We begin our day in Ha Giang by crossing the river in town, then ride out along peaceful back roads, soaking in the vibrant rhythm of daily life. The journey takes us through quiet jungle forests and along gentle country roads, offering a chance to truly connect with the landscape.
As we descend into lush green fields, warm smiles and friendly greetings from the locals welcome us into their world. We eventually reach Highway QL43, where we turn right and enjoy a smooth, moderate ride for about 8 kilometers, tracing the curves of the river.
The scenery opens up to picturesque valleys and charming villages, each offering postcard-worthy views. We then turn left onto the DT176, continuing our ride through the highlands with a well-deserved lunch stop en route to Du Gia.
In the afternoon, the route becomes even more spectacular. Towering mountains, dramatic cliffs, and lush, sweeping valleys frame the ride. It's a photographer’s dream—and a wonderful chance to meet and interact with the region’s colorful ethnic tribes, making this day as culturally rich as it is visually stunning.
