Itinerary description

Show original


Very long stage and with a considerable accumulated considerable drop in full by mountain roads.
After closing the circular loop around the north, we came out of Yen Minh to undo what we did in step 1 (now in the other direction) and continue even further to Ha Giang, the capital of the province with the same name. We will cross beautiful mountain landscapes, although they do not have the surrealistic forms of the previous stages. The descent of the second neck is very long and allows us to enjoy an excellent view of the valley that leads to Ha Giang, a great city where we will find all kinds of services.

Once we have lowered our neck and we are at the bottom of the valley, some kilometers before Ha Giang, the traditional farms of the peasants begin to appear on both sides of the road

    He patit, però he disfrutat més, gràcies per descobrir-me aquestes rutes, crec que aquests tres dies era l'únic de Vietnam que les estava fent amb bici i no moto.
