At Quan Ba Heaven Gate, we stop to enjoy panoramic views over Tam Son town and the Twin Mountains, take photos, breathe in the cool mountain air, and learn a bit about the local landscape before continuing deeper into the Ha Giang Loop.

At Tham Ma Pass, we ride through a series of iconic hairpin turns, stop at the viewpoint for photos, and hear local stories about how this steep pass once tested the strength of horses—an unforgettable highlight of the Ha Giang Loop.

At Dinh Vua Meo (Hmong King Palace), we walk through the historic Vuong family mansion, learn about H’mong culture and the palace’s fascinating past, explore its stone courtyards and architecture, and take photos before continuing the Ha Giang Loop.

We arrive in Dong Van Ancient Town, the cultural heart of the rocky plateau. After checking in at the hotel, there’s time to rest and freshen up before heading out. In the evening, we explore the old quarter with its century-old stone houses, lantern-lit streets, and lively local atmosphere. This is a great moment to feel the rhythm of Dong Van, meet locals, and prepare to enjoy a warm dinner together—ending the day with good food and a relaxed mountain-town vibe.
