After breakfast, you started the cycling trip by following the main road for three kilometers to Lech village of the Red Dao minority, observing the magnificent valley view on the way. Here you left our bikes and took a short walk on dirt road to visit a traditional Red Dao family, where we experienced the culture of the minority villagers who are living peacefully the same way of life as their ancestors. Back at the parking place, you took a further ride to the new Lech village, where we took a longer break to learn how the women in their doorways doing their embroidery, which the Red Dao people are very famous for.
