Kayaking on West Lake
no photo available

Though its been asked a couple times before (once by me) it remains a mystery and as I saw about 20 kayakers out on West Lake today it is time again to ask... where are they coming from and can I join in?

A beer in a back alley of Hong Kong.

I'd guess that they continue to be the group that was mentioned the last time this was asked. Head to the Lac Long Quan rowing club and ask them if you can join in.

Let us all know.

It's on Lac Long Quan Street. If you're starting at the Thuy Khue end of Lac Long Quan, it will be a couple KM. Look for it on the right just after passing the section of road where one is directly next to West Lake.

I'm not certain on the details of this club, but I get the impression that it isn't all that open to general membership from community members. The main folks I saw using it were young Vietnamese training for the national rowing team. Many of them lived on the grounds or very near by. They can be seen rowing in the early morning and jogging around the lake during other parts of the day.

I also think one can do some rowing by way of the Hanoi Club, but that will probably require a membership that you may (or may not) deem a bit much for the privilege of rowing. Then again, maybe full membership isn't required.
