4 Day Vietnam Bike Tour – Riding the Ha Giang Loop and Ma Pi Leng Pass

In the final chapter of our Vietnam travel series, we’re touring around the beautiful region of Ha Giang.

We’ve been travelling around northern Vietnam with an adventure travel group from Tasmania called E3 Global Adventures and their charity Community Against Poverty.

We spent four days on the back of bikes riding around the Ha Giang Loop. This is approximately a 350km circular route up and down the mountains, staying in traditional local home stays, visiting a handful of sites of cultural interest and stopping off to deliver educational supplies to local schools and deliver water tanks to villages in some of the poorest parts of the region.

Along the way we’ll give you a glimpse of where we stayed, what we ate (and drank) and a whole lot of breathtaking scenery. So jump on board and let’s get going.

Yarn Projects (crochet/knitting)

Knitting Needles

I've only just started knitting again and have had to upgrade from my original Symfonie needles (they tend to snap quite easily). I have a set of stainless steel needles from ChiaoGoo and also an ebony set from Lantern Moon.

I like both! The stainless steel was a little hard to get used to but yarn really glides on them. I like the look and feel of the Lantern Moon set too, but unfortunately they don't come in all the sizes I tend to use so I now end up switching between the two sets.

Crochet Hooks

I've tried loads of different single hooks to find the 'perfect' hook. I finally found what I was looking for in the Clover soft touch range. The hook glides well and the thumb rest is really comfortable. Unfortunately they don't seem to be available in a set, so I have a jar full of all the sizes I like to use.

Tunisian Crochet Hooks

My favourites are these from Lantern Moon, they're super comfortable and glide really well, and the best bit is that they swivel. They are also compatible with the KnitPro Symfonie hooks (these seem less sturdy but also glide well).

I also have a set from ChiaoGoo made from bamboo. These are very lightweight but I find that they can snag on some yarns (a nail file often helps to make the hook head better).
