Vietnam is a country in Southeast Asia and borders China, Laos and Cambodia. Vietnam is particularly well known for motorcycle tours on a 125cc Minsk. However, Vietnam also offers an incredible number of beautiful off-road routes. A special highlight in Vietnam is the food, you should definitely try the noodle soup “Pho” or a sandwich “Banh Mi”. The beer in Vietnam is surprisingly good and very cheap compared to European standards.
Vietnam is a country that is strongly associated with motorcycles. These means of transportation are not only the preferred means of transport for the population, but also an important cultural symbol. Motorcycles are omnipresent in the cities and on the country roads. It is estimated that there are more motorcycles than cars in the country, due to the narrow road structure and the lack of a well-developed public transportation system.
The history of motorcycle use in Vietnam dates back to the period after the Second World War. During the war, motorcycles were mainly used for military purposes. After the war, the motorcycle was adopted by the population as an inexpensive means of transportation. In recent decades, the motorcycle has become an integral part of daily life, especially in urban areas such as Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi.
Especially in rural areas of Vietnam, the motorcycle plays a key role in the transportation of goods and people. On many roads, motorcycles are the main source of transportation for crops, heavy loads and even animals. This versatility has contributed to motorcycles being seen not only as a means of transportation but also as a practical work tool.
The legendary Ho Chi Minh route, which was used by the communists during the Vietnam War, is a significant part of Vietnamese history. Today, the route is a popular destination for motorcycle travelers who want to explore the country on their own. The breathtaking landscapes and the opportunity to visit remote villages make this route an unforgettable experience for motorcyclists from all over the world.
Motorcycles are therefore more than just a means of transportation in Vietnam; they are a symbol of freedom, mobility and the close connection between people and their surroundings.
