Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Grasshopper Adventures, Hoi An 560000 Vietnam
Meet at 7:15am at the Grasshopper Adventures shop at #621 Hai Ba Trung Street. Walk 20m up the small alleyway and you’ll see the shop on your left behind the green gates. Your guide will fit your bike, give a safety briefing, and provide an overview of the tour.
Duration: 15 minutes
Stop At: Hoi An, Hoi An, Quang Nam Province
Hoi An town:
Cycling along small and quiet alleyways we reach the riverfront of the historic district, long before crowds descend on the city. It’s a great time for photos.
Hoi An Countryside:
Crossing the river, we leave the city behind on our way to My Son, venturing off on to rural pathways accessible only to bikes and motorbikes. It’s not long before we are pedaling through small villages, past family farms and rice fields, greeting workers along our way. Depending on the season, we pass rice, corn and even sunflower fields as we explore a very different landscape to that of the city. We’ll see hardly any four- wheeled vehicles as we through a network of shortcuts and connections that only locals would know. The Cham Ruins of My Son lie ahead.
Duration: 1 hour
Stop At: My Son Sanctuary, Duy Phu Vietnam
After replenishing our energy with a healthy snack of fresh fruit with local coffee or tea, it is a short transfer to the entrance to this UNESCO World Heritage site.
New regulations require we park our bikes and board electric shuttle vans to the main ruins.
The temples and towers of My Son were built by the Cham people, initially Hindu and later of Muslim faiths. The Cham Kingdom once dominated the region and was eventually conquered by the Vietnamese and Khmer. Descendants of the original tribes are now scattered throughout the region, mostly along inland waterways.
