Top 47 things to do and attractions in Ha Giang

Definitely worth to go to the Skywalk - it’s easier (and safer) on foot than by bike. Not too many people attempt it by bike given any wrong move with make you tumble about 1,500 meters down. To get to the infamous rock (or the top) you have to climb. It’s extremely hot there and not easily accessible. Especially when there are many tourists, paths are even narrower and a wrong move will result in certain death.

Excellent sceneries. The view of nho que river from Ma Pi Leng pass (800 M ) is awesome. Boating on NHO QUE river(120000 VND per person, 20000 VND per camera) is really worth.

Incredible view of mountains, amazing landscape and lovely local people. The far north region of Vietnam with beautiful mountain pass. It's gorgeous, the best scenery I've seen in Vietnam.

Ma Pi Leng Pass is definitely the most beautiful part of Ha Giang Loop, as the views are simply astonishing. Drive through the mountains and see the crystal blue lake way down below you. It is a sight that one will hardly ever forget!

Ma Pi Leng Pass is the ultimate thrill ride in Vietnam's northern highlands—those hairpin turns hugging sheer cliffs with canyons plummeting thousands of feet below? It's like nature's own rollercoaster, dishing out jaw-dropping panoramas of layered mountains and the winding river far beneath. The wind in your face, the vast openness—it's raw, exhilarating, and a tad intimidating, but in the best way possible. I snagged my driver tour via Joytime, and it was a total win—the guy was a pro navigator with hilarious stories about local legends, making me feel super fortunate to conquer this beast without a hitch. If Ha Giang's on your itinerary, this pass is non-negotiable for that unforgettable rush!

The most beautyfull i knew in my life

always love the outdoors and adventures! if you want to experience true Vietnam adventure — experience the Ha Giang loop!

Lung Cu Flag Point is slightly off the main route, but it is absolutely worth the detour. The journey itself offers stunning scenic views, making the drive enjoyable and memorable. Once you arrive, you have two options to reach the flag tower, either climb the steps or take a buggy ride for just 30,000 VND. I choose to climb the steps and enjoy the scenic. The panoramic views of northern Vietnam are truly beautiful. It's definitely a must-visit spot.

One of the most majestic places I have ever been. The road to get there is like a snake. Besides, there are toilets and shops for tourists. 🤩🤩 I am proud to be Vietnamese and I like to climb to the top of Lung Cu Flag Tower because I can see the whole ground below and communicate with foreigners who come there 😁😁

Big red flag!!! ;) Climb up the stairs wasn’t too difficult, great view from the top. Can just about see China too! You can climb right to top where the flag pole is.

The place it’s an amazing view point surrounded by mountains, amazing temples and lovely people. Just be aware that’s sometime they are closed.

We caught the buggy up and then walked up quite a few stairs, amazing views from the top.

The stairs are hard work but the view is rewarding...A special place for me.

✅ 360-degree views of the Đồng Văn Karst Plateau Geopark, terraced rice fields, ethnic villages, and even Chinese mountains 🥲 839 stone steps

Stunning view! It is really the gate of heaven. On the way from here to Quan Ba, Dong Van, meo Vac, we can see how amazing the nature beauty is

Absolutely incredible experience of mountain and green. We stayed in a homestay. Food was incredible with vegetarian options & local wine available. The valley has a view of corn field, rice fields, water reservoirs. The homestay rooms were very well done, neat and clean with hot water provision. One can have a nice hot shower. There was also cultural program in the evening. A must visit.

Visited on last day of our 3 day ha giang loop, amazing views across 2 valleys. Also, obviously, coffee stops of either side of the road for your coconuts coffee needs ☕💪 Worth noting how incredibly busy it was on the other side of the viewpoint heading back to ha giang. The road is being repaired, there is gravel everywhere, buses, trucks, cars and 100s of motorbikes all meeting in narrow sections. See video for the carnage, all adds to the experience 😂 Apparently there was a large gate here erected by the French colonial rulers to keep the northern Vietnamese in their place. Lucky them having this amazing landscape and no invaders bothering them!

12 Mar 2024 We took videos and photos from the roadside in the coffee shop. The view was amazing. I am a travel agent and traveller You can contact me on my Instagram ID Personal ID: mystry_scrt Business ID: mercijourney

beautiful view and great coffee! i got an iced coffee, perfect for a recharge after being on the bike for awhile.

Very beautiful it is breathtaking and such a n beautiful experience to be at this viewpoint grab a coffee and take in the nature

Nice views. But there was nothing on the top of the stairs.

