Life on mountain ranges

Must read

Ha Giang, the northernmost province of Vietnam, boasts breathtaking landscapes that have captivated many tourists. However, it is the unique way of life among the local ethnic communities that truly makes this place special.

Starting from Ma Pi Leng Pass, our journey takes us along perilous roads clinging to cliffs, leading to the remote villages of the Mong ethnic people along the canyon sides in the highland communes of Meo Vac District.

Clay houses with stone fences in the Dong Van Karst Plateau Geopark have stood for centuries. From these villages, we gaze upon the Nho Que River, resembling a delicate green silk ribbon meandering across the plateau. The lives of the Mong ethnic people are intimately entwined with nature, as they cultivate corn, rice, and vegetables amidst the clouds and mountains.
