Cross through some small villages before arriving at But Thap Pagoda in time for lunch at a local restaurant.

Visit the But Thap pagoda before continuing on to Bat Trang ceramic village. Arrive Bat Trang, we will cycle around the village, meet a craftsman in  workshop. He will show us how to make pottery and then we can try to make some by ourselves.

Join our vehicle again for the drive back to Hanoi. End trip.

You will be met up at your hotel at 8:00am by our tour guide. He then give a brief explaination about the biking route, riding 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, we bike back to the hotel. Trip end.