Dong Van Ancient Street truly comes alive during holidays and festivals. The entire area is bustling with energy, offering plenty of food stalls serving delicious local specialties. For the best experience, visit at night when the atmosphere is at its most vibrant. You can join traditional games like throwing cotton ball game (10k vnd/ 3 times), dance with local people, enjoy a bonfire, and indulge in street food.

Nice ancient city with the Hmong tribe. Ambience is great, air is cool and fresh. Food & drinks everywhere at reasonable prices.

Very cute area great night life lots of diversity due to it being a focal point for Ha Giang loop. Great restaurants and drink spots local goods! Beautiful both day and night.

A unique night market, imbued with the culture of the northern mountainous region. There are many activities on weekends and at festivals. In the morning, can walk around this area to have a look at the ancient houses.

Dong Van Old Quarter at night has a magical, sparkling beauty and many unique cultural activities for tourists. Here are some typical activities you can refer to: • Every evening, in the center of the old quarter, there are often cultural performances imbued with the ethnic cultural identity of the Mong, Lo Lo, Pu Peo... such as folk dancing, playing the flute, carrying lanterns... • Visitors can interact and join in the dances with ethnic boys and girls. • Restaurants in the old quarter become bustling at night, visitors can enjoy specialties of the highlands such as thang co, men men, black chicken hotpot... • Dong Van Old Quarter at night is lit up by brilliant lanterns, creating a romantic and magical space. • Visitors can walk around, admire the ancient houses, learn about the architecture and history of the quarter. • On weekends, coffee shops in the old town often organize cultural performances, visitors can sip coffee, enjoy music and admire the scenery. • Coffee shops with the ancient character of the mountainous region are an extremely suitable stop for visitors. • In the old town, there are many souvenir shops, visitors can buy unique gifts with strong local cultural identity.

A nice area to walk around, shops, bars, cafe, market square. Go at night too, very pretty all lit up.

Pretty town on the ha giang loop with. we came here by bus to walk the sky trail. Worth a visit even if you are not going by moterbike for the loop. Bus from ha giang to Dong Van is about 150.000 (5 euro/usd) takes about 6 hours depending your "Mario kart" driver. Easy to book at your acc. in ha giang. Bus back is near old market square at the main street. (We took the one at 10 am

Tbh I’m not sure if we ever found the spot but it ended up being a 2 hour off road detour for us. Rocks were super cool but maybe not worth as an official stop

Breathtaking views!

(Translated by Google) Dong Van Stone Plateau is a stone plateau spreading across four districts of Quan Ba, Yen Minh, Dong Van, and Meo Vac of Ha Giang province. This place belongs to Dong Van. Currently, there is a canopy for tourists to sit and rest and take photos, and there are 2 girls selling street food such as grilled eggs/meat/corn... Build a parking lot for people to stop and take photos to check in. (Original) Cao nguyên đá Đồng Văn là một cao nguyên đá trải rộng trên bốn huyện Quản Bạ, Yên Minh, Đồng Văn, Mèo Vạc của tỉnh Hà Giang. Chỗ này thuộc Đồng Văn. Hiện có xây mái che cho du khách ngồi nghỉ ngơi chụp ảnh và có 2 cô bé bán hàng rong như trứng/thịt/ngô(bắp) nướng ... Xây hẳn bãi đỗ xe cho mọi người dừng lại chụp ảnh check in.

(Translated by Google) It's so wonderful...true to the name of the center of the stone plateau. There are rocks everywhere (Original) Thật tuyệt vời quá …đúng với cái tên trung tâm của cao nguyên đá. Khắp nơi đều là đá

(Translated by Google) It is very nice, but there was garbage. I don't know if it's because they don't pick it up or if people throw everything on the ground. (Original) Esta muy bonito, pero había basura. No se si es que no la recogen o que la gente tira todo al suelo.

Go on a Sunday, eat a pho and just watch the locals buy and sell clothes, pigs, cows, vegetables, herbs, fruits and everything else you can think off... most women are dressed in their finest traditional clothes. Some men too. Also: they get drunk on rice-wine. You will see the last ones stagger off in a walk of shame around 2pm. Such a great place to soak up the atmosphere. I can't believe we were the only tourists on the market!!!

Recommended place when you travel to Dong Van. Should try to stay and enjoy the different feelings in both day time and night time. The drinks are not so good but these are not what you need when you come here. You can buy some souvenir in the shops around the coffee shop

Recommend place for tourists. Local food is good. There are many home stay here.

This place reminds of the palace Dinh Vua found before on the road. It has a splendid italian coffee machine producing of the best tastes in town. Nice interior design! @Santiago

Decent place to catch your breath over a drink with a great view over the town square. Music was a bit off putting and didn’t match with the vibe - vinahouse only but I acknowledge that’s just personal preference.

