HA GIANG
Located on the banks of the Lo River just south of its confluence with the Mien River. The provincial capital of Ha Giang nestles picturesquely between the two large limestone outcrops known as the Cam and Mo Neo mountains.
Archaeological evidence of early Australoid settlement dating back some 30,000 years was unearthed during the 1980s at Doi Thong (Pine Hill), close to Ha Giang?Ts main market. However, the most important flowering of ancient culture in the region took place after 5,000 BC; Stone Age hunting tools found recently in the Provincê?Ts Na Chao District suggest that the ancient Hoa Binh civilization actually extended much further north than was previously thought. By the start of the Bronze Age, the region was populated largely by the Tay Vu tribe, vassals of the Hung Kings of Van Lang (Viet Tri) whose power base is thought to have been the Dong Van ?" Meo Vac region. Dong Son brose drums and other artifacts found in that area testify to the presence of a high material culture involving settled agriculture, domestication of livestock and animistic religious beliefs. It is probably no coincidence that the tra***ion of making bronze drums for ceremonial purposes continues even to this day amongst the Lo Lo and Pu Peo ethnic minority communities of northern Ha Giang Province.
With its current population of around 536,000, Ha Giang Province is the northernmost Province of Vietnam, covering a total land area of 7,831 square kilometers and sharing a 274 ?" kilometers border with China. A national border crossing is located at Thanh Thuy and there are also local border crossings at Pho Bang, Xin Man and Sam Pun, although foreigners are not as yet authorized to cross into China from any of these points.

Ha Giang Museum
Yen Bien Bridge, Ha Giang Town
(service of Culture and Information)
At the time of writing, Ha Giang Museum is temporarily located in an old wooden building in the grounds of the new library, on the west side of Yen Bien Bridge. Unfortunately, most of the Museum?Ts extensive collection of archaeological, historical and ethnological artifacts is currently in store pending the construction of a new museum, but those on display here are well-worth viewing.
NB: In order to visit the Museum (which is normally kept locked) prior permission must be obtained from the service of Culture and Information a few days before the date of your arrival in Ha Giang .
Ha Giang market
Tran Phu, Ha Giang Town
Ha Giang market is located close to the east bank of the Lo River in the old quarter of the town. It is a daily market, although it is busiest on Sundays. Whilst it is frequented mainly by Vietnamese people, Tay, Nung and Red Dao are often in evidence, as are members of northern Ha Giang Provincê?Ts prolific White H?Tmong ethnic minority.
Pine Hill
Tran Phu, Ha Giang Town
Pine Hill is located behind Ha Giang market. The eponymous pine trees were in fact planted very recently to landscape the area, but excavations have revealed the hill itself to be an area of ancient human settlement which may date back some 30,000 years to the Son Vi period. The late Mr. Truong Viet Thang, whose house lies at the foot of the hill, discovered many ancient axe-heads and other weapons whilst reclaiming land to the west of the hill in the years after 1989; these may now be seen in the local museum and in the History Museum in Hanoi. Mr. Thang subsequently coauthored several academic papers on the subject before his death a few years ago. His widow still lives at the foot of the hill and is always pleased to show visitors the site and sell them a bunch of flowers from her garden.
Fairy stream
Quan Ba road, 1.5 kilometers from Ha Giang Town.
Just 1.5 kilometers out of Ha Giang to the left of the road to Quan Ba Lies Suoi Tien or Fairy Stream, at present just a pleasant picnic area next to a stream but currently earmarked by the provincial government for development as a small recreation area. To get there, cross the Lo River and then continue on until you reach a small road bridge marked Cau so 2 (Bridge No 2). Access *****oi Tien may be gained by climbing the path on the left-hand side of the road immediately after this bridge. Please note that the stream is at its best during the rainy season.
Dong Van ?" Meo Vac
Heading north west out of Ha Giang along National Road 4C takes travelers to the remote region of Dong Van ?" Meo Vac, located at the northernmost tip of Vietnam, close to the Chinese border and just 30 kilometers south of the Tropic of Cancer. The primary tourist attraction of the area is the former H?Tmong royal house at Sa Phin, 16 kilometers before Dong Van, but the colorful costumes of the ethnic people and the majestic mountainous scenery en route make this long and bumpy journey more than worthwhile.
The trip to the Dong Van ?" Meo Vac region can be made as either a two or a three ?" day excursion out of Ha Giang to Meo Vac via Yen Minh and Dong Van involves a distance of some 170 kilometers; on the return journey from Meo Vac to Ha Giang travelers can by-pass Dong Van, heading straight from Meo Vac to Yen Minh via Highways 176 and 180 thereby reducing the overall distance by 22 km.
North of Ha Giang the roads are in very poor con***ion and at times the going can be very hard indeed. At the time of going to press it takes some 9 hours to travel from Ha Giang to Dong Van, including a lunch stop at Yen Minh and an one-hour visit to the former H?Tmong royal hours at Sa Phin. After an overnight stop in Dong Van, travelers can continue on the next morning to Meo Vac, a further 22 kilometers taking approximately 1¼ hours, before returning via Yen Minh to Ha Giang, a journey of around 8 hours including a lunch stoop travelers may wish to add an ad***ional night?Ts stop-over in either Dong Van or Meo Vac, making for a total three-day excursion from Ha Giang. However, it should be noted that since both Dong Van and Meo Vac are located very close to the Chinese border in a remote mountainous area, hill-walking by foreigners around both towns is strictly forbidden, making the number of things for visitors to do in Dong Van and Meo Vac rather limited.
NB: all foreign visitors are required to obtain a special permit before proceeding beyond Ha Giang into the Dong Van ?" Meo Vac area. This can be arranged either directly from the local police or through the Ha Giang Tourist Company, which charges a fee of D150,000 per person for this service.

However, this style of architecture is not confined to the H?Tmong ethnicity ?" the houses of other ethnic minorities of this region, such as the Co Lao and the Pu Peo, are of similar design, no doubt a result of their having lived for generations in close proximity to the H?Tmong.
The physical geography of this area is also unique ?" the soaring mountains on either side of the road between Lang Si and Dong Van are literally covered in an extraordinary carpet of jagged rock, leaving very little land suitable for cultivation purposes.
