Travel Guide to Ha Giang Vietnam

Ha Giang Vietnam
The road from Ha Giang City to Dong Van is breathtaking...

Ha Giang Province and Dong Van are not yet visited by most foreign travellers to Vietnam. Some adventure travellers stray from the well beaten path and visit Ha Giang by motorbikes. The hotels in Ha Giang City and Dong Van Town are of basic standards only. There are no luxury properties in the area just yet. The restaurants in Dong Van are closed early, so if you plan to travel to Dong Van, be prepared to have early dinner.
