My upcoming Vietnam Trip

Hello Guys,

I have visited Vietnam many times but as a tourists and whenever I come back from Vietnam, it seems I have missed something because tours can sometimes feels rushed.
So I planned a trip to live a life as a local, enjoy local food and stroll around places.
FYI me and my wife will be working 9-5 and we will be strolling around some local places in the evening, If we want we will book a tour during weekends.

Here is my itinerary:

1st Nov - 15th Nov : Ho Chi Mihn City
Location: Bihn Thanh
Weekend Trip: Mekong Delta Tour

15th Nov - 5th Dec: Da Nang
Location: An Hai and Nai Hien Dong
Weekend Trip: Hoi An, Ba Na Hills and Sun world

5th Dec - 12 Jan : Hanoi
Location: Westlake
Weekend Trip: Ha Long Bay Cruise

Please feel free to recommend any local cafes, restaurants, areas and stuff

Also my bookings are refundable, so please let me know If I need to change anything.

I am aware of the weather in Da Nang during November, so any other alternative things I can do?

I searched different places in Vietnam, but if anyone here can help to clear things out that will be great.

Thank you

Ha Giang Loop: What would you prioritize if you had limited time?

I've been looking into different ways to explore the Ha Giang Loop, and the more I read, the harder it gets to narrow things down.

Ma Pi Leng Pass, the Nho Que River and Dong Van all look worth including, but I also don't want to spend the entire trip rushing between stops.

For those who've done the loop, what would you prioritize if you only had 3–4 days?

Would you spend more time on the mountain roads and viewpoints, or make room for activities like a boat trip on the Nho Que River?

Interested in hearing what actually worked for you, especially regarding travel time and pacing.

[need advice] Ha Giang Loop - MotorVentures

Hello! I need some advice. I’m planning to do the Ha Giang Loop (4D3N) starting December 7, and I’m thinking of going with Motorventures. But I have a few concerns…

1. How physically demanding is it?
For context, I’m a 37F solo traveler who isn’t particularly physically fit and has bad knees 😂 Do you think I’ll survive it?
2. I’m planning to get an Easy Rider.
Is it true that I don’t need any motorbike/riding experience at all if I’m going as a passenger?
3. What’s the weather like around this time?
Would I still get those amazing mountain views in early December? And how cold does it actually feel on the loop?
4. How do you guys pack for this trip?
I’ll be traveling around Vietnam before/after the loop, so I’m trying to figure out what I actually need to bring with me.

If you have any other tips for me, please send them over! 🙏 It’ll be my first time doing anything like this (an early midlife crisis sort of thing 😅).

Oh, and what do you guys think about Motorventures? Would love to hear from anyone who has done the loop with them.

Thank youuu! ❤️
