Ha Giang  a majestic land in Northern Vietnam

Let's explore places not to be missed when coming to ha giang, lung cu flag tower.

Lung Cu is a region in the extreme northeast of Vietnam, located in Dong Van District, Ha Giang Province. This area is renowned for its limestone landscapes, majestic scenery, and the unique culture of ethnic minorities residing in the region. It attracts tourists with its spectacular views of high mountains, terraced fields, and impressive rocky trails.

Additionally, Lung Cu is famous for the flagpole at its namesake mountain pass. The Lung Cu Flag Tower is a significant symbol, often considered the easternmost border of Vietnam. It is not only a captivating tourist destination but also a national emblem, symbolizing the resilience and endurance of the people living in this region.

With the distinctive culture of ethnic minorities, Lung Cu is also a destination for exploration and gaining a deeper understanding of the life, traditions, and arts of Vietnam's ethnic communities

Originating the Nghiem Son mountain range (Yunnan, China) at an elevation of 1,800 meters, the Nho Que River in Ha Giang flows in a northeast direction, traversing treacherous and wild mountainous terrains, and finally reaching the commune of Lung Cu, Dong Van, to enter Vietnam. The river continues its course through the mountain pass of Tu San, along the Ma Pi Leng mountain range. Upon reaching Meo Vac, it bifurcates two branches, flowing the territory of Cao Bang province, before ultimately merging the waters of the Gam River at the Nà Mát junction

Let's conquer the places not to be missed when coming to Ha Giang

Nho que river canyon.

The Nho Que River lies tranquilly at the foot of the Ma Pi Leng Pass, a renowned destination that many young travelers exploring Ha Giang are familiar with.

The serene river flows beside lush green patches within the grandeur of ancient forests, rocky mountains, and the sky.

Visiting this region and exploring the Nho Que River in Ha Giang, one is compelled to conquer the Ma Pi Leng Pass and, conversely, traverse the pass to admire the majestic scenery of the picturesque green river. Nho Que and Ma Pi Leng form a spectacular pair in the landscape of Ha Giang tourism, for without one of the two, the beauty would not be complete
