Hoan Kiem lake has its name because of a legend

One of the most famous destinations that you should visit in Hanoi is Hoan Kiem lake. For the day before joining our Vietnam motorbike tours, you should spend your time on walking there to enjoy the peaceful life of Hanoi. Are you curious about the name of the lake? It has its name because of a legend. According to legend, Hoan Kiem Lake is where Le Loi returned his magic sword to the Golden Turtle.

Le Loi, the youngest of three sons of an aristocratic nobleman in Lam Son, Thanh Hoa province is one of Vietnam’s greatest heroes. He became a landowner and an administrator in the area of his birth. During the time around 1407, Vietnam was dominated by the Ming Chinese and Le Loi pledged to free his country from Chinese rule after he personally witnessed the destruction of a Vietnamese village by a Ming military force.

During the war against the Minh aggressors, Le Loi was given a precious fairy Sword by the Golden Turtle God. With this sword, he finally defeated the Chinese and reclaimed the nation’s independence after 10 years of struggling. On a nice day, while boating on lake Luc Thuy, a large turtle came towards him and grabbed the sword with its mouth and submerged. The king tried to find out the turtle and the sword also but could not find either the turtle or the sword. He realized that the God must have lent him the sword to drive back the enemy, but then that his nation was free, the sword must be returned. Hence, King Le Thai To named the lake Ho Hoan Kiem or Lake of the Restore Sword after this episode.

Hoan Kiem Lake is considered one of the first things to see in Hanoi when one arrives in this bustling capital city. You can discover a lot of relics around the lake. And during the days on our Vietnam Motorcycle Tours, you can share your feeling with us about the lake.

With our Vietnam motorcycle tours you will experience the thrill of independent motorbikes travel without the worry of communication difficulties. You will have the safety net of an experienced local guide to bridge the language gap and show you a side of the country that you might otherwise miss.

Hoi An, a coastal city in the middle of Vietnam, 835km southeast of Hanoi and 865km northeast of Ho Chi Minh City is always considered as one of the best destinations that all riders who book our Vietnam motorbike tour should ride there. Located in Quảng Nam province in the middle of Vietnam. The Old Town of Hoi An is recognized as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO on the 4th, December 1999.

Hoi An has a long history and it’s name has changed several times. In the 1st century the city was known as Lâm Ấp Phố, meaning Champa City. During the 16th and 17th the town was called Hai Pho, meaning seaside town. To the French and Spanish the town was known as “Faifo”, and had similar names in Portuguese and Dutch. The culture of Hoi An is influenced by many different cultures, for example: first is the Cham people whose kingdom originally stretched from Hue to Phan Thiet. The Cham people were Hindu, but by the 10th century the influence of Arab traders resulted in some to become Muslims. The second was from the Chinese, traders as well as the armies from the Ming Dynasty who settled in Hoi An for many years before moving further south and creating Saigon as a major trading port. The third was from the Vietnamese and is fairly recent and only came after the Cham lost their control of this area.

The visitors of Vietnam motorcycle travel coming to Hoi An when The Full Moon Festival is held on the evening of the 14th of every lunar month will see many lanterns because there will be no electric lighting. Lanterns are floating on the river, hanging from the houses, in short everywhere lanterns. This gives a very special atmosphere to the old town illuminated with beautifully decorated and colourful lanterns along every lane. This tradition to decorate the ancient town in Hoi An with multi-coloured lanterns, started more than three centuries ago. Besides, the local authorities hold a lot of activities to preserve the traditional features including traditional games such as trong quan, bai choi, and dap nieu that attract local people and tourists doing Vietnam motorbike rides a lot.

Traffic in Hoi An is minimal, so you do not have to meet traffic jam here. If you are afraid of getting on a bike in any big cities in Vietnam, small towns and the surrounding countryside like Hoi An are ideal to riding a bicycle and get used to the road rules. The centre of Hoi An is very small, so discovering Hoi An on foot is a good choice. However, motorbikes have not been banned from the center, so keep an eye out for motorized kamikazes, especially in the most narrow alleys.

In Vietnam, only Hoi An over the next 200 years still keep its original streets and builings and has unique cultural characteristics. All things here are remained almost untouched by the changes of the process. The centre is full of memories of the past. There are many interesting buildings you can visit. There are also many craft shops, including traditional Vietnamese ceramics, fabric production, silk materials and art paintings.

