawn light touches the red bricks and golden roofs, feel the quiet grace of a city that has stood for centuries.
🌅 Hoàn Kiếm Lake — Where Hanoi Comes to Life
Locals stretch, laugh, and move together by the lakeside — a beloved Hanoi ritual.
Run past these joyful moments as the sun rises over the Turtle Tower, the heart of the capital.
🚲 Long Biên Bridge — Crossing History
Built over a century ago, this rust-colored bridge carries stories of resilience and time.
Running across it at sunrise, you’ll feel the hum of trains below and the gentle breeze from the Red River.
Watch as a morning train passes — a beautiful symbol of Hanoi’s rhythm, both timeless and ever-moving.
🌿 Red River Views — The Green Edge of the City
Below the bridge, lush banana fields thrive beside the water.
This unexpected pocket of greenery reminds us how nature quietly coexists with the city’s pulse.
☕ Lakeside Coffee — A Hanoi Tradition
After the run, unwind with a cup of Vietnamese coffee by the lake.
Share stories with locals, watch reflections on the water, and savor the peaceful energy that makes Hanoi special.
