In the winter days of Lao Xa Village, Sung La Commune, Dong Van District, a delicate layer of frost blankets the trees.
Approximately 80-90% of Ha Giang visitors embark on the Ha Giang Loop, starting from the city center and traversing Quan Ba, Yen Minh, Dong Van, Meo Vac, and back. This route unveils diverse landscapes, from mountains and forests to villages.
Lao Xa Village, showcased in these photos, stands out for its untamed essence, untouched by tourism development.
The film studio in Sung La, featured in "The Story of Pao," has become a popular tourist spot, particularly charming in spring when white plum blossoms cover the landscape.
Moving on to Pho Cao Commune in Dong Van District, the tranquility of the spring scenery, especially post-Lunar New Year in February, captured Trung's heart.
Scenes of daily life, like people drying blankets outside their doors in Pho Cao, offer a glimpse into the authentic rhythm of the region.
Spring arrives early in a village near Meo Vac District, marked by blossoming peach trees.
The journey through Ha Giang includes conquering the famed 9-Turn Pass and connecting Pho Cao with Sung La, a route renowned for its continuous, winding, and steep turns. Some adventurers consider this pass, part of the Dong Van Karst Plateau, the most daring stretch of the journey.
The legendary Ma Pi Leng Pass, one of Vietnam's four great passes, makes a dim appearance under the warm sunlight.
Trung, opting for a pickup truck instead of the more common motorbikes, describes the experience of driving through the road as impressive, offering firsthand views of Ha Giang's mountains and forests.
