Cycling in Vietnam:
Vietnam's number of visitors for tourism and vacation has increased steadily over
the past ten years. About 5 million international guests visited Vietnam last year. The government and private enterprises are investing capital into the coastal regions that are already popular for their beaches and boat tours. Besides those regular tours, Vietnam is perhaps one of the best countries for cycling vacations. It gives travelers more chances to see the countryside and experience local life, compared with other methods of travel.
Popular destinations include: Hanoi, Saigon, Phong Nha, Hue (the old imperial capital), World Heritage Sites like Hoi An and the Cham temples of Mỹ Sơn, the coastal city of Nha Trang, the caves of Ha Long Bay, the Marble Mountains, and the Mekong Delta.
