Ha Giang is Vietnam’s northern-most province. The mysterious landscape along the Chinese border – a mythical combination of conical limestone peaks and deep, craterous valleys – is probably the most striking in the country. Once considered the last frontier for adventurous travel in Vietnam, Ha Giang gained an almost legendary status among independent travellers. In recent years, visitor numbers have increased dramatically, and road conditions between Ha Giang, Dong Van, Meo Vac and Bao Lac have improved, making access to this remote part of the country relatively easy. With mountain passes hanging onto cliff-faces high above roaring rivers, and back-roads threading through forests of limestone pinnacles, it’s ideal territory for a motorbike road trip.

This extraordinary province beholds some truly awe-inspiring scenery ranging from colossal limestone mountains, lush rice paddies, majestical flowing rivers, and kindred mountain villages create an ethereal landscape, sure to leave you mesmerized. Ha Giang is sometimes referred to as the ‘Sa Pa of a decade ago’ because Ha Giang is still not that crazy popular with tourists. Even though it’s getting more and more popular every year as travel there is becoming more accessible because of many bus and car tours. But Ha Giang must be experienced on motorbike, not a car! If you are not that confident in driving, there is always the option of easy riders.

 

Remote places here are very poor, but full of the friendliest people and the most outstanding landscapes in Vietnam.

 

Ha Giang is unique because you can take the loop more than one times, and we can guarantee that you’ll have a different experience each time. The road conditions will be different, the weather will be different each time, people will change, etc. And after all, Ha Giang is still a relatively unexplored area. The attractions we pointed out are just the main ones that are already established, but there is so much more waiting for you if you go a bit outside of the main route. And that’s the magic of Ha Giang!
