During the resistance war against the US, the Ho Chi Minh Trail (also known as Truong Son Street) was the route to transport weapons, goods, food, troops and so on to South Vietnam. Today, this road is considered as the most beautiful route of Vietnam trekking tours that appeals many motorbike riders.
Ho Chi Minh Trail gives us the opportunity to discover many strange places. It stretches to the west, through many new and hilly areas, so it provides farther, and more curving road. The Ho Chi Minh route is now quite flat, much better than NH1, less limited in speed and there doesn’t have many cars or trucks so it is easy to reach higher speed. Also, along the route, there are many beautiful landscapes given by nature, as well as numerous attractive tourist attractions such as Mo Ngoc, Hang Bua, Hang Thang, Phong Nha-Ke Bang, and Dong Loc junction.
