Recommended Tours for You:
Day-by-day itinerary (classic clockwise loop)
Day 1: Ha Giang → Quan Ba → Yen Minh → Dong Van
Pick up your motorbike (or meet your driver) around 7:00–8:00. Photo stop at Quan Ba Heaven’s Gate and the Twin Mountains, then cruise the pine-lined road into Yen Minh. Continue via Sung La Valley and the Vuong Family Palace before checking in at Dong Van. Sunset at the Old Quarter’s stone houses.
Day 2: Dong Van → Lung Cu → Ma Pi Leng → Meo Vac
Morning drive to Lung Cu Flag Tower for borderland views, then back to Ma Pi Leng Pass. Walk short sky paths for dramatic cliff lines. Optional Nho Que River boat in the afternoon to see Tu San Canyon from below. Overnight in Meo Vac with a family dinner.
Day 3: Meo Vac → Mau Due → Du Gia
A quieter, photogenic day. Rolling valleys, terrace viewpoints, and village life. Arrive Du Gia by mid-afternoon; swim at the waterfall (season permitting) and enjoy a local barbecue or Dao herbal bath.
Day 4: Du Gia → Bac Me (optional) → Ha Giang
Return to Ha Giang City through emerald rice fields. Drop off bikes, shower, early dinner, then take a night bus to Hanoi or rest for the next day.
Reverse (counter-clockwise) works too; keep Ma Pi Leng for a clear-sky afternoon if you can.
