Start pedaling along the Red River dyke for a bit before taking a small trail that goes through popcorn, vegetable and fruit gardens. You’ll mostly ride on quiet roads surrounded by nature and charming countryside villages.
After about two hours of biking, you’ll get to Bat Trang village, a small village on the other side of the Red River, about 13 kilometers southeast of Hanoi center. The village is famous for its beautiful ceramic and pottery products.
Enjoy lunch at a local restaurant.
After lunch, take a short tour of the village and check out the ceramic market, the Bat Trang communal house and the daily life of the locals. Walk through narrow alleys that twist and turn in different directions.
Before heading back, stop by a local workshop where you’ll learn how to make pottery. You can even try to make your own pottery before saying goodbye to your “teacher” and getting back on your bike.
Follow a different road and bike for two more hours back to Hanoi.
The tour will end around 15:30 – 16:00, at your hotel in Hanoi. That’s the end of the Hanoi Countryside Biking Tour Bat Trang Village 1 Day.
