A Closer Look at the 3-Day Itinerary

Day 1: From Ha Giang to Dong Van (115KM)

We begin in Ha Giang city, where the tour kicks off with a check-in at the Km0 marker—an energetic start to a scenic journey. The first stops include the Bac Sum slope, offering sweeping views of terraced hillsides, and the famous Quan Ba Heaven Gate, a mountain pass that seems to open into the sky itself. We loved the way the tour guides pointed out the Twin Mountains of Quan Ba, which resemble a pair of sleeping dragons or twin brothers—depending on your imagination.

The route then takes us into Lung Tam weaving village, where local artisans craft traditional textiles, giving us a window into Vietnamese craftsmanship. We also visit the Can Ty Slope, home to the famous Lonely Nghien tree and the Nghien wood forest. The day ends in Yen Minh town with a chance to stretch our legs on Tham Ma Slope before visiting Lung Cam Village, famed for Pao’s House, a symbol of the area’s rich history.

Today’s highlight is the Ma Pi Leng Pass, often called the “Queen of Passes,” where the road clings to cliffs above the Nho Que River—views that will stay with you. We appreciated how the tour detailed the Monument to youth volunteers, honoring local efforts during difficult times. For a bit of history, the Death Stone Clift and the Nho Que River offer dramatic scenery and a reminder of Vietnam’s resilient spirit.

The route continues through Tu San Canyon, a narrow chasm carved out over millennia, and Meo Vac town, a lively trading hub with a rugged charm. We loved the opportunity to visit Lung Ho, home to French relics, and Du Gia, where the waterfall beckons for a refreshing break.

What We Loved and What to Consider

We genuinely enjoyed the balance of adventure and comfort this tour offers. The careful planning ensures safety and easy logistics, which is key when riding through challenging mountain terrain.
