Journey from Hanoi to Ha Giang by road today, the journey will take approximately eight hours. Watch the scenery change from urban city life to rice terraced mountains.

A full day trek today will reward you with a visit to a Red Dzao village. Spend some time at the village and have a relaxed lunch before trekking back to Pan Ou.
Make the journey from Hoang Su Phi to Bac Ha today. It takes approximately six hours and it's quite a bumpy road, however, the views you will have make it worth while.
Early this morning visit Sin Cheng Market en route to Sapa. This is one of the best markets to visit as it is still relatively unknown and untouched by modern life.
