Overview

The former HaGiang (now part of Tuyen Quang Province) is known as the northernmost region of the country, featuring extremely rugged terrain with countless mountains ranging from 800m to 1,200m above sea level. The majority of the population belongs to ethnic minorities such as the Tay, Hmong, Dao, Nung, Lachi, Lo Lo, and others, each preserving its own unique cultural identity. For this reason, the area has long been a top destination for tourism and exploration in Vietnam’s Northeast region. Ha Giang is not only renowned for its majestic mountainous landscapes and seasonal flower blooms but also for its rich cultural diversity and vibrant ethnic heritage. Additionally, the winding mountain passes that snake along the slopes offer an irresistible challenge for adventure seekers.
