where can I go on an unusual cycling holiday?

While serious cyclists will want to tackle the dramatic landscapes of the northern highlands, fans of the flat should head for the Mekong Delta in the far south.

Vietnam, recommended by Asia-Pacific travel editor Shawn Low

With its enthusiasm for long-distance cycling and main roads mostly in good shape, Vietnam is a great place to explore in the saddle. While serious cyclists will want to tackle the dramatic landscapes of the northern highlands, fans of the flat should head for the Mekong Delta in the far south. 



Its maze of rural roads is perfect for an extended trip getting to grips with the region’s vibrant agricultural life. Meander at your own pace, or take an organised tour; Sinhbalo Adventures has a range of multi-day routes (sinhbalo.com). 

Though bikes can be hired very cheaply in most towns, for peace of mind bring your own – plus a good helmet and spare parts. Set off from nearby Ho Chi Minh City, staying at the colonial era Hotel Majestic
