Were you immediately taken aback by our lounge’s collection of Hang Trong artworks? To further impress yourself, let’s try doing an artistic one on your own!
In this activity, following the guide, you will be able to add your own ink strokes and color to the designs on “Dó” paper, which is printed from the woodblock carved by artist Le Dinh Nghien – the last remaining heir of this folk art movement.
You are welcome to attend a Therapy Performance that Le Paon Spa’s therapist demonstrates, so that you may have a better approach of how the Singing Bowl Treatment works.
In addition to the standard method of heating the yolk using heat, Smarana’s barista will bring you a sophisticated approach to heat the egg yolk: using vodka.

Smarana would like to have you join us at a Mini Costume Show that will highlight the Nguyen dynasty court customs and provide detailed directions on how to dress in the elaborate and refined Nhat Binh costume. You will also have a chance to try dressing your finest Nhat Binh and snapping some shots as a memento after the show.
