Itinerary
We’ll begin at our office in District 1, with a quick hello, set up your bike, and a safety rundown. Then get ready and go!
Pedal from central Ho Chi Minh City along the old Saigon Railway in District 3, I’ll share quick tales of Vietnam’s first train line from the 1880s.
Zip through District 7’s busy alleys to a hidden café shop right next to the old railway.
Hop on a short ferry from Nha Be District to the Phu Chau Floating Temple in District 8. This 200-year-old gem’s my quiet escape—step off, smell the incense, and chill.
Along the way back we’ll take a break or a light snack if necessary.
Wrap up with a relaxed ride back to District 1, rolling past the Saigon River and city buzz. We’ll land back near Ben Thanh Market—say goodbye with a full heart and tired legs!