Nice place to sit and watch the busy locals doing their daily routines. Nice food and coffee options. I really like this town, the people were very friendly.

Ancient view here. Not crowded when i was there and people go to sleep too early.

I had seen the pass/canyon from above so it was interesting to take a trip up the river We were the only foreigners I saw, it's very popular with Vietnamese people who all take photos at a certain spot You can hire traditional clothing also for your photos Be advised that the road in and out to the boat landing is under construction and extremely rough and slow to negotiate

Nho Que River with clear green water. The river is deep and winding at the foot of high mountains. The beautiful road always challenges drivers and the unique beauty of the river is the attraction of Nho Que to tourists. (See more Nho Que between Meo Vac and Dong Van districts, is a great place to visit in the Ha Giang loop by motorbike tour. There is a road under construction and it seems that more homestays and hotels are being built. If so, you can stay overnight and enjoy the beauty of Nho Que when the new day begins. (boat tour price: 120,000 VND/pax) #handinhandadventure

Nho Que River is one of Vietnam's stunning rivers, celebrated for its pristine natural beauty and harmonious integration with the surrounding landscape. Flowing through tranquil countryside, rural areas, and lush mountains, this river creates a memorable natural journey.

Nho Que River in Ha Giang is a breathtaking natural wonder, winding through majestic mountains and deep canyons. The turquoise water, reflecting the lush greenery, creates a stunning landscape. A boat ride offers an unforgettable experience, immersing visitors in the peaceful beauty of Vietnam’s northern highlands.

If you want to spend more time having fun in Nho Que river area, you should go to Dong Van town to be closer instead of trying to move to Meo Vac town. Evening travel through the roads of Ha Giang is quite dangerous, so accommodation in Dong Van area will be a reasonable choice for your trip.

The water's so clear and inviting, with misty mornings adding that ethereal touch; it's the kind of place that resets your soul after a hectic travel day. If you're up for it, definitely hop on a kayak or boat ride to glide through hidden bends and spot wildlife along the shores—trust me, the gentle paddling and serene silence will be highlights of your Vietnam trip. I booked my boat tour through the Joytime app, and it was seamless from start to finish; the local guide was knowledgeable, pointing out secret spots, and I felt incredibly lucky to have sunny weather that made the colors pop even more.

My recent visit to Sông Nho Quế, a tranquil river in Vietnam, was a serene escape. The clear waters, lush surroundings, and peaceful atmosphere make it a perfect retreat. Activities like kayaking and swimming in the pristine river add to the experience. The nearby villages offer a taste of local culture and cuisine, while temples and pagodas along the riverbanks provide a glimpse into the area's rich heritage. Sông Nho Quế is a hidden gem for those seeking a peaceful and immersive natural and cultural experience.

Beautiful forest great during sunshine or rain. There’s a little cafe there that does bottled drinks with a lovely owner and her pets. Highly recommend if you’re passing by

It's an ok pine forest, you won't be able to see any stunning views or anything as the tall pines block everything, but an interesting contrast and worth a quick stop if you have plenty of free time on your loop

Love this place! Perfect for a break, there is little shop with amazing tea (not instant!). Owner is also really nice.

Great experience in the pine forest exiting to see it in the top mountains in vietnam

If you need a small break from driving, it is nice to visit this eco park in the pine forest. We were not really sure what we were all seeing there as it did not really make sense to us, but it was beautiful nevertheless. You can drive your bike up to the forest on a steep hill and park it there.

Nice place to relax during the bike tour. Lot of pine tree

It's a wonderful place. I love pine forest. It's a good place to relax. There's a bin, but, unfortunately, it doesn't stop some people from littering in such a great place and we saw rubbish here and there.

A charming local Sunday market that brings together all the surrounding villages, with unique and beautiful authentic clothes. must-visit.

This is one of the best markets I've ever visited. I visited on a Sunday so people from nearby villages were swarming the place buying and selling stuff. For me the most interesting part of this market was the butcher area and the livestock area just outside the market. I've never seen so many pigs sold and it was really interesting. The livestock area had sheeps, cows, pigs. There were puppies too but was unsure if they were on sale... And be warned. People here is very pushy and they are strong people. They will push you away if you are in their way or if you're not maintaining the flow of people. I assume the people here do manual labour so even the older people push quite hard.

The entire Ha Giang Loop is INCREDIBLE!!!... If you don't wanna ride a motorbike then do the jeep tour!... Ask for Marco!!!... 🥳❤️🥳❤️🥳

Brilliant experience. Plenty to witness and experience. However visited dong van market prior to this and felt was far more interesting than this market at meo vac. Please add it in if you can make it on a Sunday.

