ACROSS VIETNAM

This flat, scenic route of cultural heritage and natural wonders, takes you through rural Ninh Bin province. Cycle the varied course as you go through beautiful, lush green rice fields and winding rivers. Along the way are attractions such as Trang An, an eco-tourism paradise where you’ll catch glimpses of unusual limestone outcrops. The Trang An eco-tourism site, also called “Ha Long Bay land”, is a UNESCO World Heritage site. Other landmarks are Tam Coc and Hoa Lu, the ancient capital.

Your journey starts in the capital city Tuy Hoa, an agricultural center and fishing port in southeastern Vietnam on the South China Sea. The route is mostly fast and flat in the first half. Then the scenery changes, becoming more rugged as you leave the shoreline and dunes heading towards the climbs that weave along a beautiful coastline with the sea on your left and mountains on your right, ending with spectacular views over the historic and picturesque Vung Ro Bay.

Take a ride through the exotic and beautiful district of Moc Chau in Northwest Vietnam, forming part of the mountainous Son La province, 200km west of Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam. Enjoy its hilly valleys and fields of plum and cherry trees. Cycle through vast green tea plantations that spread as far as the eye can see and enjoy the lush and indigenous countryside. Encounter the many rural farmlands with ethnic villages in a natural subtropical landscape on the undulating 20km route.
