It is referred to as the "king" of Vietnam passes. Ma Pi Leng pass with one side is the deep chasms, another side is the erect cliff, which has been a big challenge to those who preferred adventure. After crossing the slopes, visitors set foot on the top of Ma Pi Leng, will suddenly surprise the majestic mountains appear in the sky.
Nothing can portray the layer upon layer, mile upon mile of the mountain, the magic of the cloud, the depths of the abyss, and the green Nho Que river at the foothills. With the majestic scenery, the visitors will think that they are almost halfway up the sky.
Time to visit:
Ha Giang’s four seasons are beautiful and poetic. So, you can pass the Ma Pi Leng at any time of the year.
However, from June to August is summer which is always sunny in Ha Giang; therefore, it is a good time to have beautiful pictures of the plateau. But over the summer, the road is quite slippery. In the morning and evening, there is often thick fog. You should be careful and go in the safest time.
Coming to Ha Giang explore the majestic scene and take me to some interesting experiences this place.