Very excited, colourfull peoples...good taste wine. Drunk to die :d Meo Vac market which is opened on every Sunday. The market is set in the valley which is surrounded by thousands of mountains and is also a place where you can find cultural quintessence of all mountainous ethnic minorities in Ha Giang. From very early morning, when the sun has not yet risen and  fog covers mountains, visitors and local people all feel enthusiastic to lead to the market. Many Dao, Lô Lô, Giáy, Mông…men walk along with beautiful women in colorful eye-catching costumes. To go to the market, many people have to cross 10km of Ma Pi Leng pass which is consider as one of the most dangerous passes in Vietnam. There are a lot of different kinds of goods sold in the market. Most of them are farming products, homemade items and craft items. People come here to buy warm coats for winter, plastic sandals, rock climbing shoes, or even a mobile phone… It seems that local people come here to bring a little modern urban lifestyle back to their villages or hamlets. No matter what they trade, sellers and buyers and even visitors just coming here to visit all are very happy and you can see the smiles everywhere. The market also has an area where people come to sell and buy corn wine made by H’mong people with manual methods. Men and even women can come here to taste the wine. It is a really happy time after a week of hard work that helps many local people to forget difficulty and poverty which still remains somewhere in this poor rocky highlands. Say goodbye to Meo Vac, we continue our Vietnam Motorcycle Tour to discover the next destination of the itinerary. We hope that tourism development will not make the land loose the traditional beauty, the cultural identity of people, and the characteristics of mountainous fair.

A real taste of mountain life. .pigs on string, a large indoor market area and outdoor stalls, livestock and a big locals eating area inside.

Great market, a lot of food and fresh choices!

Very bad!! Do NOT come here! One of the very few viewpoints that charges you admission! Boooo!!! And they charge you double at that! 30k for admission and another minimum 30k for a mandatory order. That's so bad. Just go to the viewpoint 100m further down the road. It is just as good and completely free.

Such a beautiful place definitely get the boat to sail down this place of beauty

Nho Que is the must destination and worth seeing all season ❤️❤️

30k vnd entrance fee, very good spot to rest and take photos.

perfect

Great viewpoint in ha giang loop!

This view point in fact is a small place with a small rock. The place is on top of a high rock wall, down about 50m from the road. It's dangerous place to reach to. You should better use a rope to go down. The place looks right into the Tu San Canyon that makes it best place for photographing the canyon.

An absolute must in regards to checking out local Markets. Very traditional where you find anything from fresh Foods, Herbs, Spices, Cloth etc etc. Even have some great local eateries, not the most stylish ones, but very good food. Visit there every day whenever I come here

On Sunday morning the ethnic people will gather at the market for trading. The atmosphere was incredible. You get to see all kind of stuff. On regular weekday, the market looks just like any other markets in Vietnam.

i visited here at the weekend, They organize a bonfire and joyful dancing on the weekends. It’s truly wonderful!

What an experience to visit a local market as a tourist. Highly recommend to go here! Only on Sunday mornings!!!

It's a local market, for the locals. Don't expect to find treasures, but if you want to see life in the north, worth a stop.

trandtional local market with a lot of amazing stuffs

Unique place to stay modeled after you know Hmong homes. There's no air conditioning but that's okay it's really not necessary at that altitude. It's very rustic as it's designed to be. Family dining with wonderful people and you need and tasty food. They couldn't be more accommodating. It's located a little bit out of town so plan accordingly.

A lovely village, green fields, beautiful flower gardens, cute kids. Don't forget to check in at “Pao’s House”, the setting in the famous Vietnamese movie “Pao’s House”

Good

The food a bit pricey

Amazing and imposing! Definitely come back as a regular traveller

Cool scenery, though incredibly busy already by 10-11am full of easy rider groups taking up all the space, if lots of groups there would suggest to skip or just a quick stop when doing the loop yourself.

Beautiful area with stunning views! It's definitely a must as part of the northern loop if on a motorbike, but plan a short day as you will want to stop for photos round every corner.

daily doses of reminding how tiny and insignificant we r

A beautiful place at the northernmost part of Vietnam in Hagiang. You should ride your motobike along the plateau it is much better than going by car. You can feel the breeze and the cool air plus you can stop anytime to take photo or to appreciate the beauty of the land.

Truly stunning views and awesome roads for bikers Only word to describe Amazing. The Plateau landscape with its natural stone garden and ethnical people.

This is another viewpoint on route QL4C, as you make your way across the karst plateau to Dong Van Township. A few hundred meters further ahead of this point, you can decide to take the short or long route to Dong Van. A left turn at the fork will put you on the longer route. If you're tight on time or it's getting dark your probably better taking the shorter route on QL4C. Note: taking route DT182B to Dong Van is 5 km longer than QL4C. Safe travels, Mega.

