Thuy Tien's idea of backpacking to Ha Giang began to grow in the student's mind because of her desire not to miss any of the natural beauty on the roads she had traveled. "I am passionate about traveling, but every time I make plans with friends, those appointments gradually become forgotten. July is the time when I have summer vacation, I want to experience and try traveling in a new way, so I decided to backpack by motorbike. Because I think many people have also traveled safely, if I keep hesitating and not daring, I will not be able to go anywhere and will not have any special experience," Thuy Tien confided.

The two words "first time"
Previously, Thuy Tien had been on many trips but mainly chose to travel by public transport or bus. This was the first time the 20-year-old girl dared to step out of her comfort zone to start other more difficult trips in the future. After consulting on groups, Thuy Tien chose Ha Giang as the milestone to mark her first time traveling by motorbike.
Ha Giang is located in the northern mountainous region, the northernmost land of the country, famous for its series of pristine natural landscapes. In July, Ha Giang is covered with a lush green carpet of mountains and forests. The golden rays of sunlight shine down on all the roads and passes, making everything come alive. Therefore, this place becomes an ideal destination for travel enthusiasts to thoroughly explore the beauty of the summer natural picture.

Unlike previous trips, this was the first time the young student signed up for a backpacking tour without knowing anyone in the group before. Meeting strangers, but with a shared passion for exploring Vietnam's mountain passes, the group of young people successfully conquered Ha Giang. Thuy Tien said: "At first, I was a bit worried that going alone and not knowing anyone would make the trip less fun, but everyone was very friendly and I found people with similar ideals on this trip."
For her first backpacking trip in her life, Thuy Tien prepared herself with the most comfortable spirit to be ready to enjoy the trip. Because she had to move a lot, the student only brought three or four sets of clothes and limited the amount of unnecessary things.

Choosing to travel by motorbike, the weather is an important factor affecting the trip. The whole trip was fortunately favorable weather, but perhaps the scorching sun of Ha Giang was the memory that Thuy Tien remembered the most. That July sun seemed to not be able to discourage the enthusiastic young people, always eager to explore new things in the surrounding life.
The group departed from Hanoi with the destination being Dong Van district, Ha Giang province.

Worthwhile experience
Traveling on a long journey of nearly 400 km through dangerous and arduous downhill roads, the results that the young people received were completely worthy. Witnessing the majestic natural scenery with their own eyes, holding the camera to record precious memories.
Thuy Tien excitedly shared: “Ha Giang has an indescribable beauty, but just looking at the scenery here makes all the sadness fly away. The roads are also very dangerous, but looking down from a certain angle is absolutely beautiful. I have been to many different highlands, but this is the place that left the most impression on me.”
The natural scenery of Ha Giang appears majestic and poetic.
Not only did she get to admire the beautiful scenery, the trip also gave Thuy Tien the opportunity to learn about the rich traditional culture, enjoy new dishes and meet friendly people from many ethnic groups.
In the near future, the 20-year-old girl plans to travel to all 25 provinces in the North, then hopes to conquer 63 provinces and cities in Vietnam. Thuy Tien also wants to try out completely different forms of travel from the safe trips she has experienced before.
