Departing from Hue Smile Office, we leave the ancient capital behind and begin an unforgettable cycling journey toward one of Vietnam’s most beautiful bays – Lang Co Beach.

Our day starts gently with a warm-up ride to Thanh Toan Covered Bridge, located in one of Hue’s oldest villages. Here, you can step back in time and discover traditional rural life through preserved agricultural tools and authentic village scenery.

From there, the adventure continues as we cycle through charming countryside roads toward Lang Co Beach, passing Truong Ha Bridge and Tu Hien Estuary. Along the way, you will experience a vivid slice of local life - peaceful villages, communal houses, fishing communities, and serene coastal landscapes. A rewarding climb over Phuoc Tuong Hill adds excitement before we transfer the final 40 km to Lang Co.

The highlight of the day awaits as we tackle the legendary Hai Van Pass - one of the most scenic coastal roads in Vietnam. At the summit, pause to capture breathtaking panoramic views of the ocean and Da Nang City stretching out far below - a truly unforgettable moment.
