Discover Hanoi by Motorbike
A private motorbike is one of the best ways to explore Hanoi beyond its major monuments.
Ride through narrow streets, residential alleys, riverside roads and local neighborhoods that are difficult to experience from a tour bus.
You can stop easily for photographs, local food and spontaneous discoveries along the way.
Long Bien Bridge
Begin your Hanoi adventure at Long Bien Bridge, one of the city’s most historic structures.
Built during the French colonial period, the bridge crosses the Red River and remains an important part of Hanoi’s identity.
Ride across the bridge and stop at suitable viewpoints to see the river, railway and surrounding cityscape.
Long Bien Railway
Observe the railway running across Long Bien Bridge.
The bridge provides a fascinating combination of historic engineering, railway activity and modern Hanoi life.
Your guide explains its historical importance while you enjoy views over the Red River.
Red River
Continue along roads overlooking the Red River.
The river has played an important role in Hanoi’s development, agriculture and transportation.
The landscape changes dramatically from the dense city center to open river views.
Banana Island
Ride toward Banana Island, a surprising green agricultural area in the middle of Hanoi.
Despite being surrounded by the capital, the island contains vegetable gardens, banana plantations, small farms and rural paths.
Hanoi’s Urban Countryside
Explore the contrast between modern Hanoi and the agricultural landscape of Banana Island.
See farmers working in fields, tending vegetables and transporting produce.

One Pillar Pagoda

The small pagoda stands above a lotus pond and is known for its distinctive architecture.

Access and viewing areas may change due to local safety regulations, so the exact experience depends on conditions on the day.