View spot with very busy coffee shop when visiting, many visitors, locals and tourist's groups. The view is amazing like all view points in the area of Ha Giang.

The drinks are delicious and the view is absolutely stunning! Watching the road — especially how vehicles slowly wind their way up the steep curves — is almost meditative. There’s also a great photo spot with the Vietnamese flag and the winding road in the background — perfect for capturing the moment. That said, this spot is definitely not a hidden gem anymore. It’s quite popular and can get pretty busy. The Service is not special, but the staff could understand english. One downside: the prices are definitly on the higher side (95.000 VND for a coconut coffee and a lemon juice), and using the toilet costs an extra 5,000 VND, which felt a bit much considering we were already paying good money for drinks.

Lovely viewpoint, such a cool road. Good place to grab a coffee. Lots of locals selling souvenirs. Girls are also decorating girls or guys hair with flowers for a fee. Yeah the locals are trying to make a living, but give them some credit. Can’t remember if there’s a toilet. But the viewpoint is free and definitely worth a visit. The scenery is awesome and a very cool view of the road.

Dốc Thẩm Mã offers a stunning view with a winding mountain road that looks like a snake from above. It's a perfect spot for a quick check-in and capturing scenic shots. Definitely worth a short stop if you're traveling along the Hà Giang Loop.

Right above a series of hairpin turns makes this the perfect place to capture a video. The surrounding mountains are beautiful too

Tham Ma Pass might be a spot for tourists to take pictures, but it's also a heaven for motorbikers or limo. A lot of locals sitting around in their traditional wear giving flowers or playing music. Sadly, they are mostly grandmothers and kids staying there working hard all day so make sure to tip them. Nice viewpoint with a breathtaking panorama.

Amazing view on the Ha Giang Loop - a nice bar and bits to buy and you might hear some traditional music!

Deserve to climb up the peak. We traveled 12kms by motorbike ( 125cc) from Chan Mui homestay at Hothau village. The motorbike road just have made since 2016 but now some parts ( about 6kms) can not through easily cause the land slide, big rock... Should not go by motorbike if you have no confidence in your driving skill. When you reach to parking place, climb up to the peak just simple by walking on man made path.

It’s just a beautiful experience. Even before you get on the tip top, you’ll get to enjoy the view on the way. Tips: try to go before sun rise. From the point you can’t use any mobile vehicle anymore, it takes about an hour to get to the top. You’ll get to enjoy every second of the beautiful sun rise.

Beautiful mountain. Still untouched by human activities. About 1 km trekking in forest from the main road.

Veey very hard way for motorbike. But on the top if is good weather is very nice view.

Nice place to see and take photo for ocean clound in Ha Giang, Viet Nam

Beautiful peak, perfect zone to watch sun rise, just it was a bit upsetting to find lots of trash, so be mindful when you be there. Also I wish that they didn’t make concrete road.

You can hunt the sun above the ocean clouds

Don’t make the same mistake as we did by taking the steep off-road short cut. Just stay on the road. Lovely place to take a break, relax and shoot some insta-worthy photos.

Quiet and amazing. Not so many people goes there obviously. Path is steep but not dangerous until the very last 50-100 metres. Then a machete could be useful: at least wear pants and long sleeves as there is some razor leef and break down some branches if you want to be able to find your way back.

Way too far and long to hike to so we couldn’t get to the last waterfall like the guy in the newest review. There were so many lil streams otw. At least we got a private spot to swim unlike the first noisy one 😅 and there was a tent (with CCTV) for picnic as well. And free fish massage lol (see vids) Quite a long trek but still recommend for crowd avoiders like ourselves.

Such a cool waterfall where you can swim. I really enjoyed this place. It’s also cool you can rent towels there as we didn’t have one and wouldn’t be able to swim otherwise. Would highly recommend visiting. The road to the waterfall is a bit rough, but it’s worth it.

It seems that all the easy riders take their guest here in the morning. If you get here after 11am it’s a lot quieter. It was too busy to stay at the bottom and we managed to follow a path for 1km where there was another waterfall and pool which was perfect

1km hike following a path and stream to reach a secluded, peaceful pool and waterfall. Escape the crowds of easy riders and come here!

Beautiful waterfall with clear water and nice temperature in October👍🏼

Beautiful view. Saw the kids and you just telling yourself how lucky you are you were born in the city. You may appreciate what you have after seeing what little they have. Eye opening experience.

Great view, full of tourists when visited, bike and organized groups. The hot coffee is ok but no more, locals dressed in traditional clothing and flowers for sale, some stalls with souvenirs, food and clothing.

