A ride around north eastern Vietnam on a scooter is a trip that you won't regret choosing!
There is a viewpoint that overlooks the entire valley that surrounds Yen Minh; the green hills emerge from the flat landscape, creating a lovely panoramic view. There are two famous "twin peaks" knowns as the Two Fairies that are very clearly visible from the viewpoint and throughout the descent as you approach the town of Yen Minh. The route is rarely used by tourists, adding to the sensation of authenticity.
There are a number of canteens, where I was able to try some Vietnamese dishes that I chose at random - and was never disappointed! The people are friendly and many different ethnic minorities live in the region. The town itself isn't exactly a must-see, but the surrounding area definitely is. The crops growing on the plains and the nearby mountains lend the landscape its colour, and you can't help taking it all in with your eyes wide open!
