Ha Giang


Ha Giang in summer seems to play in the green color covering the mountains and forests, rustic and poetic but bursting with hope in the distant rocky plateau. People come to Ha Giang when the sweltering summer sun is covering the bustling city space and then that frontier land welcomes us with the characteristic cool air and the sweet sun on every branch of the grass of the highlands.


The blue summer sun of Ha Giang adds a color to the endless green of the Northeast mountains and forests, hovering in the clouds on distant mountain peaks and then gently perched on the beautiful small roof in the remote village and following in the footsteps of people to visit the corn fields.


So that when the sunset falls, the blue sunlight now brightens up a little more in the afternoon, coloring the whole heaven and earth in an enchanting atmosphere that makes people dumbfounded. Looking down on Ha Giang from above is like a strip of green silk across the sky. And somewhere on that dreamy green background, the vast fields are the reddish-brown color of the land quietly hiding under the forests covered with green pine, is the Nho Que stream that appears fully under the abyss without being covered by clouds, just flowing smoothly like the peaceful rhythm of the true Ha Giang people.


Coming to Ha Giang on summer days, visitors can also admire a poetic painting full of style.
