Q: When is the best time to go to Vietnam?

答：这是容易的;在雨季不走。不幸的是，雨季的地区在全国各地有所不同。如果你正在做的采样拼盘你可能会在某个时候被水淋湿。

话虽这么说，遇到雨季体验越南的一部分。生活在继续，风雨无阻。Here’s好文章主张在雨季去越南。

我个人讨厌雨天行驶时，尤其是在2个轮子，双所以当我在度假。因此，我走我的路，以时间旅行为旱季。

规划我的行程，当我使用这些网站的区域气候模式：

• weather-and-climate.com
• weather-atlas.com
• climate-data.org

以下是简短的总结：

• 走 to Saigon in the winter.It will still be insanely hot, but at least it won’t be insanely hot AND raining.
• 走 to Da Nang and the Central Highlands in February/March time frame.There will be minimal rain and moderate temperatures.
• 走 to Hanoi and Northern Vietnam in the spring or the fall, as the wet season in Northern Vietnam falls in the middle of the summer.
  • Note: I toured Northern Vietnam in the spring due to other constraints, but if I could recommend a specific time it would be the fall so you can experience the rice harvest.

计时您的旅行时，你的功课。你不想露面，花的全部时间用湿脚。

-WhoWhatWhen其中WhyHow-

正如前面指出的职位，旅游业正在蓬勃发展的越南。这些钱涌入这个国家是帮助许多财政一个双刃剑，但它是在一个文化成本。

主要的旅游目的地已经走了的企业，并为道路改善，旅游巴士路线前往该国更多的农村地区。例如，在2013年达到游客萨帕将采取一夜的火车，然后换乘巴士要上档次爬到城市。在2014年新河内 - 老街高速公路打通;现在游客可以在其位于河内市中心的酒店得到回升，并在沙巴不到5个小时后。现在是让你的自行车和旅游巴士路线之前经历那些偏僻的地方，扩大和彻底杀灭当地文化的时间。

这种说法可能会得罪一些，但也有在越南一些地区，我会考虑大众旅游到已经被“毁”：下龙湾，惠安和沙巴。

• I’ll give you workarounds for enjoying Ha Long Bay and Hoi An.
• There are many alternatives to Sapa;my recommendation is Bac Ha market and the Ha Giang Loop.

Q: Where are the “good” moto roads?

答：几乎无处不在。看看东南亚的地形图：

看到那些绿色的颠簸部分？这些都是山区。这些都是哪里好道路。作为额外的奖励越小艇已经完成了所有的绘图工作已经：

- 越南北部 -

现在，让我们放大越南北部：

河内位于延伸南部和东部到大海的大平原。有山，西与北。北部山区面朝大海ARC和他们进入北部湾成为他们的标志性的下龙湾。

大部分越南北部人口生活在这片平原上的，伟大的骑行道路在山中，游客都在下龙湾和沙巴。

这里是我的“必须看到”在越南北部。请记住我“必须看到”从减速机和历史爱好者的观点。这绝不是一个全面的列表，这只是地方我去过，可以推荐一试。

Hanoi Area – The Must See List:

• The Hanoi Citadel (UNESCO World Heritage Site)
• The Hanoi Hilton
• 越南 Military History Museum
• 越南 Museum of Ethnology
  • 这是市中心以西约6公里,但磨破th the ride / Grab fare.
• B52 Victory Museum
• B52 in the Lake
• Hanoi Street Murals
• Hanoi Train Street (supposed to be closed, but like most things in VN your results may vary)
  • This street in Hanoi has trains, not cars.The train passes through approximately twice per day.
  • Living right on the tracks seems crazy at first, but you quickly realize that this is one of quietest places around;越南ese cities are LOUD places.
  • The best time to go is when the train IS NOT running.什么时候 the train is scheduled all of the instagramers show up.什么时候 there is no train it is a nice quiet place to relax and have a beer.

Hanoi Area, if you have more time:

• National Museum of Vietnamese History
• Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum
  • Similar to a US Presidential Library, but on propaganda steroids.
• 越南 National Fine Arts Museum

Northern Mountains:

• Bac Ha Sunday Morning Market
  • This market is one of my top 5 best memories of Vietnam.It is a true rural market, locals come in from the countryside with crops and animals to sell, and others come in to stock up on supplies for the week.
  • What was a relatively isolated market is now within striking distance of tour buses from Sapa.If for no other reason, this is why you need to get to Vietnam sooner rather than later.
  • Buses start arriving from Sapa/Lao Cai around 815am or so.You’ll want to be out wandering the market around 6-6:30am if you want to experience the locals chatting, haggling, and living life undisturbed by the unwashed masses.
  • Being out and about at 630am means that you are going to need to spend the night in Bac Ha.I have no hotel recommendations because there is no way I’d recommend the place we stayed at.

• Ha Giang Loop:
  • 走ogle it.This entire region is brilliant.Take as many days as you possibly can to explore the area.
  • There are a lot of backpackers (bike-packers?) in this area, they have definitely gotten here first.
  • Most bikepackers stay on the main loop, but there are miles of backroads and dozens of villages to explore.
  • It is possible to take a bus from Hanoi to Ha Giang city and rent a bike there, but I recommend taking a couple of days to ride there from Hanoi.
  • You’ll need a $10 permit to travel North of Ha Giang.There is a checkpoint where you will need to show your permit and possibly your International Driving Permit.
  • Hereis a good article on how to get a permit, but the address in the article is now incorrect, the article lists the OLD immigration office.
  • The correct address to get your permit is theNew Immigration Officeat this government building in Ha Giang: 292 Trần Phú, P.Trần Phú, Hà Giang, Vietnam.
  • In Ha Giang we stayed at the Hotel Phoenix (Khách sạn Phoenix) on the south side of town.It was REALLY nice with an awesome breakfast.Highly recommended.
