  Our first stop is a small family kitchen, where bánh bèo (steamed rice cakes) are prepared for breakfast using the traditional method. It’s a simple, delicious insight into daily life in the countryside before we continue riding to one of Hoi An’s most beautiful villages, where we stop at a family home to learn about the tradition of family chapels. From here, the route follows small canals and waterways towards a wooden boat-building site. Fishing remains the lifeblood of the province, and the sight of craftsmen shaping hulls by hand is a highlight for photographers. If the timing is right, you’ll also see families gathered by the shore cleaning their fishing nets between journeys at sea. Our final stops include a family-run distillery where rice wine is still made in the same way it has been for generations. You’re welcome to sample a glass, or for the adventurous, try the stronger local version infused with herbs! After that, it is time to ride back to Hoi An.

  We pedal past rice fields and vegetable farms along small canals and waterways towards a wooden boat-building site. Fishing is still the lifeblood of the province and the construction of these ships is quite amazing to witness and photograph. If the timing is right, we'll also see families gathered to clean fishing nets between journeys at sea. The roads narrow again to concrete paths and our final stops include a traditional mat weaving shop and a family distillery where rice wine has been produced in the same manner for generations. Of course, samples are provided. It's a short ride from here to where we board a local ferry for a trip back to town.
