2025 Ha Giang Province Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in July)

The second time in Ha Giang, the North of Vietnam. I was still excited and suprised. Ha Giang gave me a lot of emotions with majestic scenery.

Great place for adventurous trips in the Northwest highlands, Ma Pi Leng Pass deserves to be one of the top passes in Vietnam because of its winding roads but is worth conquering 😝😝😝

On my trip to Ha Giang this week, I was able to capture this amazing experience with my phone. I didn't even wanted to put a filter on the picture because it might lose its magic. That night after sharing dinner with the family from the guest house, I met a friend of mine and took a walk under the stars, I lay down in the middle of the road and stare at the sky and the thousands of stars that were visible with naked eyes, this reminds me of my trip to Yunnan last year. What a #wonderful #experience The starry sky was just a wonderful, #october is the best time to visit #hagiang in #vietnam #fallingforfall #fall #hanoi #stars #starrynight #fallingforfall

The third day of biking wasn’t as crazily winding as day 2 but it was scary all the same. There were some how even fewer barriers than in the previous couple of days so literally nothing was stopping us from falling off a cliff 🙃🙃🙃 A terrifying journey for sure but man the views!!! 🤩 ⛰ Oh - and this is all with no filters #roadtrip#summervacation#hikingtrails#urbanexplorer

On day 2 of my journey through Ha Giang with strangers, I learned why it’s one of the most dangerous motor passes in Vietnam. The roads were full of endless winding edges with blind spots at every corner and trucks often coming directly towards you on each bend 😵 This was one of the most difficult days of the trip but 100% worth it for the experience! That being said the views were stunning and the people in the village we stayed at were so friendly! Lots of “happy water” flowing through 🤪🤪 #unforgettableexperiences#roadtrip#urbanexplorer

I was in Hanoi minding my own business and having dinner by myself when I met 2 strangers from my city who managed to convince me to go on a 4-day road trip via motorbike along the Ha Giang loop I’d never heard of it before, but I was waiting on some documents to be processed that would take exactly 4 days so I thought it was a sign I was meant to go on this trip if not to kill time until I could pick up my papers. We wound up meeting 2 other people who joined us and formed a squad of 5 motor biking in northern Vietnam 🏍 This was truly the trip of a lifetime - stay tuned for days 2-4 😉 #unforgettableexperiences#naturalwonders#roadtrip#urbanexplorer

#cherryblossom25 Ha Giang Province in Vietnam feels like stepping into a dream during cherry blossom season. The remote mountains become dusted with soft pink petals, creating a beautiful contrast against the rugged limestone peaks and green valleys. As a traveler, the journey here is as rewarding as the destination—winding roads, small ethnic villages, and friendly locals make the trip memorable. I found the best views early in the morning, with the mist gently lifting off the mountains, revealing rows of cherry trees in bloom. It’s less touristy than other places, which makes it feel authentic and untouched. A true hidden gem!

#getgoing2025 #thehagiangloop Let me tell you about the time my boyfriend and I tackled the Ha Giang Loop—a road trip that’s not just scenic but absolutely mind-blowing! Picture this: a motorbike and 350 km of winding roads that seem like they’re straight out of a dream. First off, Ma Pi Leng Pass is chef’s kiss perfection. 🏔️ The views are insane—towering mountains, a jade-green river far below, and cliffs that will make your heart race (and not just because of the motorbike). It’s a spot that screams, “Take a million photos here!” 📸 History nerd alert: the Vuong Palace was a cool detour. 🏯 This was the Hmong king’s crib back in the day, and it’s packed with stories and stunning architecture. Then there’s Lung Cu Flag Tower 🇻🇳—the northern tip of Vietnam. Standing up there, looking out over Vietnam and China, I felt like I was on top of the world. This trip? Pure adventure gold. If you’ve got a bike, a map, and a taste for epic views, go for it. 🚀

#getgoing2025 #thehagiangloop The Ha Giang Loop in northern Vietnam is a breathtaking journey through one of the country’s most spectacular landscapes. Famous for its rugged mountains, winding roads, and vibrant ethnic villages, this loop offers an unforgettable experience for adventurous travelers. A highlight of the route is the Ma Pi Leng Pass, often called the “king” of Vietnam’s mountain passes, offering jaw-dropping views of deep gorges and turquoise rivers far below. It’s a spot that will leave photographers in awe. Exploring the remote villages along the way introduces visitors to the diverse cultures of the Hmong, Tay, and Dao people. Markets buzz with life, selling everything from handwoven textiles to fresh produce. A stop at Dong Van’s Old Quarter feels like stepping back in time, with its ancient architecture and quaint tea houses. For a dose of history, the Vuong Palace offers a glimpse into the life of the Hmong king during French colonial times. Its stone walls and intricate carvings tell stories of a bygone era. The Lung Cu Flag Tower, the northernmost point of Vietnam, is another must-see. Climbing the tower rewards you with panoramic views of both Vietnam and China, a moment of quiet reflection at the edge of the country. The Ha Giang Loop is best explored on two wheels, with each bend revealing landscapes more dramatic than the last. It’s a journey that lingers in your mind long after the final kilometer.

Ha Giang Rice Terraces - A Must See! Looking for a desti

Ha Giang Loop is one of the adventures you MUST take when coming to Vietnam. It is located 300km north of Hanoi. I booked 4days3nights tour with Jasmine, cost me 6 million VND or 252 USD. We started the tour in Hanoi at backpacker's hostel, where we waited for our bus to Ha Giang. After an 8-hour trip, we finally arrived at Jasmine Hostel, where we spent the rest of the night. After breakfast, we received briefing before starting the real adventure. I chose to ride with easyriders as I don't trust 'me' driving myself there. Aside from breath-taking scenery, this tour also offers you the opportunity to experience authentic cuisines, extraordinary motorbike rides, and diverse cultures. I personally love the simplicity and how the locals preserve their natural environment, and one of the most interesting parts of this tour was being drunk on 'happy water'. 🍻 Cheers if you can relate to that. 😂#hagiangloop #hagiang #vietnam #vietnamtrip

Ha Giang is truly a wonder of the world. Known for Dong Van Stone Plateau, Meo Vac ethnic town or Ma Pi Leng Pass. I have been there for the second time but still want to come back to explore Nho Que River.

The road goes through jaw-dropping valleys and stunning mountain passes high in the north of Vietnam. For those who crave the open road, the Ha Giang loop is a dream come true. Prepare for an expedition by packing your belongings, charging your batteries, and getting ready for an adventure. Just a friendly travel tip. You'll be traveling through Vietnam's far north, and there are few resources once you've left Ha Giang. Because ATMs are limited, be careful to pack plenty of cash. #nationalpark#naturalwonders#tripinspired#summervacation#hikingtrails#urbanexplorer
