Ma Pi Leng Pass is one of the "Four Great Mountain Passes" of Vietnam, connecting Dong Van and Meo Vac. This pass is not only a technical marvel but also a masterpiece of nature. Standing on the peak of Ma Pi Leng Pass, visitors will feel overwhelmed by the sheer drop and the emerald Nho Que River winding below.

2. Dong Van Stone Plateau - Global Geopark

The Dong Van Stone Plateau is recognized by UNESCO as a Global Geopark. It is a vivid testament to a complex geological formation process lasting millions of years. The sharp, gray "cat-ear" limestone peaks stretch endlessly, a unique sight that embodies the harsh yet captivating beauty of nature.

Exploring the Dong Van Stone Plateau involves passing through the districts of Quan Ba, Yen Minh, Dong Van, and Meo Vac, where you can visit famous spots like the Dong Van Old Quarter and Lung Cu Flagpole.

3. Cultural Life on the Stone Plateau

The charm of Ha Giang also lies in the culture of its ethnic minorities, such as the H'Mong, Dao, and Lo Lo. Their lives are intimately linked to the rocky slopes, creating a unique cultural identity.

Visiting the villages on the Dong Van Stone Plateau, tourists can see the H'Mong King's Palace, attend traditional markets (especially Dong Van market on Sunday), and enjoy local dishes like thắng cố (horse meat stew) and mèn mén (steamed ground corn).

Ha Giang, with the combination of Ma Pi Leng Pass and the Dong Van Stone Plateau, is an unmissable destination for anyone looking to explore the wild beauty and distinctive culture of the northern mountains.
