Chat with Artisans

HUE CYCLING TOUR - CHAT WITH ARTISANS 

Hue Rain is not really a big deal when your willingness to explore the beauty of places, life and people is bigger!

Today, we took a ride and walked through the market where life emerged lively and beautifully in colors. Then we rode along the river bank to Bao Vinh ancient town, enjoyed "chè" (sweet porridge) while waiting for the boat to cross the river. Our friends, Michele Tezza andEros ZAgo had a great chance to experience the paper flower making at Thanh Tien village and traditional painting at Sinh village. It was so enjoyable and rain somehow added more senses to this trip that "we are singing in the rain" on the way back to the city.

If you would like to explore these incredible things, do not hesitate to contact us.
