The bus eases out of Hanoi before dawn, rice paddies sliding past like stacked green envelopes. By late morning the limestone islands of Halong Bay appear—jagged silhouettes rising from glassy water—and by day three you swap deck chairs for a jungle-scented bike through Cat Ba and, later, highland trails around Sapa where terraced rice fields step up toward peaks cloaked in mist.
