Cycling from Saigon to Hội An Ancient Town is an exceptionally well-preserved example of a South-East Asian trading port dating from the 15th to the 19th century. Its buildings and its …The city possessed the largest harbor in Southeast Asia in the 1st century and was known as Lâm Ấp Phố (Champa City). Between the seventh and 10th centuries, the Cham (people of Champa) controlled the strategic spice trade, and with this came tremendous wealth. The former harbor town of the Cham at the estuary of the Thu Bồn River was an important Vietnamese trading center in the 16th and 17th centuries, where Chinese from various provinces as well as Japanese, Dutch, and Indians settled.

Day 1: Saigon – Dalat ( L/D) (30 km)
7:30 Am pick you up from your hotel and departure is necessary to get the first riding of the trip completed. Drive straight to Da Lat and cycle fantastic country lanes and back roads in the shadow of Langbian mountain. The roads will be virtually trafficless, and it is a great way to get the feel of cycling in Vietnam. Dalat was established as a hill resort at the beginning of the last century by homesick French colonials who were attracted to its cool, spring-like weather, pine forests, waterfalls, and lakes. Many reminders of Dalat’s colonial past can be seen in the hundreds of European-style villas, chalets, and other buildings still standing around town. One fine example is the cream-colored art deco villa that was one of the summer homes of Vietnam’s last emperor, BAO DAI. Another slightly grander example of Dalat’s colonial architecture is the superbly restored Dalat Palace Hotel overlooking the central Xuan Huong lake. On the opposite side of Xuan Huong Lake is Vietnam's first golf course, originally built for Emperor Bao Dai and recently restored, it is now one of the top courses in the region. Apart from its colonial heritage, Dalat is known in Vietnam for its market gardens growing, everything from carrots and cauliflowers to avocado and bananas as well as many varieties of flowers. For Vietnamese Dalat means romance, and with attractions like the valley of love, it is the destination for choice for local honeymooners. A few km from Dalat, at the base of Mount Langbian, is the village of the Lat ethnic minority from whom Dalat takes its name. The Rugged country around Mount Lang offers some great off-road and on-road biking opportunities. From Dalat, the fertile plateau of the Central High land stretches northwards for hundreds of kilometers.
