Day 2 - VIETNAM NORTH-WEST MOTORBIKE TOURS: Mai Chau motorcycle tour to Phu Yen (Son La)
Mai
Chau is one of the closest places to Hanoi where you can experience a
'real' Montagnard village. In the morning we take a short walk around
village to discover local life. Life in the countryside starts early so
by sunrise there is a wealth of activity. The Thai women are masterful
weavers who ensure that there is plenty of traditional-style clothing
to buy in the village centre. You will see women weaving on looms under
or inside their houses in the village We can buy some handmade
traditional-style clothing, knife or cross-bow.
After breakfast in home-stay, we say goodbye to villagers and leave Mai Chau around 10 am. We ride from Mai Chau to the direction of Moc Chau, where we have lunch. This highland town produces some of Vietnam's best tea and is a good place to stock up. The surrounding area is also home to several ethnic minorities, including Green H'mong, Dzao, Thai and Muong. Moc Chau boasts a pioneering dairy industry that started in the late 1970s with Australian (and, later, UN) assistance. The dairy provides Hanoi with such delectable iuxur us as fresh milk, sweetened condensed milk and little tooth-rotting bars called “Banh sua”.
After lunch, we turn to the less travelled Road 43 leading to the Da River, crossing the reservoir of Da river at Van Yen ferry, then ride on a beautiful winding secondary road until Phu Yen mountain town (a district of Son La Province in the Northwestern region of Vietnam), where we stay in a basic guest-house.

Day 3 - VIETNAM NORTH-WEST MOTORBIKE TOURS: Phu Yen motorcycle tour to Son La City
Continuing
our motorbike tour on the almost empty Road 37 we enter mountains
heavily populated with Black Thai people, who work on large terraced
rice fields. The winding road passes through many Thai villages and
fields and provides a great opportunity to watch country life passing
by. We continue through rolling hills before rising up to the sugar cane
growing areas on the cooler Son La plateau.
Late lunch in Son La City, the capital of Son La Province, before we visit The Old French Prison & Museum. It was once the site of a French penal colony where anticolonial revolutionaries were incarcerated. It was destroyed by the infamous “off-loading” of unused ammunition by US warplanes that were returning to their bases after bombing raids, but it has been partially restored. Rebuilt turrets and watch towers stand guard over the remains of cells, inner walls and a famous lone surviving peach tree. The tree, which blooms with traditional “Tet flowers”, was planted in the compound by To Hieu, a former inmate from the 1940s. To Hieu has subsequently been immortalised. with various landmarks now named after him.
