In the northwest of Vietnam, the Quan Hoa mountains. This is one of the poorest and most isolated regions of Vietnam. Here, the majority of farmers survive on less than a dollar a day. However, this province has an inexhaustible wealth, bamboo... The green gold of Vietnam. Some of this bamboo is transported by raft... A makeshift boat, assembled in a few hours, sets off on the Luong River, to join the "Song Ma", the 3rd river in Vietnam. This region is also the only one in the country where the roads are not all asphalted. During the rainy season, which lasts almost three months, part of the trade is paralyzed. Even 4x4s or trucks quickly give up on taking them... The only vehicle that is capable of traveling on these tracks, the "Tuk Tuk". But in Vietnam, the king of transport is the motorbike. It is almost a religion. In the country, there are more than 40 million motorbikes.
