Determining which season is the most beautiful to go to Ha Giang is very difficult because it will be different depending on each person's feelings. However, Ha Giang's nature is truly favored by nature, depending on the season. At each moment, Ha Giang will have its beauty.
If you want to admire the brilliant picture of Ha Giang in the early days of the ripe rice season, then come to this land in September. This is the time when the terraced fields in Hoang Su Phi are ripe, with golden fields shimmering in the afternoon sun.
If you are a fan of Ha Giang Buckwheat Flowers, then don't forget to visit this place in October and November every year. This is the most beautiful time of the year for you to admire the dreamy, beautiful flower fields amidst the clouds in Ha Giang. You can go to Lung Cam Cultural Village, Thach Son Than-Quan Ba, the foot of Ma Pi Leng Pass, or the Lung Cu Flagpole to see the flowers.
If you want to enjoy the cold mountain atmosphere in the last days of the year, then come to Ha Giang in the days from December to the Lunar New Year. This is also the time when the fields of yellow mustard flowers begin to bloom, along with countless peach blossoms and plum blossoms that adorn the beauty of heaven and earth.
And if you visit here in the summer, don't forget to see the brilliant paintings of the pouring water season. And to capture this moment, you should come here from June to August. During this period, the terraced fields will turn into impressive giant mirrors.
If you travel to Ha Giang by motorbike, don't forget to check the vehicle's brakes, wheels, headlights, turn signals, and oil carefully before starting the journey! You should also bring a basic car repair kit or at least a hand pump to ensure smoothness throughout the journey.
To ensure safety on a long journey, you should prepare personal items such as a ¾ helmet with a windshield and the ability to keep your ears warm; a jacket; jeans/khaki pants/parachute pants; leather boots/sneakers; a raincoat with a nylon cover; a scarf; a face mask; backpacking gloves; a protective suit; and a and a compact backpack. You should make appropriate and smart choices; otherwise, your luggage will become too bulky and hinder your trip!
This is one of the two most popular routes that people often choose when starting their trip to Ha Giang by motorbike. The ideal time for you to start your journey is from early September to mid-October. The expected duration of this route is 2 days and 1 night, with the route starting from KM Milestone 0 in Ha Giang.
Throughout this journey, you will visit a series of famous places in Ha Giang, such as Thong Nguyen, Nam Ty, Quang Vinh Town, Ban Phung, Ban Luoc, Ho Thau, and San Xa Ho, before returning downtown.
This is a longer backpacking route than the Hoang Su Phi route, with a minimum journey of 2 days and 1 night, and the ideal is still 4 days and 3 nights—just the right amount of time for you to fully explore the border area.
For this route, you should also choose KM Milestone No. 0 Ha Giang as the starting point. Then, during the journey, you will visit a series of famous landmarks as well as conquer a series of famous slopes, for example, Bac Sum Slope - Ha Giang, Quyet Tien Market, Quan Heaven Gate Ba, Quan Ba Twin Mountain, Lung Khuy Cave, Can Ty Slope, Tham Ma Slope, Chin Khoanh Slope - Ha Giang, Sung La, Meo King's Palace (Vuong Family Mansion), Dong Van Stone Plateau, Dong Van Ancient Town, Lung Cu Flagpole, Happy Road in Ha Giang, Ma Pi Leng Pass, and Nho Que River.
Recognized as one of the Four Great Passes of the Northern Region of our country, Ma Pi Leng Pass, although only 20 km long, has the most winding and majestic road. On the journey to conquer this 'difficult' pass, you will have to face consecutive bends and have to overcome roads with large slopes before reaching the highest point of the pass.
From here, you will have a clear view straight towards the emerald green Nho Que river crossing below, like a peach silk sheet. Standing from the highest point at Ma Pi Leng, you will see an impressive picture of Northeastern nature.
As one of the 6 largest markets in Ha Giang, Khau Vai Love Market, also known as Phong Luu Love Market, is an interesting market. Here, trading is just a side thing. Most of the participants in this special market are couples who, for some reason, were unable to get married.
If you want to attend the Khau Vai love market, you should come to this borderland around the middle of the third lunar month each month. Normally, the market will open in the afternoon of the 26th day of the third lunar month, so you should pay attention to choosing the right time to go.
Located right on top of Dragon Mountain at an altitude of about 1,700 meters above sea level, the Lung Cu Flagpole is considered a sacred mark in the northernmost part of our country. Standing from the highest point of the flagpole, you will breathe the airy air and feel the cool refreshment filling your chest.
From here, looking out into the distance, you will see seemingly endless mountain ranges and hills, or somewhere fields of flowers in bloom, full of life. All together, they painted a picture of lush, vibrant nature at the heart of the country.
