9. Ma Pi Leng pass
The Ma Pi Leng pass is the most impressive mountain pass in Vietnam at an altitude of 1,500 meters. It is located between Dong Van and Meo Vac, two cities in the far north of Vietnam in Ha Giang province, close to the border with China. It is the most amazing mountain road in all of Vietnam.
It lies along the asphalted national road 4C with the nickname “The Happiness Road”. The road was built in the 60s by a lot of workers, mainly ethnic minorities from the area. It took 11 years to finish the whole road.
It is known as the King of Vietnamese mountain passes. There are cliffs and abysses almost everywhere along the route and enough hairpin bends to get dizzy. The road along the mountainside has a romantic, breathtaking landscape that is ideal for motorcycling. The road to the top, considered “the Great Wall of Vietnam”, feels like a scene from a fairy tale.
10. Panoramic & Unspoiled Du Gia – Mau Due
Du Gia is a remote and beautiful village located in the Ha Giang province of northern Vietnam. It is part of the Quan Ba district and is renowned for its stunning landscapes, ethnic diversity, and serene surroundings. Du Gia is increasingly becoming a popular destination for travelers seeking an off-the-beaten-path experience and a chance to immerse themselves in the authentic culture of Vietnam’s highlands.
The most spectacular stretch to drive is between Mau Due and Du Gia. It is not the safest road with many holes and bends. The mountain passes are impressive, perhaps even more so than around Dong Van. In some areas you can see many rice terraces that turn golden yellow during the right season. Along the way you will find a ruin of a French watchtower from the colonial era. Expect to give a lot of high fives to the kids along the way who greet you kindly.
There is not much to do in Du Gia, the route to this place is actually the highlight. You can walk through the village and see the locals working on the rice fields who greet you with a smile and you see the traditional houses built on stilts. Every Saturday morning, this small town hosts a market where the region’s colorful inhabitants gather.
Riding through Ha Giang is a soul-stirring experience that takes you on a journey through Vietnam’s most enchanting landscapes and cultural treasures. From the breathtaking Dong Van Karst Plateau Geopark to the vibrant Meo Vac Sunday Market and the serene beauty of the terraced rice fields, every moment of your motorcycle adventure in Ha Giang will be filled with wonder. So, rev up your engine, embrace the freedom of the open road, and embark on an unforgettable exploration of this hidden gem in Vietnam.
