Ha Giang Loop 3-Day Easy Rider Tour: Dong Van & Ma Pi Leng

Start from Ha Giang Ali Hostel in Ha Giang City. Meet your guide and Easy Rider team, receive a short tour briefing, prepare your luggage, and begin the Ha Giang Loop journey.

The journey starts with a visit to Doc Bac Sum Pass, a breathtaking route with dramatic landscapes and lush valleys, perfect for scenic photography.

Next, ascend to the famed Quan Ba Heaven’s Gate, where panoramic views of the Twin Mountains and the surrounding karst formations captivate travelers.

Continue to the Lung Tam Flax Weaving Cooperative, where you’ll witness the meticulous process of traditional flax weaving, a cultural craft mastered by the H’mong people for centuries.

Ride the Tham Ma Pass switchbacks and visit the H'mong King's Palace (Dinh Vua Meo) in Sa Phin — a 1928 mansion blending H'mong, Chinese and French influences, once the seat of the Vuong dynasty.

Arrive in Dong Van Ancient Town and check in to your homestay. Explore the century-old stone quarter at dusk, with its old market, cafes and traditional H'mong, Tay and Chinese architecture.

After breakfast at the homestay, set off north from Dong Van toward Lung Cu, Vietnam's northernmost point, riding through dramatic karst scenery and remote H'mong villages.

Reach Lung Cu, Vietnam's northernmost point. Climb the 286 stone steps to the Lung Cu Flagpole (~1,700 m) for sweeping views over the karst plateau and across the border into China.

Ascend the legendary Ma Pi Leng Pass — the cliff road above the Nho Que River Gorge, the deepest canyon in Southeast Asia. Stop at the viewpoints for unforgettable panoramas.

Stop at the Tu San Canyon viewpoint to take in the turquoise Nho Que River winding far below between sheer limestone walls — optional boat trips and kayaking can be arranged here.

Descend into Meo Vac and check in to a homestay in Pa Vi, a H'mong cultural village. In the evening enjoy a local dinner and, if your visit falls on Sunday, the famous Meo Vac ethnic market.

After breakfast at the homestay, set off on the scenic ride back toward Ha Giang, climbing out of Meo Vac through the pine-clad highlands and limestone landscapes of the Dong Van Karst Plateau.

Stop in or near Yen Minh for lunch, depending on the group's pace and the day's road conditions, and a short break amid the green valleys and pine forests of this highland town.

Continue over the Bac Sum Pass with a final view of the Fairy Bosom Hills in the Quan Ba valley from below Heaven's Gate, before the last stretch of road down to Ha Giang.

Arrive back in Ha Giang City in the afternoon — time to pick up local specialties (buckwheat honey, Shan Tuyet tea, rice wine) before boarding the overnight sleeper bus to Ha Noi (approx. 17:00–18:00). End of program.
