• Begin your journey in the early hours of the morning (approximately 4:30 am – 4.45 am) to see Hanoi in a way few tourists ever get to experience.
• Bike for 3-5 km with to the Hanoi morning flower market; this is the busiest time of the day at the market where you will see the local vendors in action. The array of colours and activities on display makes for some truly unique photo opportunities.
• Take a short ride to the West Lake on top of Hanoi's old quarter, where you will see early risers begin their morning exercise. This is a very busy time of the day for the local inhabitants of Hanoi, and you may see Tai Chi, badminton and a range of other activities along the bank of the lake.
• Stop in front of the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum to see the flag-raising ceremony. Continue cycling past famous landmarks, including the city's flag tower, the statue of Lenin, which is the last standing in the country.
• Cycle over the Long Bien Bridge and back (7 km). Built-in 1903 and formally known as the Paul Droumer Bridge, it was an engineering feat in the French colonial times. It was bombed relentlessly during the American War to break key supply lines to Hanoi from the port city of Hai Phong. The bridge today still bears the scars of this period.
• After cycling over the bridge, you will cycle back to Hanoi's old quarter to stop at a coffee shop for an egg coffee, a famous treat of Hanoi.

Come back to the hotel at approximately 7.45 am, where your tour will end.
