7:30 AM pick up from your hotel to our bike shop. This great motorcycle tour to Ba Be Lake, northeast of Vietnam, starts at around 8 AM.

Thac Ba Lake is one of the largest and most beautiful artificial lakes in Vietnam. The lake was created as part of the hydroelectric plant project in Yen Bai in the 1960s. It boasts clear water surrounded by mountains and tropical forests. There are 30 different ethnic groups living in the surrounding regions of Thac Ba Lake. Among them, Tay, Nung, Thai, Muong, Dzao, and Kho Mu ethnic people still proudly keep their primitive traditions and customs. Vu Linh is one of the Dzao’s beautiful villages, which is chosen by Vietnam motorbike tour experts to stay. The village is located close to the Thac Ba lake, so we can have a great chance to discover the beauty of the lake at any time. The motorbike tour to Vu Linh from Ha Giang is a light adventure.
