Cycling Vietnam: Hoian to Saigon 6 Days

Today, we will begin our cycling adventure, taking back streets that wind past vibrant fishing villages towards the Thu Bon River. We'll cross the river via a steel bridge and visit a local fresh market where fish come directly from the East Sea to the vendors' baskets. This is a fantastic opportunity to experience the authentic daily lives of locals who have resided in the area for generations. 

After the market, we’ll continue cycling along country roads that traverse numerous villages and small towns. We’ll take a break for lunch at a local restaurant near Tam Thanh Beach before embarking on a two-hour drive to Tam Quan. There, we'll cycle on peaceful back roads lined with palm trees, eventually making our way along the coastline, where we’ll enjoy breathtaking views over the bay and mountains as we navigate the sandy dune peninsula. 

Today’s ride promises plenty of coastal scenery as we traverse the well-maintained roads, with friendly villagers waving and cheering us on. We will arrive in Quy Nhon city early in the evening, where we will spend the night!

We will cross a narrow wooden bridge, take in the stunning ocean views, and admire the colorful circular bamboo boats found in small fishing villages.

Our journey continues as we cycle through rustic farms and charming towns along lush farmland on scenic back roads, leading us to Da Dia Reefs. This remarkable coastal area stretches approximately 100 meters wide and 250 meters long, comprising around 35,000 columns of basalt rocks. These dark lava formations exhibit flat surfaces in various shapes, including round, pentagonal, hexagonal, and polygonal. We'll take a short break to walk around and capture some photos.

Continuing with our plan, we will cycle along narrow pathways adjacent to the local beaches, passing by small markets until we reach the vibrant lagoon. Here, we will have another opportunity to admire hundreds of floating fish farms. The ride will then proceed, crossing rivers and exploring picturesque villages along undulating paths, as we pass colorful ancient temples and pagodas. Throughout our route, we'll enjoy stunning views of nature, including sweet potato fields, tapioca fields, and rice paddies, as we make our way to the finishing point in Tuy Hoa.
