How to get there
The Du Gia Commune is 75km northwest of Ha Giang City via Route 34 and Provincial Route 176. Route 34 is in fine conditions but provincial route 176 is always in very bad conditions which allow only motorbikes or mountain bikes.
If you follow Route 176 northwest then Meo Vac is 80km away. The road is mostly in bad conditions but the leg from after Mau Duy Township is fairly good all the way to Meo Vac. The landscape is beyond extraordinarily beautiful!
