If your travel plans include motorbike tours, Vietnam is a compelling destination, with its striking rice terraces, scenic coastlines, beautiful mountain passes and a well-established culture of two-wheeler transport. Ride over the peaks of the O Quy Ho Pass, glide through the Dong Van rock plateau, and admire the terraced rice paddy fields as you hit the road in Mu Cang Chai in northern Vietnam. Or step up the adventure with an off-road loop along the China border from Ba Be Lake to the Ban Gioc waterfall, crossing local markets of the hill tribes and high mountains. Admire coffee fields and farms and stop at villages that have barely changed for centuries while riding from Dalat to Lak Lake in the Central Highlands. Motorbike tours in Vietnam also offer an extensive coast where you can cruise from Cua Viet to Cua Tung beaches, a short but pretty ride.
