We commence today's ride with a 10-minute drive out of the city for a fabulous day ride. Pick up the bikes, cycle on smooth snack concrete paths, and cross rice fields to the Thanh Toan tile roof bridge. It is considered the most beautiful ancient wooden bridge in Hue. The bridge itself is traditionally detailed and designed and located in a lovely rural with rustic landscapes. It's a great time to learn the culture of locals about the villages directly from English-spoken villagers. Capture some photos of the beautiful bridge, and we continue to explore lush agricultural lands and small nostalgic villages to the lagoons.
The lagoons are where local fishermen catch natural fish and raise many kinds of fish under shallow water. We can admire and look over many small fishing sampans in long, circular shapes and fish shelters alongside roads. There will be many stops in small villages, witness about the daily life of the villagers. Followed as the itinerary planned, we ride down to coastal trails past colorful ancient cemeteries. We turn on a small path and ride flat terrain along the ocean Vinh Hien before challenging some slight hills to Phuoc Tuong Pass, and we enjoy lunch at a seafood restaurant at Lang Co beach. Following lunch, we'll challenge Hai Van Pass, break for coffee at the top, admire the breathtaking scenery of Lang Co and Da Nang bays, and downride to Da Nang City. After a day of adventure and exploration, we'll have a shuttle drive to Hoi An.
