We begin the day departing from the charming Dong Van Ancient Town, cycling a few gentle kilometers to warm up before the terrain quickly shifts. As we gain momentum, the road winds into the mountains, leading us toward one of Vietnam’s most spectacular cycling experiences—the Ma Pi Leng Skywalk. This iconic stretch delivers sweeping views of jagged limestone peaks and deep river valleys, with every turn offering a fresh perspective of the rugged Ha Giang landscape.
The ride across Ma Pi Leng Pass is the highlight of the day, a breathtaking mix of challenge and beauty as we climb and coast along sheer cliffs with panoramic vistas all around. From the summit, we begin a careful descent into the valley below, where a tranquil change of pace awaits.
We trade our bikes for a peaceful boat ride on the emerald waters of the Nho Que River. Surrounded by towering cliffs and the dramatic canyon walls of Tu San Gorge, this scenic journey provides a serene contrast to the intensity of the mountain pass.
After the boat ride, we meet up with our support vehicle for a short transfer into Meo Vac. Upon arrival, we check in at our hotel. The remainder of the afternoon is free for you to unwind, stroll through the market town, or simply take in the mountain air before regrouping for dinner.
