Ha Giang is Vietnam's northernmost province, on the border with China. The Dong Van Karst Plateau, a UNESCO Global Geopark, rises in grey limestone peaks cut by deep valleys, and roads wind over passes such as Ma Pi Leng above the Nho Que River.
H'mong, Lo Lo, Dao and other communities live in the villages along the way, and the best way to see it all is the Ha Giang Loop by motorbike, riding yourself or with an easy rider.

현지인의 팁
Foreign visitors pay a local procedure fee for the border area. Bring warm layers in any season: the plateau gets cold at night.