Spectacular views. Stopped off on the 4 day Ha Giang Loop trip

It’s a lovely viewpoint, a cool must see. A good stop off and free parking. Great landscape, cool roads. Is also a cool view of the road. A definite must see on the Ha Giang loop. No charge.

Best road trip by far.Must do in Vietnam 🇻🇳

A highlight of the Ha Giang loop with famous nine-turn mountain pass, also called Tham Ma Slope.

Great views, loads of people around in traditional clothing, a few Street vendors.

Great place to stop when you're passing over the mountain, especially if you're on a motorbike. There is a little rest stop cafe on the road which is at the top of the trail down to the waterfall, which is easy to spot. Can shelter there from the rain or sun and have a drink/ use the bathroom. There is also a bin at the start of the trail, please use it! It's a shame that some people have left little bits of rubbish along the path.

Firstly, if the drive from Bac Ha to Xin Man wasn’t beautiful enough, what about the drive from Xin Man to this place. ABSOLUTELY BREATHTAKING😍. The waterfall is an ideal respite from the road and is very nice in its own right. ⚠️WARNING ⚠️ The stairs are SUPER slippery with little grip. I went flying on the way down, lucky it wasn’t serious! If you’ve treated yourself with the drive here and beyond then treat yourself with a lovely break to a beautiful waterfall which you’ll most likely have ALL TO YOURSELF. A great find 😍. 20k ticket (parking seemed to be inc)

I't ok

Nice waterfall

Very cool place to walk down and take a look, get a few snaps.

Amazing spot for a cup of coffee 🤩

ok

The bungalows are located in a beautiful spot a little outside the town. This makes it really a beautiful and quite place to stay. Good food, good service. They are very friendly and want to help you with everything. They’ve arranged motorbikes for us, kept our luggage while we did the ha giang loop and arranged a bus to Ninh Binh when we came back. Pro tip: make sure you arrange a taxi from the center or make sure they pick you up from the drop off point from the bus. It’s quite a walk and the bus company won’t bring you to the end of the road.

I’m taking the time to add a review for this amazing hotel. The place is really lovely with a nice and friendly staff team. Always helping you for taxi or trip organisation. This is definitely the hotel to go in Ha Giang. I recommend without any doubt ! Thanks again !

The host - Mr Long is extremely warm and welcoming, always making us feel at home. The room was spotless, comfortable, and fully equipped, with breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains. Specially thanks to ms Lan. What truly stood out was the food – the local specialties were not only fresh and flavorful but also prepared with great care. Staying here would not be complete without trying the meals at the retreat; they capture the authentic taste of Ha Giang and made our experience even more memorable. The peaceful atmosphere, friendly service, and delicious cuisine make this a place we would love to return to again and again whenever visiting Ha Giang.

😊 Beautiful cottage, comfortable, nice swimming pool and good dinner. 🙁 We came to chill and relax after the ha giang loop tour. Thinking it would be the place to relax as it's said to be a "retreat", but then second day a 25ppl group came in to party before their tour.

We had an amazing time at the Ha Giang Xanh retreat. We were only supposed to stay for 2 nights but ended up staying for an additional 2 nights because I got sick. We have nothing but good things to say about the resort. They arranged everything, from tours to transportation, were very flexible when we had to reschedule things when I was sick, were very kind and provided us with incredible meals. The resort is also very beautiful and a great place to relax. We did a private tour of the Ha Giang loop with the retreat and had a great time with two very skilled easy drivers. We definitely recommend this resort. Thank you Thuan and the rest!!

We had a lovely short stay at the Xanh Retreat. What really stood out was the service from the guy at the reception! He was super super helpful especially with organising the motorbike rental and the transport. We can highly recommend it!

We truly enjoyed our stay at this place—the silence, peaceful atmosphere, and the cozy, beautiful surroundings allowed us to fully relax after a long journey through Vietnam. ❤️

No entrance fees to visit Pho Bang Old Town. We drove on our motorcycle on a rainy day, it's been raining for 3 days in the area and it was a bit muddy going up here. There's not a lot of tourists, but we saw a lot of homestays in the area. It gave a ghost town vibe. Construction of roads within the old town are also underway. The houses' walls here are still made of mud and clay, pretty interesting to see. There's a lot of Chinese influence in the structure and decor since China is just a few kilometers away. I don't recommend going out of your way to come here. Nothing much to see.

Looks beautiful. But no services (maybe one restaurant)

Mood 😎

small and beautiful old street

Ok

Nice waterfall! Easy to walk to, takes about 15 minutes each way. If you cross a small stream while walking, you missed a turn ;)

Almost no water and very muddy. Difficult to get there with the scooter, be sure you are a good driver if you want to try! You can ask local people for the way, they will point you there if you show the picture.

