The roads... "tell stories"

BHG - Ha Giang, the northernmost land of the country, is not only famous for its majestic limestone mountains and terraced fields, but also attracts tourists with its winding mountain passes that curve like a silk strip across the sky. These roads are not only the main traffic arteries, but also natural masterpieces, a testament to the indomitable will of the people of the rocky region.

Stepping onto the Stone Plateau, visitors cannot help but be amazed by the magical transformation of the natural landscape with each season. In spring, the roads are covered with pink peach blossoms, pure white plum and pear blossoms. In summer, the immense green of the mountains and corn fields creates a picture full of vitality. In autumn, the terraced fields shimmer with yellow, mixed in the mist, as beautiful as a picturesque landscape. In winter, the passes are covered with a misty mist, and some mountain peaks are even covered with white snow, making visitors feel like they are lost in a fairyland.

Tham Ma Slope, one of the famous mountain passes of Ha Giang.

Ha Giang is known as the "land of legendary roads". When mentioning Ha Giang, it is impossible not to mention Ma Pi Leng Pass, one of the "four great mountain passes" of Vietnam. This pass is an important part of the Happiness Road, a road of historical significance, connecting Ha Giang city with the highland districts of Dong Van and Meo Vac. Ma Pi Leng is like a soft silk strip across the mountain, embracing the green Nho Que River, creating a majestic natural picture. Every bend on Ma Pi Leng Pass is a challenge for drivers who are passionate about discovery. Standing on the top of the pass, visitors can take in the majestic scenery that this river brings and the limestone mountains.

In addition, Bac Sum Pass, Can Ty Slope, and Tham Ma are also routes that anyone who loves to conquer cannot ignore. Each pass has its own beauty and challenges, but all of them contribute to the special appeal of Ha Giang.

To have the winding roads around the mountains like today, there is a lot of effort, sweat and blood of those who opened the roads. They are young volunteers, workers, ethnic minorities who persevere in the rugged mountains and forests, cutting mountains and opening roads. Thanks to them, Ha Giang from a remote and isolated land has now become an attractive destination, attracting tourists from all over.

Foreign tourists love to experience the rocky plateau roads.

Not only possessing breathtaking beauty, Ha Giang roads are also an ideal destination for those who love adventure travel, exploring nature and experiencing indigenous culture. Off-road racing, trekking trips to conquer mountains or simply wandering on rocky roads, all bring unforgettable emotions.

However, to preserve the wild beauty of these routes, environmental protection, landscape conservation and sustainable tourism development are things that need to be taken into consideration. Measures to protect nature and upgrade infrastructure without destroying the landscape will help Ha Giang maintain its appeal.

The roads are not only transportation routes but also emotional journeys, connecting people and nature. No matter how many times you have traveled, each trip here always brings you the same experiences. Protecting and promoting the value of these roads is not only a duty but also a pride of every citizen, so that Ha Giang will always be a destination for those who love to conquer and explore.
