Climb aboard a bicycle to discover the sights, sounds and smells of the villages surrounding Hue. Set off early, escaping the city for the peaceful streams and verdant fields of the surrounding countryside. Ride past rice paddies and small villages to arrive at Thanh Toan, a small village that is home to a legendary market.

Climb off your bike to explore the market stalls, stopping to chat with the locals and learn more about life in this part of Vietnam. Pay a visit to the Thanh Toan Agricultural Museum to discover more about the role of agriculture in local society. Spend time soaking up the atmosphere in town and perhaps call by the beautiful Thanh Toan covered bridge or just take it all in while enjoying a coffee at the village café.

Climb back on your bike to continue exploring the area, passing over small streams, riding through pretty villages and stopping to chat with locals fishing, farming ducks and going about everyday life. Pay a visit to a family to learn how they make rice wine and perhaps even visit a local kindergarten to meet the local kids.

This biking tour will give you a unique insight into life in the Vietnamese countryside and by the time you pull back into Hue, you’ll have worked up an appetite ready to feast on a delicious lunch.