Too muddy, slippery and small to swim in. The mud is so viscous and deep you can’t even reach the fall. Scooter ride down was also quite dangerous. Was nice to look at but not really worth a detour.

Tough hike to get there but totally worth it!

Hiden waterfall short walk from the street no must see but nice to see ☺️

Wrong season perhaps. More mud than waterfall.

Very nice

This is a good 45 mintue trail that everyone should take. On the day of our visit, only us and one more couple came here. The walk was quite tiring but it is a good exercise, a lot of good views. And entering the cave, we realised the effort was worth while. There is a cofee shop at the top in front of the cave entrance, a good rest point to recover aftee the trail.

From my point of view this was a great experience for three reasons - one: there was only one other person there, two: there was a good hike to get there so lots of exercise and three: the cave and surroundings were beautiful. The access to the cave was down a long cemented track - like a farm track really but in very good condition. The narrowness meant buses can't get down, which is good, in my opinion. You enter the village and straight away locals whizz up on their bikes to offer you a lift. You could do that, but ypu still have to walk up the final hill. It's only about a km and a half - lots of steps - but I'm 61, and I managed it fine. The cave is well maintained, and the boardwalks are good. They are meant to give you a helmet before you go in, but the gate man forgot - no worries. I can't say how much it costs because our guide paid. The stalactites and stalagmites are beautiful - it's well worth a visit.

This is an interesting cave site, a few km off QL4C Road. However, for anyone who’s interested in coming here be warned, there’s a fairly tough hike to get up to the cave entrance. If you’re traveling from Ha Giang, the access road is on the left (off QL4C) and just past a Petrolimex gasoline station. The access road is one of those cement laneways and it takes you through some very scenic terrain, to the parking area for your motorbikes. Note: the distance from QL4C road to the parking area is around 4 km. From the parking area there’s a 1.2 km hike through a majestic landscape, to the cave entrance. The final section of the hike is up a long flight of steps which will certainly have you perspiring and breathing hard, by the time you get to the ticket office. Note: if you come here on a warm afternoon, take plenty of drinking water. The entry fee for the cave is 30,000 VND. The cave has been properly set-up for tourism. There’s a solid cement pathway, with handrails, which does a circuit through the cave. From the entrance you travel down the right-hand side of the cave, and return along the left. The distance to the back end of the cave is approximately 300 meters. The cave has internal illumination but on the day I was there, the power was off. For back-up you can grab a head lamp at the ticket office, if you don’t have your own lights. The cave has a large internal volume (larger than Tham Luong Cave) and a lot of impressive sized formations (stalactites and stalagmites) for viewing. It’s also nice and cool inside, and a welcome relief after the sweaty hike up to the entrance. Safe travels, Mega.

30k entrance fee (includes headlamp) No touristy at all, bit of a hike to get up. Inside is a massive space, and also smaller spaces to crawl through! Def worth visiting when in the area.

Tiring walk up but beautiful cave !

Highly recommend!

It's a bit off the beaten track and takes a long time to get from the parking area to the actual cave, but the cave is cool and a welcome diversion from the constant driving of being on the Ha Giang Loop. And the little road into the valley to get to the parking area is a lot of fun to drive.

The homestay is lovely, the village is incredibly beautiful located close to ha giang city around little mountains. Beds are very comfortable, bathrooms are spacious and clean. The owner is a legend, I met him 5 years ago and did the loop with him. Really authentic and unforgettable experience!!

Under advice, we chose to stop here and do the loop tour!! The most correct and wonderful decision!! the homestay has a view of the impressive rice fields!! hospitable and friendly they make you feel very much at home!! The food O my god!! The loop was then dedicated to typical places and avoiding mass tourism!! So the memory I have left is amazing!! thank you for everything ❤️

Dong Van Karst Plateau Geopark: This, according to an information area near the road, is the start point of the DONG VAN KARST PLATEAU. The main feature of the ride from here to Dong Van is the rugged karst (sedimentary limestone) terrain which route QL4C runs through, on the way to Don Van Township. The ride is quite spectacular with lots of small peaks (hills) covered with jagged limestone rocks. There’s a parking area just of route QL4C which has some information billboards and drink sellers. The side road which heads around the side of the hill goes through some spectacular terrain with excellent views of the landscape, across to the west. Take a short ride (2 km) up this side road to get some great photos. Safe travels, Mega.

Dong Van Karst Plateau Geopark is a place you will definitely want to see and travel if you are in northern Vietnam.

not much to say apart from some of the best roads in the world with some of the best views was a great ride on the bike

Beautiful stop for the Ha Giang loop!

