This might be exactly what you are looking for: a lost valley.

Our ecolodge Pan Hou village is hidden at the heart of the High Song Chay mountains.

The Ha Giang province is the last to open to tourism and offers some of the most striking sceneries in Vietnam. Virgin forests, natural fortress mountains sculpted into terraces, rock formations split by breathtaking canyons.

These majestic landscapes shelter the largest diversity of ethnic minorities in Vietnam.

The Hoa Cuong Hotel is located in the historic town of Dong Van, which is home to the UNESCO Dong Van Stone Plateau, in the mountainous Ha Giang region. The hotel is close to local restaurants and bars and is also a perfect base to explore the stunningly scenic surrounding landscape. All 82 hotel rooms offer free Wi-Fi, ensuite bathrooms and a flat screen tv. Room types range from single rooms to VIP rooms, which boast a separate living room. The hotel consists of 9 floors and received its first guests in 2015. Another highlight when visiting Hoa Cuong Hotel is a scenic walk through the Dong Van old quarters to experience the traditional local culture.

A timber, tile and clay structure encircling a stone courtyard surrounded by a stone wall with haunting limestone peaks looming all around, the Auberge de Meo Vac is a remarkably atmospheric place to stay in Vietnam’s northernmost province, Ha Giang. Originally built in the 1930s as a home for a wealthy Hmong family, the adobe structure was faithfully restored in 2011, and is now the most distinctive place to stay in the town of Meo Vac, at the end of the legendary Ha Giang Extreme Loop. Located just out of town, on a slope among fields of elephant grass and sweet corn, the Auberge de Meo Vac (also known as Nhà Cổ Chúng Pủa) sits at the bottom of one of the steep limestone karsts that hold Meo Vac in a protective fist.

The complex of buildings that makes up the Auberge de Meo Vac is fairly simple and small, but striking, stark, and very attractive. The main structure fronting the stone patio is a two-story rammed-earth building raised on a stone base with wooden beams supporting its overhanging tiled roofs. White windows with decorative ventilation slots adorn the otherwise bare adobe walls. Accessed via stone steps to a thick wooden door, the main structure opens onto a shared living room, with lamps, wooden furniture, and a large fireplace. Up to the steep and fairly treacherous wooden stairs, the second floor is cramped but cozy: it feels like the loft of a medieval home. One side of the main courtyard is open to the countryside, but the other features a wood-and-tile structure on stilts, with the bar and reception downstairs, and the communal dormitory upstairs. The stone courtyard is the main focus of the Auberge: it’s a special and enchanting place to be.
