Nestled in the lush, mountainous northeast of Vietnam, Cao Bang province is home to some of the most untouched and culturally rich villages in the country. Far from tourist trails and bustling cities, this region offers extraordinary biking routes through ancient valleys, stilt-house hamlets, and fields tended by ethnic communities who have lived here for generations.
With Golden Cycling Tours, you can experience authentic Vietnam from the saddle—at the perfect pace to connect with nature and people.
Cao Bang is a treasure trove of ethnic culture. It’s home to more than nine ethnic groups, including Tày, Nùng, Dao, H’mong, and San Chay. Each village you ride through reveals unique customs, dialects, house architecture, and handcrafts passed down through generations.
By biking rather than driving, you’ll not only see the beauty—you’ll feel it, smell it, and engage directly with the communities that make the region special.
Golden Cycling Tours leads you through tiny roads that weave between rice fields and limestone mountains into villages that few travelers ever reach. These places offer a raw, honest look at rural life:
Phia Thap Village – Famous for traditional handmade incense
Na Khuoi Village – Known for blacksmithing and bronze tools
Pac Rang Hamlet – Farming-focused, with photogenic bamboo bridges
Ban Ria – Perched on a mountain slope, offers panoramic valley views
Here, people may greet you in their own language, invite you into their homes for green tea, or wave shyly as they work the fields.
Our cycling routes are designed to include meaningful cultural stops, not just photo ops. You’ll have chances to:
Sit down with a Tày family for a homemade lunch
Watch Nùng women weaving brocade on handlooms
Participate in a local craft workshop—incense rolling or knife forging
Visit local schools (during weekdays) and interact with children
These encounters turn a cycling tour into an unforgettable cultural exchange.
As you ride between villages, the scenery is breathtaking:
Valleys layered with terraced rice paddies
Limestone karsts rising vertically from the earth
Crystal-clear streams where farmers wash their tools
Morning mists blanketing stilt houses and banana groves
Each route is carefully selected by Golden Cycling Tours to provide not only cultural richness but also visual poetry on every kilometer.
The best seasons to enjoy these routes are:
Spring (March to May) – Fresh, green landscapes, blooming wildflowers
Autumn (September to November) – Golden rice harvest, cool and dry weather
These seasons offer perfect temperatures for riding and clear skies for photography. Winter is possible, but expect chilly mornings. Summer is lush but humid and rainy.
