Full description
Feel the breeze of the Red River Delta on this countryside escape by electric scooter. Your rider carries you across Gustave Eiffel-era Long Bien Bridge and out of the city to rice paddies, grazing buffaloes and a lively village market.
At Co Loa Citadel — Vietnam’s capital more than 2,000 years ago — you visit the temple of King An Duong Vuong and hear the legend of the Golden Turtle. Unwind at a lotus garden with lotus tea and koi fish, return for egg coffee by West Lake and enjoy a Bun Cha meal. It is a peaceful, low-emission way to see rural northern Vietnam.
