A cold morning fog peels back from razor-backed ridges as the limousine slides out of Ha Giang city toward the high plateau. Road and rock alternate like chapters—tight switchbacks, sheer drops, and sudden plateaus where villages appear on the horizon. Rivers dare you to look down; cliffs push the car along the road’s thin seam.
