As one of the new coordinates of Ha Giang tourism, Meo Vac sinkhole is also called "God's Hole" or "Heaven's Well of Ha Giang" by travel enthusiasts. As the name suggests, this place is a "huge" hole located in the middle of a pine hill about 3km from Meo Vac town.
Viewed from above, this place looks like a giant skylight with extremely impressive beauty. With a depth of nearly 40m, inside the sinkhole is an ideal environment for many tropical plants to grow, most of which are ferns. Looking from the bottom of the hole, you will have a panoramic view of the clear blue sky of Ha Giang and feel like you are stepping back into prehistoric times.

Along with the Meo Vac sinkhole, Suoi Thau steppe is a new place but not to be missed when coming to Ha Giang. Located at an altitude of 1200m and several hundred hectares wide, this place is surrounded by the gentle Chay River and cloudy mountains. Therefore, the natural scenery on the steppe is likened to miniature Switzerland in the middle of Ha Giang.
Standing from the steppe, you can see the whole scene of Coc Pai town or surrounding areas (then Phang, Chi Ca, Coc Re, etc.). These are the houses of the Mong people, rice fields, or picturesque fruit gardens. In particular, the steppe also has many fields of triangular flowers planted by people themselves.
