See the daily life of the local during the ride through some peaceful villages. Lunch at a local restaurant in Doan Hung Town.
After lunch you will have a better ride with some easy off-road and better views of nature.

It is another highlight of Ha Giang motorbike touring.
Day 3: Ha Giang - Dong Van (170 km / 106 miles)
Today is surely the highlight of this trip. You will have one of the best Vietnam motorbike tours today with amazing views of nature. You will ride on small challenging mountain roads with incredibly beautiful land of colourful mountain hill tribes. You stop at Quan Ba to watch the vast pine forests and winding slopes. Ride on a zig-zag track until you reach Vuong Family's Residence, 14 km from Dong Van.
Vuong’s Family was considered the King of the Hmong People in Dong Van, Ha Giang. Their residence was built in the scenic valley of Sa Phin with Chinese architecture. The whole house was built out of wood and rock only. The rocks for the buildings were imported from China. Vuong’s Family Residence is a masterpiece. It is in the valley of the heavenly beauty of Sa Phin. This is a remote area, and you can meet the hard-working local people here. It is inspiring to see how they survive as they manage to live in the rocks. When you reach Dong Van town, you will have some extra time to wander the ancient streets lined with H'mong homes of clay bricks and tiles roofs-built centuries ago.
Day 4: Dong Van - Bao Lac (130 km / 81 miles)
After enjoying breakfast, you ride your motorcycle up the Ma Pi Leng Pass. Here is yet another amazing place, with cloudy mountain ranges and the poetic Nho Que River winding off in the distance.
It is difficult to find the exact words to describe Ma Pi Leng Pass, located between Dong Van and Meo Vac, near the northernmost tip of Vietnam, as a painting of astonishing beauty and magnificence that captures the eyes of all viewers and nature lovers. The landscape is among the most beautiful scenery of Vietnam, and the slow tempo is only more appreciable. You ride your motorcycle across the wild regions of the mythical province of Ha Giang, (Meo Vac) is included.

Then you have a beautiful motor ride down to Bac Kan Province, finishing the memorable riding day with lunch in a peaceful village of the Tay people nearby Ba Be Lake. In the afternoon. Take a local boat-ride on the reservoir of Na Hang Hydro Power Factory to a village near by Dau Dang Waterfall in Ba Be National Park.
Day 6: Ba Be National Park - Hanoi (260 km / 162 miles)
