Hà Giang
Hà Giang is the base for a three to four day loop through limestone mountains on the Chinese border, past terraced valleys and markets of the Hmong, Tay and Dao communities. Most travellers ride with an easy-rider driver rather than self-driving, as the roads are demanding. It is the most spectacular driving route in Vietnam.