Now, let’s go to enjoy the ancient town Hoi an with us by joining our Vietnam motorbike tours.

So surprised with one of the best specialities in Sapa

With our Vietnam motorcycle tours you will experience the thrill of independent motorbikes travel without the worry of communication difficulties. You will have the safety net of an experienced local guide to bridge the language gap and show you a side of the country that you might otherwise miss.

Many riders when joining our Vietnam motorbike tours are so surprised with a special kind of pigs in Sapa. So, let discover together about them:

Sapa is famous for so-called "carried-under-arm" pigs – a meal of freely-fed local pigs which will be caught, then carried under arms to bring to the market mall for sales whenever Sapa people need money.

Self feeding on steep slopes and struggling with the Sapa cold weather throughout the whole year has made this type of pig's meat more shriveled. A mature "carried-under-arm" pig only weighs less than ten kilograms (so that we are able to carry them under arms).

Pigs after being cleaned and embalmed will be then grilled or roasted as the whole. Its meat is very thin: the first layer is a crisp skin then a soft sweet layer of pulp, just 2 centimeters thick; and in the deepest layer is bones, usually small in appearance and soft so that we can eat all of them if not the shinbones. When enjoying "carried-under-arm" pigs together with sipping a cup of Sapa wild cat apple wine, over night is not impossible to riders who join Vietnam dirt bike tours.

This kind of pigs is released into the forest when they are young to find foods.
Eating a "carried-under-arm" pig is like eating wild animals without violation because breeding of highland people like: Dao, Thai, Mong..This is a featured traditional pig which needn't breeding of local highland people.

If you want to have a flock of "carried-under-arm" pigs, you only need to buy a couple of which are male one and female one and then you free them into the forest near your house. This couple will go along together, make their nest in the forest and make their living by themselves. In the breeding season, they copulate and reproduce a flock of 10 young pigs which are only bigger than our big toes.

This kind of pigs has the great robustness; they can live only by finding bulbs and roots of forest trees and chewing leaves. New-laid pigs can go and find for foods by themselves. They only follow their parents some days and then separate from their parents. It is special that they can find for foods in the forest, but they don't go away and only hang about a certain place in the forest. Some families create the living habit for them that they will come back to their nests made by their hosts right in the space under or after the house.

Some flocks of pigs "hiding" in the forest remark their territory. To observe whether their flocks of pigs are mature or not, they only go to the forest and find out their nests in the evening. These pigs' nests are made from dry branches or leaves. Catching them is very easy because they only need to take a featured call seduce and catch them. Because they aren't bred by human, these pigs grow very slowly. Each year, they only increase 10 kilograms for maximum and they nearly don't increase their weighs. By eating grass and leaves, they slowly grow but their meats are very delicious and good. There are many ways of processing "carried-under-arm" pigs like: steaming, boiling, baking, fumigating, stir-frying and so on.

Nowadays, there have been so many restaurants with the specialty of "carried under arm" pigs. Tourists doing Vietnam motorcycle travel have to pass so much difficulty getting there to taste "artificial forest meat" and use their bests to compliment this kind of meat. A local owner said that his restaurant servers this kind of pig for hundreds of tourists who come here. In his house, there are hundreds of pigs available.

To meet the customers' demands, he has a team going to remote areas to find for supply of "carried under arm" pigs. Besides, he also find for this kind of pig to sell for many places. Some years ago, when Lai Chau town wasn't founded, restaurants of specialties are little, which is in the contrast of that nowadays. Restaurants of 'carried under arm" pigs have been in many plains. In Lai Chau, "carried under the aim" pig is one of the dishes in weddings, parties and so on.

If you join our motorcycle tours Vietnam, with a tour to visit Sapa, we will treat you a dish of this "carried-under-arm" pig!

The northwest of Vietnam is fast becoming famous as the 'land of traditional festivals'

On a rainy summer's day in Ha Noi, some group of Western backpackers, bags fastened to their muddy Vietnam motorcycle tours, return to the crowded city after riding through some of Viet Nam's northwest provinces.

It is no surprise that in recent years, the Northwest has become a popular destination for eager Vietnamese and Western backpackers with a taste for the unfamiliar. Cultural diversity is among many reasons why tourists have flocked to the region.

