While Hanoi is known for its buzzing streets, ancient temples, and street food, few visitors realize that just a few kilometers beyond the Old Quarter lies a serene and culturally rich world waiting to be discovered. Hanoi countryside cycling offers the perfect blend of relaxation, exploration, and authentic connection with local life.
Trade the sound of honking horns for chirping birds, replace skyscrapers with rice paddies, and glide through quiet villages where the pace of life remains unchanged for generations. Whether you have just half a day or want a full-day adventure, this is the best way to escape the city—without leaving the soul of Vietnam behind.
Cycling just outside of Hanoi offers a breath of fresh air—literally and figuratively. Enjoy shaded paths along dikes, dirt lanes between rice fields, and calm village roads where friendly locals still wave as you pass by.
On a bike, you’ll have access to places buses can’t reach. Visit ancient pagodas, traditional communal houses, and family-run craft workshops. Learn about ancestral worship, local farming methods, and even join in tea with villagers.
The countryside terrain around Hanoi is flat and beginner-friendly. Whether you're a solo traveler, a couple, or a family with kids, this ride is suitable for all ages and abilities.
Explore the Red River dike trail and cross the iconic Long Bien Bridge, built by the French in the early 20th century. Ride through vegetable gardens, banana plantations, and hidden islets in the heart of the river.
This route takes you through flower farms and farming villages to Bat Trang, Vietnam’s most famous ceramic village. Try your hand at pottery, explore local markets, and cycle back through peaceful riverside paths.
Head northeast to explore the ancient Co Loa Citadel, the capital of Vietnam in the 3rd century BC. This ride offers a mix of history, mythology, and countryside beauty.
Venture slightly farther out to Duong Lam, known for its laterite brick houses, temples, and centuries-old wells. Cycle through mustard fields, pagodas, and quiet hamlets that reflect Vietnam’s rural heritage.
Cycling around Hanoi may look easy on a map—but getting the most out of the countryside experience requires local insight, a well-planned route, and reliable gear. That’s where Golden Cycling Tours comes in.
