With the approval of the Bac Ninh Provincial People’s Committee, the provincial Department of Culture, Sports, and Tourism will add two free tours around the province's landmarks.

The free tours provide hands-on experiences at craft villages and historical sites.

Accordingly, the four free tours have the same starting point at Bac Ninh Museum (No. 2 Ly Thai To Street, Suoi Hoa Ward, Bac Ninh City, Bac Ninh Province).

According to the plan, the free tourism tours are Bac Ninh Museum - But Thap Pagoda - Dau Pagoda - Dong Ho Painting Village – Do Temple - Nam Hong Royal Museum - Bac Ninh Museum, and Bac Ninh Museum - Phat Tich Pagoda - Kinh Duong Vuong Tomb - Phu Lang Pottery Village - Nguyen Cao Temple - Dien Quang Pagoda - Bac Ninh Museum.

The free tours promote tourism, create a positive effect for visitors, and provide hands-on experiences at craft villages and historical sites. Additionally, they serve as models for tour operators to bring tourists to Bac Ninh.

Notably, the tour registration method will be changed from direct to online.

From 0:00 a.m. on March 20, 2025, the Organising Committee will accept online registration for tours, not direct registration. Residents and tourists will register online via the Electronic Information Portal of the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism of Bac Ninh at the link: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfabb-FwM629CdLuPr6MxTqJwf5OaKUuk7bh_coZbbcuT9ytQ/viewform

The Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism of Bac Ninh recommends, that when enough people participate in the tour, the Registration Portal will be notified and automatically closed. The time to cancel the tour is 24 hours in advance.

Tourists who have successfully registered online must be at the departure point (Bac Ninh Museum) by 7:30 a.m. on the tour days at the latest.

After the above time, the organising committee will cancel the right to participate in the tour and proceed to register for other tourists. Each seat is only for one tourist, so when participating in the free tour, tourists must not be accompanied by children under 6 years old.

With changes in organisation and operation methods, Bac Ninh Province hopes that tourists will have the opportunity to experience the beauty, culture and unique features of Bac Ninh-Kinh Bac land, contributing to promoting and attracting domestic and international tourists to Bac Ninh.
