About this trip
Four days of cycling through central Vietnam, linking imperial history, coastline and Cham ruins by bike rather than bus window.
You start in Hue, riding among the remains of the old royal court, then head south along a quiet, sandy peninsula past fishing villages and the so-called city of tombs. The Hai Van pass follows, with the road climbing above the coast before dropping into Hoi An.
The trip finishes with a ride out to My Son, the old Hindu temple complex built by the Cham people between the 7th and 12th centuries, before you loop back to Hoi An.
