2025 Meo Vac District Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in July)

Ha Giang is the northernmost province of the country, bordering Cao Bang province to the east, Yen Bai and Lao Cai provinces to the west, Tuyen Quang province to the south, and China to the north. The winding and steep roads of Ha Giang are inherently challenging for drivers. However, when you look around, the tension gives way to a feeling of relaxation when admiring the beauty of the plateau. When arriving in Ha Giang city, you can rent a motorbike to travel on your own for 150,000 - 300,000 VND per motorbike per day. On the contrary, if you do not have enough time and health, or if your group includes the elderly and children, you should rent a 7 - 16 seater car. For young people, I recommend that you try renting a motorbike to experience the best view of nature! Where to go in Ha Giang? • Ma Pi Leng: Known as one of the "Four Great Passes" of the North. This pass is about 20km long with majestic scenery, so it is very suitable for those who want to admire the scenery of Ha Giang. • Border markers: Ha Giang has many border markers from marker 172 to marker 517. Many border markers are easy to visit, and there are many super beautiful landscapes around. • Quan Ba ​​Heaven Gate: Located at an altitude of 1500m above sea level. From here you can admire the entire super beautiful Northwest mountain and forest landscape. • Dong Van Stone Plateau: This is a stone plateau area stretching across 4 districts of Ha Giang. This place was recognized by UNESCO as a Global Geopark since 2010. Located at an altitude of 1000 - 1600m above sea level, Dong Van Plateau has important significance for the development of the ancient Earth. • Yen Minh pine forest: Possesses extremely poetic beauty with rows of cool green trees reaching to the sky. The pine forest brings a sense of peace, relaxation and fresh air. • Pa Vi Hmong Village: In Pa Vi Hmong Village, many cultural beauties of the ancient people are still preserved, from architecture, housing, to costumes. Coming here, you will get lost in traditional rammed earth houses with extremely impressive yin-yang tiled roofs. Besides, there are images of Mong girls in beautiful brocade costumes. You can ask them to join in fun activities, weaving, picking corn... In particular, Pa Vi Ha Community Cultural Tourism Village also regularly holds cultural and sports activities to make your discovery trip more memorable. • Lo Lo Chai Village: Unlike other places, people in Lo Lo Chai almost still retain all the cultural values ​​of the ethnic group in their daily lives. From house architecture, costumes, traditional occupations, festivals, or other elements of material and spiritual life. The village is only 1km from Lung Cu flagpole. It is recommended that everyone stay in the village for 1 night to experience the ethnic culture.

A valley less known by foreigners is hidden in Meo Vac Valley. The magnificent view can be seen when riding along Ma Pi Leng Pass but road access for the boat ride was a little tricky. Only cost is vnd120k per person for unlimited time spending along the valley, get feed and chill at a little hut or get soak in the cooling fresh water to escape from the heat during summer. #tripblazers #couplestrip #mytripvlog #summervacation #northvietnam #roadtrip

Nho Que River is a famous river located in the North of Vietnam, flowing through Ha Giang and Cao Bang provinces. Standing out with its emerald green water and majestic natural scenery, Nho Que River winds through limestone mountains and deep valleys, creating a beautiful natural picture. In particular, the section of the river flowing through Tu San Canyon, considered the deepest canyon in Southeast Asia, is a destination that attracts many tourists who love to explore. With its fresh climate and majestic landscape, Nho Que River is not only an ideal tourist destination but also a source of inspiration for many works of art, contributing significantly to the cultural and tourism life of the region. #travel

#traveldiaries For an authentic cultural experience, a visit to Meo Vac Market is essential.

#winhkflight Quan’s Camping got the spot on Nho Que River that’s all about those chill, scenic vibes. It’s the place to snap Insta-worthy shots, munch on tasty grub, and even camp out with the stars. Just ask the ticket checker for the right boat, and you’re set for a view that’s all kinds of awesome. Plus, they’ve got clean toilets and showers, so you can freshen up after a day of adventuring. Trust me, it’s the laid-back river retreat you’ve been looking for! 📸🍜⛺✨ #Vietnam #hagiang #nhoque My longing to visit Hong Kong is deeply rooted in a desire to immerse myself in the nostalgic ambiance of the 1970s to 2000s. Growing up, Vietnamese television was a window to the vibrant world of Hong Kong dramas, which painted a picture of life there that became a part of my childhood. It’s this cherished slice of the past, these memories that I yearn to bring to life and experience firsthand.
