Set in the northeastern region of Vietnam, Ha Giang is a province which is considered by many to feature some of Indochina’s most breathtaking natural scenery. The province is characterised by forested limestone and granite mountains which form an ideal environment for outdoor activities such as trekking, mountain climbing, and camping. The best-known rocky area in the province is the Dong Van Rock Plateau, a site recognised by UNESCO as one of the world’s 77 geological parks. This spectacularl area is home to Lung Cu, a tiny little hamlet that features the renowned Lung Cu Flag Tower on Dragon Mountain. Other attractions in the Ha Giang area include a number of colourful local markets, the exquisite rice terraces of Hoang Su Phi, and the Hmong King Palace, a unique architectural landmark built in the early twentieth century.
