Cycling trip to the countryside of Hoian.

Besides the city, Hoian is also famous for its scenery villages such as Kim Bong village, Tra Que village, An My village. If you are confident with your cycling skills, you can easily get a bike from your hotel with/without charge. It will be leisure to cycling along the road cross rice paddies. Then you go to vegetable garden in Tra Que, or cross the prawn farms from Tra Que to An My village with spectacular scene. If you can driving cross the river to Kim Bong village, via the metal bridge or on a local boat. The local boat used to be ferry, but now they just used the small boat since the bridge was built.

It will be a wonderful ride where you can know more and learn more about daily life of locals, different traditional ways of making wooden boat, carving wood, making rice paper and weaving sleeping mat. You can do it with some company that do bicycle trip, or with the volunteer students, or explore it by your own.

Enjoy the beautiful beach of Hoian.

The beaches in Hoian are not as long as the beaches in Danang city, but it is still in a very well preserved condition. From Hoian city, it is around 4-6 km to the 2 common beaches now : An Bang beach and Ha My beach. I prefer An Bang beach because of its well facilities. You can go swimming, then chilled in a bench, sipping your drink or enjoy your beer when the sunset is coming. That is my favorite relaxation.
