Cycling through the villages of Hanoi
Hanoi is worth visiting and especially during its millennium anniversary from now onto October. There are quite a lots of things to see and learn about Hanoi and its thousand years of history from the old town to the monuments, from the lakes to its museums, etc… all worth your visit of 2 or 3 days to this 1000 years old capital city.
One of the places that you should also visit during your time in Hanoi is to go through the traditional villages right in the outskirt of Hanoi, where will really bring you a good scene of how Hanoi used to be. We suggest this trip to be on the bicycle, ride through typical Vietnamese villages, enjoying picturesque landscapes, meeting and chatting with local farmers. Get a different impression from a different point of view. This is an adventure with freedom on two wheels. Beautiful, emotional, simple and truly unspoiled.
Here is the itinerary that was created early this year for Footprint visitors to learn more about Hanoi:
Leave your hotel at 8 am. Just a short drive from the city center and we will quickly be on the outskirts of the city and into the Vietnamese countryside. Stop to visit one local market and a temple before we pedal along country roads, though the traditional villages, paddy fields, small-scale local brick kiln makers, meet and talk to the locals. Another stop before lunch is But Thap Pagoda;one of the finest pagodas in the country’s north and known as Vietnam’s first Buddhist center. After lunch, we will be back on the bikes, crossing the ferry and along the country dike from where you will enjoy the spectacular views of the villages, rivers, and mulberry fields. Our final stop on bike will be at a temple complex filled with stories and legends of ancient times. Upload the bikes on our van, then ride back to town for about 5 pm. Tour ends at your hotel well excersised and ready for dinner or a nap.
