By train, then local bus

Another option for you is to hop on and hop off during the trip to experience traveling by train from Hanoi to Lao Cai town, then bus from Lao Cai to Ha Giang.

This way, you can stay in Lao Cai for a while to visit Sapa and Bac Ha before heading for Ha Giang on a local bus (6 hours).

If you arrive in Lao Cai right before Sunday, that would be perfect for a visit to the Sunday market of the minor ethnic people called Hmong.

That option is perfect for slow travelers who want to see and try and experience as many things as possible.
