What’s included (and what isn’t)
-
Standard site tickets (e.g., Vuong Palace, Lung Cu base) cover entry only. Parking, electric carts, or on-site guides are extra unless posted otherwise.
-
Nho Que River boats are typically shared boat fares. Many piers sell a combo that already includes the motorbike shuttle from the road down to the dock; if you ride yourself to the water, expect parking/shuttle to be separate.
-
Geopark spans an entire region; there’s no single gate ticket. You’ll only pay at specific micro-attractions if they charge.
Opening hours, best times & micro-tips
-
Vuong Family Residence: 07:00–17:00. Arrive early to avoid tour crowds; interior is dim—bring a fast phone camera mode.
-
Lung Cu Flag Tower: 07:00–17:00. The staircase is a workout; save golden hour for photos across the terraced hills. Parking fee is modest.
-
Sung La Valley: free, but Oct–Dec is magic for buckwheat blooms; go morning for diffuse light.
-
Dong Van Old Quarter: free, most atmospheric on Sunday with handicrafts and street food.
-
Nho Que River boats (Tu San Canyon): Nov–Apr gives clear, calm water. Wear a windbreaker for the ride; boat + shuttle combos simplify logistics.
-
Ma Pi Leng Pass: free. Weather shifts quickly—keep rain covers handy and stop only at marked view cafés or pull-offs.
-
Nam Dam Village: free to enter; try the herbal bath after a ride and consider a homestay to slow down the loop.
Small costs many travelers forget
-
Parking at viewpoints/pier trailheads: usually 5,000–10,000 VND per stop.
-
Costume rentals (ethnic outfits) for photo ops at Lung Cam and around Dong Van: commonly 10,000–30,000 VND per set.
-
Dock shuttles for Nho Que if you didn’t buy a boat-plus-shuttle combo.
-
Hot drinks/coffee at view cafés along Ma Pi Leng (well worth the stop and the vista).
Sample half-day budget (Dong Van area)
-
Lung Cu base ticket: 10,000 VND + parking 5,000 VND
-
Vuong Palace ticket: 20,000 VND
-
Sung La Valley: Free
-
Snacks/drinks: 30,000–60,000 VND
Estimated tickets/parking total: ~35,000 VND (≈ US$1.4) plus your food, fuel, or guide costs.
The loop stays affordable if you balance free viewpoints with one paid highlight per day.
Itinerary ideas using these prices
1) Iconic North Loop Day (tickets ~30–35k VND)

Money-saving tips for 2025
-
Pick one paid icon per day (Lung Cu, Vuong Palace, or Nho Que boat) and pair it with two or three free spots (Ma Pi Leng, Sung La, Old Quarter).
-
Bundle stops that share parking areas to reduce multiple 5k–10k fees.
-
Rent costumes once in the most photogenic spot to limit repeat charges.
-
Eat local (bún/phở/BBQ stalls) to keep daily spend lean without missing flavor.
-
Go early or late to dodge queues and shoot better photos—time is money when you’re on a tight loop.
