Why Visit Ha Giang in Tuyen Quang?

A Year-Round Tapestry of Nature and Culture

Ha Giang, nestled in Tuyen Quang Province, is a UNESCO Global Geopark and cultural gem, drawing over 250,000 visitors annually to its Dong Van Karst Plateau. Located 145 km northeast of Tuyen Quang City and 300 km from Hanoi’s Hoan Kiem Ward, this highland region captivates with its seasonal landscapes—spring peach blossoms, summer rice terraces, autumn buckwheat flowers, and rare winter snow. With entry to key sites like Dong Van Market or Lung Cu Flagpole at $1–$2 (25,000–50,000 VND), it offers a vibrant mix of natural beauty and ethnic traditions, set in a cool climate (dry season: November–April, 10–22°C or 50–71.6°F; rainy season: May–October, 18–28°C or 64.4–82.4°F).

Home to 17 ethnic groups, including Hmong, Tay, and Dao, Ha Giang blends eco-tourism with cultural immersion, featuring sustainable practices like organic farming, solar-powered homestays, and biodegradable market stalls, aligning with Tuyen Quang’s “Green Highlands” initiative. From spring planting festivals to autumn harvests, each season unveils unique charm. Legend Travel Group’s sustainable tours guide you through this seasonal wonderland, ensuring a green, authentic journey.
