Dawn breaks over steep limestone folds as the van or motorbike climbs out of Ha Giang City toward Quan Ba’s Heaven Gate. Wind pushes through open windows; pine-scented air and distant river noise fill the cab. You feel the landscape steer you—cornfields give way to ragged cliffs and terraces that drop into the Tu San and Nho Que canyons.
