Destinations in the Ha Giang Loop 3 Days 2 Nights Tour

The Ha Giang Loop Tour 3 Days 2 Nights is a scenic journey through the most spectacular and authentic parts of northern Vietnam.

Each stop reveals a different side of Ha Giang - from winding passes and limestone peaks to ethnic villages and serene valleys. Here’s what you’ll explore along the way:

1. Ha Giang City – The Gateway to the Loop

Your adventure begins in Ha Giang City, the starting point of every Ha Giang loop tour 3 days 2 nights. This small mountain town sits on the banks of the Lo River, surrounded by lush hills and peaceful rice paddies.

Before hitting the loop, travelers often enjoy local cuisine, explore the small market, or take photos at Km0, the symbolic starting point of the journey.

Ha Giang City

2. Quan Ba Heaven Gate – The Roof of the Sky

As you ascend into the mountains, you’ll reach the breathtaking Quan Ba Heaven Gate, one of the most iconic viewpoints in northern Vietnam.

From here, you can see the entire Quan Ba Valley blanketed in clouds and terraced fields. Just nearby stands the Twin Mountains (Fairy Bosom Hills) - two perfectly rounded limestone peaks that have become a symbol of Ha Giang’s beauty.

This first major stop sets the tone for what’s ahead: high mountain passes, misty horizons, and postcard-perfect scenery.

Quan Ba Heaven Gate

3. Yen Minh – The Valley of Tranquility

The next stop on your Ha Giang 3 days 2 nights tour is Yen Minh, a quiet town nestled between karst mountains and pine forests.

Known for its peaceful atmosphere, Yen Minh offers a glimpse into local life far from the tourist crowds.

You’ll stay overnight in a local homestay, enjoy dinner with a host family, and perhaps join villagers for a traditional cup of corn wine (rượu ngô).

Morning walks here are magical — mist drifts between the peaks while locals lead buffaloes to the fields.

4. Lung Khuy Cave – The Hidden Gem

Just before reaching Yen Minh, you’ll explore Lung Khuy Cave, one of the largest and most beautiful caves in Ha Giang.

The cave features a natural system of stalactites and stalagmites illuminated by gentle lights, creating a mysterious, almost otherworldly atmosphere.

This site is often overlooked by mainstream travelers, making it a hidden highlight of the Ha Giang loop 3 days 2 nights adventure.

5. Tham Ma Pass – The Serpent Road

Day two begins with a thrilling ride along the Tham Ma Pass, a zigzag road that winds sharply up the mountain slopes.

This section of the Ha Giang tour 3 days 2 nights is a paradise for photographers and adrenaline lovers alike.

Legend says the pass was once a place where horses were tested for endurance — only the strongest could make it to the top. Today, it’s one of the most photogenic roads in Vietnam.

Tham Ma Pass

6. The H’mong King Palace – Historical Majesty

In the valley of Sa Phin lies the Palace of the H’mong King, also known as the Vuong Family Mansion.

Built in the early 20th century, this grand stone fortress combines French, Chinese, and traditional H’mong architectural styles.

Visiting it gives travelers an intimate look into the powerful H’mong royal family, who once ruled the region. It’s a must-see stop in any Ha Giang loop tour 3 days 2 nights.

The H’mong King Palace

7. Lung Cu Flag Tower – The Northernmost Point of Vietnam

At the top of Lung Cu Mountain stands the Lung Cu Flag Tower, proudly marking Vietnam’s northernmost border.

Climb the 389 steps to the summit and you’ll see sweeping views of mountains, valleys, and small border villages.

This stop is symbolic and patriotic, making many travelers feel a sense of pride as they complete one of the most meaningful parts of the Ha Giang 3-day 2-nights tour.

8. Dong Van Ancient Town – The Stone Plateau Village

Arriving in Dong Van, you’ll feel as if you’ve stepped back in time. This small town is surrounded by grey limestone cliffs and filled with century-old stone houses.

The Dong Van Old Quarter comes alive at night, with locals selling traditional dishes and playing folk music around the square.

Enjoy a cup of mountain coffee, chat with locals, and soak in the atmosphere — a highlight for many joining the Ha Giang tour 3 days 2 nights.

Dong Van Ancient Town

9. Ma Pi Leng Pass – The King of Passes

Often called “the most beautiful road in Vietnam”, the Ma Pi Leng Pass is the crown jewel of the Ha Giang loop 3-day 2-night journey. 

The road snakes along steep cliffs above the Nho Que River Canyon, offering jaw-dropping views at every turn.

Stop at the skywalk viewpoint or take in the panorama from a cliff café — either way, this is the moment that makes every rider fall in love with Ha Giang forever.

Ma Pi Leng Pass

10. Nho Que River – Boat Trip in the Canyon

Below the Ma Pi Leng Pass lies the emerald Nho Que River, winding through vertical rock walls of the Dong Van Karst Plateau.

You’ll take a boat trip or kayak between these towering cliffs - a serene experience that contrasts beautifully with the thrilling mountain roads.

It’s often described as the most peaceful and magical part of the Ha Giang loop tour 3 days 2 nights.

Nho Que River

11. Meo Vac – The Valley of Ethnic Culture

The final destination before looping back to Ha Giang is Meo Vac, a charming mountain town known for its Sunday market.

Here, ethnic minority groups - including the H’mong, Tay, Lo Lo, and Dao - gather to trade goods, livestock, and traditional textiles.

It’s a living cultural museum, giving you one last chance to experience the spirit of Ha Giang before heading back to the city.
