Ha Giang, the northernmost province of Viet Nam, is the most attractive destination in the country, with the rocky plateau at Dong Van, the love market at Khau Vai, Heaven's Gate over the Quan Ba Pass and the friendly, colourful ethnic groups.

Located 320km to the north of Ha Noi on the border with China, the district at an elevation of 1,000m above sea level and with its fresh, cool climate, typifies the beauty of Ha Giang. From there, we set out for the Quan Ba Pass and Heaven's Gate.

From the top of the mountain pass, looking down across a large valley of unending terraced fields, displaying a charming beauty like a paradise dimly visible through the clouds. They carpet the ground in a patchwork of yellow rice, green shoots and brown mountain earth, with small houses nestled in between.

Standing out from this colourful valley is Twin Mountain, certified as a national heritage site by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism last year.

Its twin peaks rise up like the breasts of a giant woman, lying on the valley floor. The mountain is truly a product of leaching and erosion, combined with tectonic movement from a fault line below that last occurred around 5 million years ago. In actual fact, Quan Ba boasts an extensive karst landscape, but many regard Twin Mountain as its most beautiful feature, due to its picturesque setting.

With its temperate climate and fertile soil, locals can grow vegetables such as kohlrabi, cabbages, mustard greens, tomatoes and potatoes, as well as flowers including roses, daisies and violets, that they sell in the town to their income.

Despite the bad weather and difficultive material facilities, locals work hard to find their way out of poverty. Actually, nature and pepple' s life in Ha Giang are attractive tourist destination of Vietnam carring beaty of Vietnamese Culture.
