Ha Giang, the land in the top of the country is not only famous for the majestic scenery of nature and mountains but the ethnic minority people, who are so kind and hospitable. If you are planning to go to Ha Giang but do not know how to prepare for it, let us share the best experience for self-traveling to Ha Giang with you!
The most suitable transportation to go to Ha Giang is motorbikes because there are many breathtaking scenes for you to stop for capturing and sightseeing, which is not convenient at all if you travel by car.
But the road in Ha Giang is quite difficult to go because of many dangerous passes, so you need to master your wheel perfectly.
For motorcyclists, please note: check the brake before leaving, always pay attention to gasoline (usually will be poured in Yen Minh, Dong Van, and Meo Vac).
In the passage or sharp bend in the road, drive slowly and remember to use the horn to signal the opposite.
If you drive to Ha Giang, you should stay in the city for 1 night. Cheap accommodation can be through the Union hotel, there are rooms for groups with only 50.000 VND / person, with hot shower. In Yen Minh, there are a lot more homestays for you to choose from, and it is the same in Dong Van.
There are some places like the Old Town Coffee also has homestay but a slightly degraded condition with the cheap price of 50.000 VND / person. It has a big downside, which is noisy, lots of mosquitoes, and small water line in the bathroom. You can choose other homestays in the same street (you can easily find them in the street) with the price of about 100.000 VND / person.
Ha Giang in the festival season is often out of rooms, especially in Dong Van and Meo Vac, you should book the room before coming there. If you are brave and want to have more experience, then you can rent some tents from Hanoi, and sleep outside in the night.
Another interesting homestay for you is to sleep in Pao’s house in Lung Cam Village, Doi Su. There are enough blankets, mats, electricity, water … with only 50.000 VND / person.
The average price for one meal in Ha Giang is 40.000 VND / person. The specialties in Ha Giang you should try is hen porridge (this dish is usually sold at dark), old town cake (this dish is breakfast, the restaurant Bich Dong Van serves the best dish), sticky rice… There are also other dishes such as the traditional cake, horse meat, corn wine… they are typical dishes in Ha Giang that you should try.
It’s cold at night, you should bring a thin jacket. In November, it is very cold, so you should wear warm clothes. The best shoes should be climbing shoes or walking shoes. Your pack should be the lighter the better.
What is the time when the triangle is in the most beautiful season? Around the end of October and early November, the flowers begin to bloom beautifully.
If you can not go this season, you can go in spring, 3-5 days in Lunar New Year, this time the peach blossom is beautiful too. You can come and experience the spring air in Ha Giang, the traditional Tet festival with the minor people in this land is also interesting too.
April is also beautiful, this is the time when people in Ha Giang started to plant corn, you will be watching the labor atmosphere in the rocky plateau. Watching the scenery on the cliffs, climbing on the rocky mountain…
After all, Ha Giang is beautiful, because visitors go to Ha Giang to see the beauty of wild, the majestic of the rocky plateau. In any season, the beauty is still intact, in any season dresses, costumes of Ha Giang people are still colorful.
