According to research, the owner of this photo is Ho Gia Bao (3rd year student of the University of Social Sciences and Humanities, Hanoi). The photo was taken by Bao during a 5-day, 4-night trip to Ha Giang in September 2023. The shooting location is the Chin Khoanh slope area, connecting two famous tourist destinations - Pho Cao and Sung La.

Chin Khoanh Slope is part of National Highway 4C - the lifeblood of Ha Giang. This is also the gateway to the Dong Van stone plateau. The terrain is rugged but the scenery on both sides of the road through the slope is extremely impressive, attracting tourists to explore and conquer.

"I took this photo spontaneously on my way to Dong Van ancient town. I was very surprised that the photo received so much attention. I feel happy that I contributed a small part to promoting the image of Ha Giang to everyone," the male tourist from Hanoi shared.

Gia Bao said that Ha Giang is the most special destination for him. Although he has traveled to many countries, provinces and cities across Vietnam, Bao is still most impressed with the landscape of Ha Giang - "a place where no modern equipment can fully depict the majesty and poetry".

"Many social networking sites compare the landscape in the photo to Switzerland, but I personally have no comparison. For me, each place has its own unique, unmistakable characteristics, and Ha Giang is no exception. Only when you set foot there in person can you fully appreciate the wonderful natural picture that nature has bestowed upon this place," Gia Bao expressed.

In recent years, Ha Giang has become a favorite destination for domestic and foreign tourists, especially those who love to explore nature and experience highland culture. Recently, Ha Giang was awarded the award: Asia's Leading Emerging Tourism Destination 2023 by the World Travel Awards (WTA).
