点评:To put it simply, our two day trip from Phong Nha to Hue via a night in Khe Sanh was one of the most incredible experiences we’ve ever had. It’s a journey we will never forget and it was made possible by four of the friendliest, most helpful riders you could meet. As a family of four, (54, 53, 24, 21) we booked two days, 220km along the Ho Chi Minh trail from Phong Nha to Khe Sanh, a night in Khe Sanh and then another couple of hundred kms to Hue. The first day was nothing short of spectacular. We were almost alone on the Ho Chi Minh trail, riding through mountains, jungles, visiting remote villages, seeing a very different side of Vietnam to the usual tourist route. Khe Sahn was the same, a Vietnam that isn’t built for tourists, dinner was probably my favourite night of our three week trip despite the two star hotel (it had air con, WiFi and a bed; it was all we needed). The second day allowed us to see the traffic of Highway 1 but also the serenity of swimming in waterfalls with no one else to be seen. This is not a trip for the faint hearted, it’s not the usual ‘up and over’ the Hai Van pass that is full of tourists on the back of bikes, it’s an adventure where you feel you are getting off the beaten track. It’s a journey you will never forget. This trip, this team, was the absolute highlight of three weeks in Vietnam. Book it, do it. You won’t regret it.
翻译:简单来说,我们从丰牙出发,经凯山过夜后抵达顺化,这为期两天的旅程是我们一生中最难忘的体验之一。这段旅程我们永生难忘,而能实现这一切则要归功于四位极其友善且乐于助人的骑手。我们一家四口(年龄分别为54岁、53岁、24岁和21岁)预订了为期两天的行程:沿着胡志明路骑行220公里从丰牙抵达凯山,在凯山停留一晚后,再骑行几百公里到达顺化。第一天的旅程简直精彩至极。在胡志明小道上,几乎只有我们两个人,穿越群山与丛林,探访偏远的村庄,看到了与常规旅游路线上截然不同的越南风貌。Khe Sahn也是如此——一个并不为游客而建的越南。尽管下榻的是一家二星级酒店(不过有空调、WiFi和床铺;这正是我们所需要的),但那晚的晚餐仍是我为期三周的旅途中最难忘的一晚。第二天,我们既见识到了1号公路上的车流,也体验了独自一人在瀑布中游泳的宁静惬意。这可不是一次适合胆小者参与的旅行——它并非那种满是骑摩托车的游客、沿着常规路线穿越海云岭的常规行程,而是一场能让你感受到自己正走在鲜有人至之地的冒险之旅。这绝对是一段令人终生难忘的经历。这次旅行、这个团队,堪称我在越南三周行程中的最大亮点。赶紧预订吧,绝对不会让你后悔!
