Ha Giang now has its first 5-star hotel.

Ha Thanh village is located in a peaceful and rustic Tay ethnic village, notable for its traditional stilt houses scattered along the mountainside, the clear stream winding through the village, and the slow pace of life in harmony with nature. The people here are kind, hospitable, and still preserve many unique ancient customs.

To reach the waterfall, visitors only need to walk a short distance to the end of the village, crossing a small stream and a dirt path leading to the waterfall area – it's not too difficult, suitable for families or beginners experiencing nature.

Xa Phin Village - The cultural heart of the Red Dao people amidst the mountains and forests of Ha Giang.

Located in the newly established Thanh Thuy commune, Xa Phin village is considered an important cultural center of the Red Dao community – a prominent ethnic minority with a rich traditional culture. After the merger, Xa Phin has increasingly been developed as an attractive cultural destination, offering opportunities to deeply experience the unique way of life and beliefs of the people.

One of the distinctive features here is the coming-of-age ceremony – a sacred ritual marking maturity and integration into the community, with solemn reenactments of ancestor and deity worship. This is not only a spiritual symbol but also a strong bond within the Red Dao community.

Visitors to Xa Phin also have the opportunity to admire and visit ancient tea trees hundreds of years old – symbols of the enduring vitality of the mountainous region. They can pick tea leaves themselves, learn traditional tea processing methods from artisans, and enjoy the special flavor of ancient tea imbued with the essence of the mountains and forests.

Equally fascinating is the experience of making traditional sticky rice cakes – a dish associated with coming-of-age ceremonies and family bonds among the Red Dao people. Under the guidance of artisans, visitors directly pound, shape, and wrap the cakes using natural ingredients such as fragrant, sticky upland rice, fresh green banana leaves, and rustic forest vines. Enjoying the cakes with ancient tea in a traditional stilt house creates a warm, intimate, and meaningful atmosphere.

Furthermore, the sacred fish pond in Xa Phin is considered a "sacred treasure of the mountains and forests." It is home to the bỗng fish – a unique species found only in Ha Giang, holding deep spiritual significance for the local people. The pond is not only a symbol of religious belief but also a point of harmony between nature and humanity. Visitors can enjoy peaceful moments by the clear blue lake, feed the bỗng fish, and listen to meaningful folk tales, demonstrating respect for nature and the inviolability of the sacred fish pond.

Thuan Hoa - A harmonious blend of nature and culture in the mountainous river region.

Thuan Hoa is a relatively new but promising destination for those who love the pristine beauty of nature and the cultural identity of the highlands. With the picturesque scenery of the Mien River winding through the mountains and forests, it offers an experience that is both majestic and peaceful. The Mien River is likened to a green silk ribbon draped across the valley, the source of life and pride for the local people. Along both banks of the river are hidden stilt houses, sprawling rice fields, and steep cliffs – creating a landscape like a traditional ink painting.

A highlight not to be missed is the "mini Tu San gorges" - narrow, sheer cliffs reminiscent of the famous Tu San wonder in Nho Que. At Thuan Hoa, visitors can stroll or take a boat ride on the turquoise waters, getting closer to the fascinating natural scenery.
