Want to truly experience Vietnam’s soul? There's no better way than cycling through its heritage-rich landscapes, ancient towns, and timeless culture. Vietnam Heritage by bicycle is more than a tour—it's a personal journey through history, nature, and the warmth of the Vietnamese people.
From the imperial grandeur of Hue to the lantern-lit charm of Hoi An and the karst wonders of Ninh Binh, every pedal stroke brings you closer to the heart of Vietnam’s heritage. Whether you're a culture seeker, cycling enthusiast, or nature lover, this experience promises unforgettable memories.
Let’s discover what makes this ride so unique—and how Golden Cycling Tours can help you enjoy every kilometer with ease and insight.
Cycling gives you an up-close, slow-paced way to absorb the beauty, history, and culture that fast tours often miss. Here’s why heritage cycling is growing in popularity:
🚴 Immersive travel: You don’t just see Vietnam—you live it, from temple visits to conversations with locals in small villages.
🌿 Eco-friendly exploration: Bicycles leave no carbon footprint, letting you travel responsibly.
🏯 Access to hidden gems: Reach places tour buses can’t—rural pagodas, countryside markets, ancient ruins.
📸 Incredible photography opportunities: Capture Vietnam’s scenic, cultural, and human richness up close.
Heritage cycling is slower, deeper, and infinitely more meaningful.
Start your journey in Hanoi, where colonial architecture, ancient pagodas, and bustling street life blend harmoniously. Cycle through the Old Quarter, around Hoan Kiem Lake, and visit the Temple of Literature—Vietnam’s first university.
Just south of Hanoi lies Ninh Binh, a UNESCO-listed gem with limestone peaks, rice fields, and ancient temples. Ride through Trang An, explore Hoa Lu (ancient capital), and visit Bich Dong Pagoda perched on a mountain cliff.
Cycle through the historic streets of Hue, Vietnam’s imperial capital. Discover the Citadel, Forbidden Purple City, and the Royal Tombs nestled along the Perfume River. Don’t miss the peaceful ride to Thien Mu Pagoda.
No heritage tour is complete without Hoi An, a perfectly preserved trading town. Ride through the Ancient Town, past Japanese Covered Bridge, and along riverside paths where old meets new. The countryside surrounding Hoi An is perfect for scenic cycling among rice paddies and coconut groves.
A short ride from Hoi An brings you to My Son, a Hindu temple complex dating back to the 4th century. Tucked in a jungle valley, it's a quiet, mystical place—perfect to explore by bike in the early morning.
