This morning will be a challenge, a 10k climb to Hai Van Pass which Jeremy Clarkson described as a ‘deserted ribbon of perfection’. The descent will take you to Danang for lunch, then you’ll cycle along flat land to the city of Hoi An, so stunning it has been awarded UNESCO Heritage Site status. Take a wander to soak up the atmosphere and vibrant streets and make sure you stay out late enough to see the town light up with lanterns lining the river at night.
This mornings ride will take you to My Son, a 4th century centre of Cham civilisation. The journey to My Son will be scenic and, although multiple temples were destroyed during the war, the remaining ones are still sure to impress. You will take a transfer or cycle back to Hoi An.
