1. Ma Pi Leng Pass
One of Vietnam’s “four greatest passes.” From the top, you can gaze down at the emerald Nho Que River, winding through steep canyon walls like a silk ribbon. The feeling of standing at this viewpoint – between wind and sky – is unforgettable. If time allows, take a boat ride on the river for a fresh perspective of this epic landscape.

2. Tham Ma Slope

Once used to test the strength of horses, this zigzagging slope is now a hotspot for travelers and photographers alike. During buckwheat flower season, the hillsides bloom with fields of soft pink and purple.

3. Dong Van Old Quarter
A small, peaceful town known for its traditional earthen-wall houses. Mornings are perfect for sipping coffee in the mist, and evenings bring a romantic glow to the lantern-lit streets. On weekends, the Dong Van Market bursts into life, as ethnic villagers come from all over to trade, share stories, and show off their vibrant traditional clothes.

4. The Hmong King’s Palace (Vuong Family Mansion)

A historical gem that once housed the wealthiest family in the region. Its architecture mixes Chinese influences with Hmong traditions, set against a backdrop of limestone peaks. Walking through its stone courtyards is like stepping back in time.

5. Lung Cu Flagpole – Northernmost Point of Vietnam

To reach the top, you’ll climb more than 800 stone steps. But the view? Worth every drop of sweat. From here, you’ll overlook the border and a sea of rolling mountains – a place where many travelers feel they’ve truly touched the edge of Vietnam.

6. Pa Vi, Lung Tao, and Lung Cam Villages

Peaceful local villages where you can meet Hmong people, enjoy grilled sticky rice and corn wine, and learn about their traditions and way of life.
