The distance from Saigon to Vung Tau is only about 120 km, it takes from 2.5 to 3 hours and it is a place so going to Vung Tau by motorbike is a very interesting experience that the people love to move and cannot ignore. . Unlike the passenger car, you just get in the car and wait until the destination, go by motorbike while observing the changing landscape on each kilometer, convenient because there is a means to go anywhere you want. Let me share the experiences of tourist Vung Tau with extremely useful motorcycles.
Prepare
Before each trip, you should take care of the "iron horse" to make sure the trip goes smoothly. The best is:
- Replace lubricant before going.
- Check the brakes and tires, make sure both have good grip. If not, replace it before going.
- Equipped with 2 rearview mirrors.
- Check headlights, turn signal lights, rear lights, horns, batteries, spark plugs ...
- All must be in the best condition and be sure to travel about 300 km.
There are 3 directions for you to choose:
Direction 1: You go to National Highway 1A, running through Dong Nai bridge for 30 km will meet an intersection called Vung Tau crossroads (some people call the old name before as Vung Tau fork), then turn right into the country Route 51 and then run straight for a circuit about 100 km more will come to Vung Tau. Those who depart from the center of the city go through Thu Thiem tunnel, run to Long Thanh highway to reach Vung Tau crossroads and get more convenient.
Direction 3: Choose 1 of 2 ways to go like above to reach National Highway 51. You keep running straight until you meet the guide to go to Long Son island when 27 km from Vung Tau. This is a shortcut to Vung Tau. The advantage of this direction is new road construction, few cars, beautiful scenery. The combination of going to Vung Tau via ferry Cat Lai in direction 2 will be the shortest street of Vung Tau.
