We cycle from the hotel, and pedal along the river, past many small villages by waterways, enjoy a peaceful landscape along the river, To Muong Tung, then cross the river to national road 12—our day's adventure to Dien Bien Phu. Enjoy the ride through the natural beauty of diverse mountain regions, winding roads, green grassy hills, rice paddies, and lush rural farms; challenge Ma Phi Ho Pass called Heaven Gate, undulate along the mountain jungle, you arrive in Muong Cha at noon time. Following lunch, we head toward Dien Ben Phu, undulating the road along the small river through tiny towns, colorful rice fields, and fruit orchards along hillsides. The roads are smooth and more down the up, allowing us to enjoy watching tiny stilt houses and vast valleys alongside the rivers.
