We’ll cross the famous Long Bien bridge and zipping along the maze of the zigzagging alleys in the outskirt villages of Hanoi on the other side of the Red river. Leaving the city behind, we then get to the countryside, riding along the winding country roads, taking us to the paddy fields to meet friendly local people where the live and work in their farms and livestock such water buffalos, ducks, chickens, cows… It is a great opportunity to have hands-on experiences about farming works and building cultural connections.