Loved travelling by those twists and turns. As soon as you go up the slope there are few sellers selling fruits and other things to eat. Also, there are children carrying flower baskets for tourists to take pics along with them for a fee. We didn't take any pictures with them, so don't know about the price.

An unforgettable experience in Ha Giang! The Tea House of Baiyue Tribes offers not only delicious local teas but also a deep dive into the traditions of the Baiyue people. The peaceful setting amidst stunning mountains makes it the perfect spot to relax. The staff are incredibly welcoming, making the visit even more special. Highly recommend for anyone exploring the area!

I had the extraordinary opportunity to study at the Tea House of Baiyue Tribes, and it has truly left an indelible mark on me. Stepping into this cultural enclave, I was immediately enveloped in the wisdom and traditions of ancient ages, conveyed through the elegant art of tea culture. The ambiance of the tea house, with its traditional architecture and serene gardens, provided a perfect setting for self-reflection and learning. The experience not only enriched my understanding of tea traditions but also imparted invaluable lessons on building personality, reputation, and connecting with individuals from diverse nationalities. Meeting people from different parts of the world within the welcoming embrace of the tea house opened my eyes to the beauty of cultural exchange. This journey has become an unforgettable chapter in my life, and I am grateful for the Tea House of Baiyue Tribes for being a custodian of such profound heritage. I wholeheartedly recommend this enchanting sanctuary to anyone seeking to immerse themselves in the tapestry of ancient wisdom and connect with a global community through the shared love of tea.

I had stayed here for a short time, but the experience here was amazing. You can learn how the tea is processed, and it was super interesting for someone like me, who is not specifically into tea. We got to see the tribes who picked tea, processed the tea together, and enjoyed many cups of tea with the people who stayed in this house. It was great meeting all the people here, and it was a difinately highlight of my Vietnam trip!

Had a great time experiencing different teas native to the area, Trishan and his students run a wonderful teahouse and he is more than happy to provide suggestions on where to visit the surrounding area, including the Ha Giang loop. Lucky for me, he was also a guide and I was able to see some unique parts of the loop not easily available to the public.

Our experience at the Tea House of Baiyue Tribes was nothing short of extraordinary. Over the course of a month, my girlfriend and I had the privilege of working with local children, teaching them English, and in return, we learned so much about the rich culture and unique tea traditions of the region. Trinh Son's hospitality was exceptional, his deep knowledge and passion for the local culture made our stay truly unforgettable. We are incredibly grateful to him, as well as to Thuy, Sinh, and Saw, who all played a significant role in making our time there so special. This was an experience we will carry with us for the rest of our lives.

A truly wonderful place. I was fortunate to spend 5 weeks here and learned so much about traditional vietnamese tea, as well as the culture of the tea-growing ethnic minorities. I’d recommend visiting, even just for a few hours if you are passing by on your way to ha giang. You will be met with great hospitality and have a truly unique experience. And of course you will drink some of the best tea you have tasted!

Our unique experience in the rustic mountains of Ha Giang was hosted by Tri Shan who runs the Tea House of Bai Yue Tribes. We were delighted with the quality of tea he offered us. Tri Shan brought us to isolated homes in far-flung villages where we received warm hospitality from families. He had helped many of them to progress educationally and economically. We recommend that visitors to Vietnam travel up long & winding roads for a stay at the Tea House of Bai Yue Tribes in Ha Giang.

This museum was a real surprise. It was without a doubt the newest and best laid out museum I’ve visited in the country with exhibits that were interesting, well documented and organized. For the 30k entrance fee it’s well worth it.

Wonderful museum! The most modern, well laid out museum I have ever seen. Strong dedicated to the local region, as it should be. Really enjoyed it. The tickets are only 30000. Just plan because they close for lunch, and the ticket counter wouldn't let us in 30min before closure. Try to do the museum before the loop tour to add so much depth and detail into your loop experience. Local crafts and customs are well showcased.

We visited here as we couldn’t find much else to do in Ha Giang before starting our tour tomorrow. The museum was nicely laid out and you could easily spend 1-2 hours here reading all the information. Worth it for the 30k entrance fee. However the opening times are strange online and not sure if they’re accurate.

Nothing special. The ground floor is dedicated to Uncle Ho and the struggle against the French and Americans. The 2nd floor has exhibits about the minorities of the region. This would be interesting enough but all documents and exhibits are in Vietnamese only.

This museum is underrated. It had some great sections for history, biology, geography and ethnology of the region. Great way to spend an afternoon, especially in a city that has little other attractions.

Great place to come when visiting Ha Giang

Excellent showcase of the natural beauty and history of Ha Giang Province in a very smart way.
