🔍 What to see and visit in Ha Giang:

There are many interesting and amazing places in Ha Giang province. In the city of Ha Giang is not to much for visit and the most interesting sites are located in Dong Van Karst Global Geopark in the far north. So the best way is to travel on motorbike (only for experienced motorbike drivers, IDP is necessary) to Dong Van town in the north. About 5 km from Dong Van town is Ma Pi Leng Pass – the most fascinating mountain pass in northern Vietnam. If you do not want to drive a motorbike you can rent a private motorbike driver or private tour to Ha Giang province.
