VietNamNet Bridge - Located in northeastern Vietnam, Ha Giang Province is a paradise for nature lovers, trekkers and eco-tourists.

Flanked by the Lo River and the Mien River, dominated by the peaks of the Tay Con Linh and Kieu Lieu Ti, the province’s landscape is spectacular, with its many high rocky summits, its striking limestone formations and its numerous springs.

It is a relatively unpopulated area of Vietnam due to its challenging topography, which makes it an ideal base for trekking tours.

Counting about a thousand species of herbal plants, bamboo and many species of trees, the primary forest is as pretty as a postcard with its cascading streams, waterfalls and pools. It also shelters abundant wildlife, and patient observers may be rewarded by an encounter with a pangolin or a one of the 16 species of reptiles or 36 species of amphibians known to live in the area, to name but a few of the inhabitants.
