You start before sunrise on a winding highway out of Hanoi, the bus easing toward the high country while low clouds cling to limestone ridges. By midafternoon the motorbikes are ready: helmets clack, engines cough to life, and the road climbs toward Heaven Gate where a 1,500 m crest looks down over a valley of mist.
