One of the most majestic wonders of Ha Giang, known as the “Four Great Passes” – the legendary Ma Pi Leng Pass is over 20km long with winding curves. Known as the most famous pass in Ha Giang because of its ruggedness and steep cliffs, but in return is the wonderful scenery, drifting clouds, and vast green hills.

When mentioning Ma Pi Leng, we cannot miss the Nho Que River and Tu San Canyon (the deepest canyon in Southeast Asia with a depth of nearly 1km). Just standing on the top of Ma Pi Leng Pass, you can admire the beauty of this river. The Nho Que River is nearly 2km long like a silk strip, winding with blue water all year round. To go boating on the Nho Que River, you can choose to go by motorboat or kayak yourself to experience. But to go through Tu San Canyon, you should go by motorboat.