The Northwest now consists of Lao Cai, Hoa Binh, Son La, Dien Bien, Lai Chau, Yen Bai, Ha Giang, Phu Tho provinces. The local markets are a vibrant hub for trade and cultural exchange, and word is spreading.

For those looking to avoid the scourge of excess luggage, the northwest is fast becoming famous as the 'land of traditional festivals'. Tourism maps boast an active calendar of fairs that have become famous across the region, including the Khau Vai ‘love market' in Ha Giang and the Bac Ha market in Lao Cai, recently voted one of the top 10 most unique fairs in Asia.

Visitors can also escape to the mountainous provinces and immerse themselves in unique folk festivals, ranging from the popular fire dancing festival of the Pa Then people to the horse races in Bac Ha.

The region's rich biodiversity provides a stunning backdrop for tours. Many tourists choose to experience nature first hand by riding through one of the many winding mountain passes in our Vietnam motorbike tours. O Quy Ho in Lao Cai and Ma Pi Leng in Ha Giang have become a rite of passage for many young visitors to the region.

Many customers have a deep impression on the fascinating Vietnam motorcycle travel along a picturesque 70km strech of road from Mu Cang Chai (Yen Bai) to Muong La (Son La). Especially, in the time of harvest season, terraced rice fields in Mu Cang Chai are always the highlight of our motorbike tours Vietnam.

"It was one of the most treacherous sections in the northwest and a main destination for backpackers, amazing for Vietnam dirt bike tours. Sometimes we had to get off the bike to push it, because the path was so slippery. But the mountainous scene was stunning with waterfalls and streams lining the path. I also have fond memories of the dangerous zig-zag mountain paths and the charming Ha Giang landscapes."

Mu Cang Chai’s beauty is not only shown by the miraculous scenery, but also the human presence here

In many motorbike tours Vietnam, you can see Mu Cang Chai’ terraced rice fields are always the highlight of our tour.

Mu Cang Chai is a western district of the Yen Bai province in Northern Vietnam. Mu Cang Chai is famous for its terraced fields. The terraced fields here are mostly located in three towns: La Pan Tan, Che Cu Nha and Ze Xu Phinh. These three towns were ranked as National Famous Landscapes and worth to visit in your Vietnam motorcycle travel. Due to that, from September to October, the fanciful scenery of terraced fields during the harvest season attracts many photographers to this area.

The mountain pass, Khau Pha, with a 30km-long, and high slope, make the Northwest area full of obstacles and difficult to access, but deep in mystery. When joining our Vietnam motorcycle tours, all riders can have a chance to overcome the mountain pass and for sure, all of you will be satisfied with the view of the terraced fields in the dusky mist and pure white clouds. The terraced fields, as hundreds of different soft ridges, make up the framework of this land with an altitude over 1000m, which captivates hearts. The all-yellow hillsides of ripe rice seedlings, circling around the terraces – all of these things make up a dreamy beauty; enchanting, romantic and serene. This is a very distinguishing beauty; generous for all visitors who love adventure and beautiful scenery, but only during the special Mu Cang Chai harvest season. There are also round roads – no matter how many times visitors turn around, they will be surprised by Mu Cang Chai’s amazing beauty in each turn. Terraced fields and ripe rice seedlings are mixed under the hands of nature, creating an endless sea of yellow. These appear and disappear alternately with the small houses of the ethnic people, which stretches to the top of mountain.

Mu Cang Chai’s beauty is not only shown by the miraculous scenery, but also the human presence here. The vision of the ethnic people harvesting the ripe, full-yellow rice seedling is like a mixture of colors, brightening up the corner of the Northwest sky. The pattern on the colorful costumes of the ethnic people here is drawn by beeswax mixed with color. Therefore, the costumes of the ethnic people in Mu Cang Chai always have special colors that no other dyes can create. Normally, people here harvest in the afternoon, since it’s the time when the sunshine is most bright. People are hurrying for the harvest season, otherwise all of the ripe seedling rice will fall down and there will be no more sunshine to dry it up. There are families with relatives of all generations to help with harvesting. Families take turns harvesting from one family to the next until it’s all harvested. Even the Red Dao ethnic minority woman brings her newborn baby with her while in the fields to harvest.
