Northern Vietnam - Lonely Planet road atlas and tips
We're off to Hanoi in a month time and we will be renting bikes for about 12 days to visit the northern region. We would need a detailed road atlas to complement the 1:600,000 road map I bought from Stanford.
Has anyone used the Lonely Planet road atlas that is on sale in Amazon? It's got very mixed reviews.
Alternatively we could get a road atlas in Hanoi. The problem with that is that we arrive on Saturday evening and we will leave 1st thing in the morning on Monday. Is it possible to buy a road atlas on Sunday? Or are all book shops closed?
We plan to do:
Hanoi
Xuan Mai
Tuan Giao
Dien Bien Phu
Sa Pa
Depending on time, continue further east before getting back to Hanoi.
Any tip/ location not to miss, village etc let me know!
It seems all companies rent bikes from 20USD /Day I am currently contacting few of them for bikes availability.
Cheers,
