At 8:00 you will be met up at your hotel in Hanoi by Lotussia Travel team. After a short briefing and warming up exercise, upload your bikes on the support vehicle and travel south.

After about one hour and a half, we arrive the Thay pagoda. This is one of famous attractions in Ha Tay Province, 30km southwest of Hanoi. It is also known as Thien Phuc Pagoda dedicated to Thich Ca Budha, Sakyamuni and 18 arhats. After visiting the pagoda, we will start our bike ride along the rice fields and countryside villages. The bicycle tour will take about two hours before we arrive the Tay Phuong pagoda, also called Sung Phuc Pagoda, is located on Tay Phuong mountain, in Yen village, Thach That district, Ha Tay province. It is 37 kilometres from Hanoi, along the Hanoi – Son Tay route, and 6 kilometres from the Tay Pagoda.

Lunch will be provided in a local restaurant.

After lunch, we join our support vehicle again and enjoy one more hour drive to Duong Lam ancient village. This village has been known as a museum of laterite with ancient houses aged up to 400 years old. It is also the only place in Vietnam where two kings came from. After the recognition of Hoi An ancient town and Hanoi old quarter, Duong Lam was recognized as a national relic in 2005.

Enjoy one more hour biking in the village, talking with local people, visiting  ancient houses before getting on our vehicle again for the journey back to Hanoi.
