More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
A day on the coast begins with the engine’s steady thrum and a road that peels away from Hue’s quiet imperial outskirts. Salt spray and mountain pines tussle as you climb toward Hai Van Pass, the road rolling through hairpins with the South China Sea daring you below. On an EasyRider ride you’re usually a pillion or matched with a local rider — the pace is conversational and cinematic at once.
