Ha Giang - the remotest place of the Fatherland - a familiar tourist destination that any backpacker desires to conquer once.
Ha Giang is also a land in the youthful memories of many people, a distant place surrounded by towering mountain ranges, winding roads, or hills and valleys of buckwheat flowers that captivate many travelers.
1. King Meo's Palace
The Vuong family mansion, also known as the house of the Meo King, is a famous tourist destination and contains legendary and mysterious stories. Located in Lung Phin commune, Dong Van district, this place was formerly the mansion of the Vuong Duc Chinh family - a wealthy leader of the H'Mong people.
King Meo's Palace
Located about 125km from the city, passing through steep, winding roads, with high mountains on one side and abysses on the other, the Meo King's House lies in the Sa Phin valley, surrounded by mountains like a solid defensive trench. Although the mansion has existed for hundreds of years, everything seems to be still intact and has extremely impressive historical and cultural values. The architecture of the mansion is a unique combination of France, China and the Mong people. Divided into many horizontal and vertical rooms, it is both a place to live and a place to work for the richest family at that time. Green stone, wood and terracotta are the main materials used to build the building. Covered by rows of old trees, the Meo King's House brings a feeling of both mystery and attraction, stimulating the exploration of visitors.
2. Yen Minh pine hill
In places with cold climates, pine trees are very suitable for growing and developing. Ha Giang is the same. With cool summer weather and cold winters, there are many rows of pine trees in the old forests. The most famous is Yen Minh pine forest. From the city center, in the direction of Can Ty, about 100km away, on that route you will encounter beautiful, dreamy scenery of the wild mountains. And coming to Yen Minh, a vast, green pine forest blends with the clear space of the sky and earth, creating a natural picture that makes everyone moved.
The green grass carpets below my feet, looking up are rows of tall pine trees rustling in the wind. The cool feeling of the land and sky of Ha Giang makes me feel like I am in harmony with the breath of the land and sky, enjoying a refreshing feeling, separate from the hustle and bustle of the lowlands.
3. Dong Van Old Quarter
The most vibrant tourist destination in this remote mountainous area is probably Dong Van Ancient Town, the center of Dong Van. The ancient town is surrounded by mountains and forests, and is more bustling and developed than other areas. The rows of ancient houses combined with current development add a new color to the ancient, simple landscape. The old town, which used to have only 40 households, has now been invested in, with more shops and homestays opened, and many entertainment services such as bars and pubs. Domestic and foreign tourists often come here to visit, enjoy performances of the highland people, experience mountain culinary specialties and connect.
When you come here in the spring, you will be able to participate in performances, fairs, or Mong New Year in the traditional Mong street. Dong Van Old Quarter today is a blend of ancient and modern, between the beauty of national cultural identity and the integration and development of tourism services.
4. Conquer Ma Pi Leng Pass
Ma Pi Leng Pass is famous as one of the most dangerous passes among the four great mountain passes. With a length of up to 20 km, passing through towering mountains, pristine forests and precarious cliffs, the pass takes us to experience the most majestic natural scenery of Vietnam. Ha Giang appears with a wild, majestic and impressive beauty, with rugged cliffs and deep abysses. In the distance are fertile terraced fields, with small houses hidden among the dreamy peach blossom valleys.
Riding on large motorbikes, climbing winding roads, you will find conquering this road is the most wonderful experience in the journey to discover Ha Giang.
5. Nho Que River
Surrounded by high mountains, Nho Que River stands out with its emerald green color, gently winding between the plateaus of Ha Giang. The beauty of Nho Que River is something very dreamy, graceful, like heaven. The road down to the river wharf is a small, worn dirt road, a challenge for skilled drivers. Sitting on a boat drifting, admiring the scenery of high mountains on both sides, passing through Tu San gorge, waiting for the shimmering sunlight pouring down through the towering rocks, quietly admiring the majestic nature, where land, water and sky meet, a truly beautiful Ha Giang, truly surprising everyone.
Ha Giang is truly an extremely attractive destination for those who love to travel, a wild, majestic land, where rocks are said to bloom, where there is only vast, immense nature, echoing with the sound of flutes and birds chirping. If you have the opportunity to come to this beautiful highland, definitely visit the 5 addresses that VietSense has introduced to you, and there are countless other beautiful places here waiting for you to explore.
