We're thinking of going to Vietnam in March for a cycle tour, would appreciate any feedback on the route route I've got going - basically a loop north from Hanoi to Ha Long via Ma Pi Leng pass.

Got a few things I've got no idea about:
- How decent quality are the roads? A read through the thread suggests they look on-par with the UK, probably will take gravel bikes though.
- We're thinking bringing tents & (wild?) camping where necessary but hotels where we can - reasonable approach?
- I'm vegetarian - how hard is going to be for food?

I’m cycling in Vietnam now.
I’d say that dropping into Buddhist temples is a good way for somewhere to stay. They’ll let you put a tent on their grounds or probably give you a room for the night. Also their food is vegetarian. You can offer to make a donation to the temple that can be some cash or even some food.
