Ha Giang – Vietnam’s Northernmost Land with the Soul of Stone Mountains
Ha Giang is Vietnam’s northernmost province, where limestone terrain dominates the landscape, creating one of Southeast Asia’s most striking mountain regions. Located within the Dong Van Karst Plateau Global Geopark (UNESCO), Ha Giang is renowned not only for its rugged topography, deep gorges, and steep mountain passes, but also for its profound cultural heritage preserved through centuries of life by ethnic minority communities.
With its year-round cool climate, distinctly changing seasonal scenery, and slow-paced highland lifestyle, Ha Giang stands apart from other destinations in Vietnam. This is not a place for mass tourism, but for travelers seeking authenticity, depth, and genuine connection.
From this very context, the Ha Giang Loop emerged as the most complete way to explore Ha Giang-engaging not only the eyes, but the emotions.

Destinations That Shape the Soul of the Ha Giang Loop
Each segment of the Ha Giang Loop is defined by destinations of exceptional scenic or cultural value. Phieu Travel curates and organizes these highlights within our Destination system, helping travelers understand each landmark before setting foot there.
Quan Ba – Heaven’s Gate & the Twin Mountains (Fairy Bosom)
Located approximately 43 km north of Ha Giang City, Quan Ba marks the beginning of the Ha Giang Loop and serves as the gateway to the Dong Van Karst Plateau. Along National Highway 4C-known as the Happiness Road-the landscape transitions from gentle hills to towering limestone peaks and misty valleys.
The most notable stop is Quan Ba Heaven’s Gate, sitting at over 1,500 meters above sea level, offering panoramic views of terraced fields, sharp limestone ridges, and expansive valleys stretching toward the horizon.
Below lies the Quan Ba Twin Mountains, also known as the “Twin Fairy Mountains,” associated with a local legend of a fairy nurturing her child. Whether in lush green summer, golden harvest season, or during October–November when buckwheat flowers bloom, this site remains one of Ha Giang’s most photographed icons-majestic yet poetic.

Yen Minh – Pine Forests, Terraced Fields, and Highland Fresh Air
Leaving Quan Ba, the journey continues approximately 41 km to Yen Minh, where the scenery softens into peaceful, open highland landscapes. A defining highlight is the Yen Minh Pine Forest, spanning nearly 100 hectares from Na Khe Commune to Yen Minh Town, featuring straight rows of pine trees, cool air, and early morning mist drifting across the hills-one of Northern Vietnam’s most beautiful pine forests.
Beyond the forest lie terraced rice fields carved into the mountainsides, turning vibrant green in spring and summer and golden in autumn, shaped by generations of HMong and Dao farmers. Yen Minh is an ideal place to slow down-trek through pine forests, breathe the highland air, or visit small villages with traditional wooden houses where life remains simple and unhurried.

Dong Van – Cultural and Historical Heart with Old Quarter, Markets & the HMong King’s Palace
Situated at elevations between 1,000 and 1,600 meters within the Dong Van Karst Plateau, Dong Van Town rests quietly among limestone mountains, wrapped in cool air and morning mist. As part of the UNESCO Global Geopark, the town preserves deep historical imprints through stone houses with tiled roofs, wooden balconies, and architecture reflecting the cultural fusion of the Tay, HMong, Hoa, Nung and Dao peoples.

Lung Cu – Vietnam’s Northernmost Point & Lung Cu Flag Tower
Lung Cu, located at over 1,400 meters near the Chinese border, marks the northernmost point of Vietnam and is symbolized by the Lung Cu Flag Tower atop Dragon Mountain. The tower stands 33 meters tall, with a massive 9×6-meter national flag representing Vietnam’s 54 ethnic groups.
Its history dates back to the 11th century, with multiple restorations-the most recent in 2010-featuring Dong Son bronze drum motifs and stone carvings symbolizing Vietnamese culture.
Nearby villages such as Lo Lo Chai and Seo Lung preserve traditional lifestyles with rammed-earth houses, stone fences, and textile weaving, reflecting the rich cultural depth of Vietnam’s far north.

Ma Pi Leng Pass – Nho Que River
Ma Pi Leng Pass stretches approximately 20 km between Dong Van and Meo Vac at elevations around 1,500 meters. Constructed in the 1960s, it is the most challenging section of National Highway 4C, defined by sharp hairpin turns and sheer cliffs-an exhilarating experience for travelers.
