Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam, and also its second largest city, is a fascinating blend of East and West, with Chinese influence from centuries of dominance, and French design from its colonial past. It is largely unspoiled by modern architecture of the 1970s and 80s, and is now going through a modernization that is making it a rising star in Southeast Asia.

There is no better way to discover Hanoi than by bike. Join our newly-discovered bicycle tour and experience both the old quarter of Hanoi and its new suburb area in just a half day.

You will be met up with Lotussia Travel biking guide at your hotel at 8:00am. He then give you a brief explaination about the biking trail, cycling tips and related information. Leaving hotel, we will follow an narrow road where there is surprisingly little noise of bike horns. We will bike along these small streets  until we reach the peach garden there we cross the river to join an immense corn field. As we cycle through the corn field, and vegetable gardens, we will see how the life is quiet and peaceful after just few minutes cycle.

The dog barks; farmers plant vegetable working on their fields; children play on their house court with simple toys…these are common sceneries we will experience during our trip. Stopping by a local house and talking with local people will make your trip more enjoyable.

We will join the Long Bien historical bridge before biking to another part of Hanoi. Long Bien bridge is a historic cantilever bridge across the Red River that connects two parts of the city of Hanoi, Vietnam. It is also commonly referred to as the Paul Doumer Bridge. After crossing the bridge, we continue cycling through local villages, rice fields and smiling faces.  With the guide, you will know how we plant rice, how the villager life is, how our rituals are…

Around noon, you will cycle back to your hotel or you can take a taxi (we will take care of our bikes).
