You peel away from Hanoi’s morning bustle on two wheels, the city shrinking behind rows of mopeds and glass towers. The road runs into flat rice country, then starts to climb; green hills of Ba Vi rise ahead, their slopes threaded with old forest and mossed stone ruins. The air cools as you approach the French-built hill station and the park’s higher ridges—this is a ride that balances steady cruising with short bursts of steep switchbacks.
