Highlights from Vietnam: HCMC, Mekong, Hanoi, Ha Long, Ninh Binh, and Hoi An
Can an international trip that doesn't involve any motorcycles still be a unique and amazing experience? In this video, we share highlights from our recent trip exploring Vietnam's rich history, vibrant culture, and stunning landscapes. From the modern melting pot of Ho Chi Minh City, to the quiet waterways of the Mekong River Delta. Hanoi's unparalleled water puppet shows and the incredible caves of the Trang An Eco tourism center. Ha Long Bay's serene beauty and the lively markets in the ancient town of Hoi An. Yeah. Even without the motorcycles, we found Vietnam to be an absolute treasure, safe, welcoming, and incredibly beautiful.
Are complete itinerary is on PointsUnknown.com
Here are some highlights of the places we went:
Ho Chi Minh City: Where are journey began. HCMC is a thriving modern city. Great food, thriving culture, and unbelievable scooter traffic. Seriously - the scooter game that these folks have is amazing.
Mekong River Delta: We took a scenic boat trip along the Mekong River and visited a traditional brick factory. We also explored a local coconut farm to witness the fascinating coconut production process and observed folks making sleeping mats in the classic tradition.
Hanoi: By far the most surprising and amazing thing on our trip - the water puppet show. Absolutely a "must do" experience. We also enjoyed visiting the Ho Chi Minh Complex and explore the surrounding gardens and historical houses (though it was really really hot). Getting a drink in a cafe alongside the famous "Train Street" and having a train pass by inches from our table was also quite exciting.
Ninh Binh: We loved this quant adventure town with its small but lively downtown tourist area and mellow feel. Hiking to the top of Mua Mountain and the Mua Cave with its stunning views after climbing 500 steps was fantastic. And another must-do experience was the incredibly scenic boat ride at Trang An Eco-Tourism Complex, through limestone cliffs, caves, and valleys, all with breathtaking landscapes.
Ha Long Bay: We took a cruise to explore this wonder of the world - spending three days and two nights, enjoying the exquisite seascape and the ship's program. That included exploring caves, cliffs, kayaking and swimming in the beautiful surroundings. Though the program the third day was a bit redundant - the overall experience was truly magical.
Hoi An: Another beautiful ancient town with a bustling tourist district and happening night life. This is where you go to get custom suits and clothes made - as well as all kinds of other tourist shopping for factory seconds of name brand items. We also visited the My Son Sanctuary, a religious complex rich in history dating back to the 4th century, nestled amongst majestic mountains. Another memorable highlight was getting to make our very own Vietnamese lanterns. Hoi An was another one of our favorite towns that we visited.
And with that in mind, yes. Yes. We can still have fun on a non-motorcycle adventure. And given the crazy scooter and car traffic - I am kinda glad we didn't ride. It was nice to have drivers and guides showing us the way.

    The AT lured me astray of the enduro racing world back in 16'. Then I bought a T7 in 21' thinking the lighter more capable bike be better for my style. It wasn't. It was just a less comfortable and less powerful version of the AT. Both bikes are just big and unwieldy off-road, but I found the T7 more demanding than the AT. Probably because of the weight way up high and the budget suspension. Still fun but I have a much better time on the AT off-road than the T7. ON-road the AT is another level compared to the T7 and there's just no conversation there. I sold the T7. I've always wondered why people find the T7 easier to ride when I found the opposite. For me the next smallest appropriate bike to own was the 500exc-f but I only really ride that on single track.

      This is useful. I own an AT ATAS and despite the heavy weight, it is sooo good offroad due to the amazing showa electronic suspension and geometry. I was hoping to downsize to the T7 to gain more confidence and agility offroad but that might not be the case based on your experience. I might complement my AT with something even lighter like the husky 701.

Rather than waiting another week and a half for cycle terminal to order the dummy plug, what would I do if I used the ones you listed on Amazon (since those only have 2 spots for wires?) Would you leave the 3rd "hot" still connected to the old aux power and move the 2 I need for the grips over to that Amazon plug you linked? Thanks again for the help.

      Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I have a 2016 AT, standard, manual gearbox, and can't get rid of it. Yes, it is heavy, but if it keeps moving it seems much lighter. When goes down I can get it up alone, if it is not in an awkward position, but I never ride alone. As I got more confidence and experience off roading I went to more gnarly trails and I started to want a more nimble platform. The T7 was on my thoughts and tried a friend's T7, but not in serious terrain, because I had no guts to let it fall down. Anyway, we compared bikes and feelings, and I decided to keep the mighty África Twin and improve my riding skills. On road and longer rides, I feel the Africa Twin more comfortable and stable, a very linear power delivery, lots of low revs torque. To overcome the (my) limits on off road I bought an old DRZ 400E as a training platform. I would say that my skills are a lot better and improved my confidence when I take the AT to the trails. If I couldn't' have both probably I would choose a big single, as the husky 701 or the AJP PR7. To finish, I must say that when I bought my AT the T7 was not available yet. Now, probably would choose the Teneré. The AT became too expensive and sophisticated.

    Have you had to modify the kickstand?

      I didn't initially (first year). And it was okay. A little bit less leaned over, but still stable. But I recently purchased a lowered kickstand from Camel ADV, and that is a bit nicer.

    Too light in my opinion, you have to make an extruded band of at least 5mm (Bartubeless type) otherwise during tire assembly-disassembly there is the risk of ruining everything.
