More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
A low sun breaks over jagged limestone ribs as you throttle out of Ha Giang city, the road folding and rising like a ribbon through terraced rice and stunted pine. Wind pushes at the 150cc bike; rivers dare you to look away. Over three days you ride the core of the Dong Van Karst Plateau Geopark — Bac Sum, Sa Li and the vertiginous Ma Pi Leng — stopping in Tam Son, Du Gia, Meo Vac and Dong Van to sleep in simple homestays and taste rice wine warmed by wood stoves.
