This is the majestic yet poetic scenery of Northern Vietnam’s mountainous region—a precious gem waiting to be discovered, though still challenging to access.

Breaking News: Construction Begins On the Hoang Su Phi – Bac Quang – Xin Man Road

Exciting news has finally arrived for travel lovers and adventure seekers!
The construction of the Hoang Su Phi – Bac Quang – Xin Man inter-district road has officially begun, marking a major milestone in opening up Western Ha Giang to the world.

With a total estimated investment of over 2,000 billion VND (approximately 85 million USD), according to the Ha Giang Provincial Information Portal, this project is far more than a transportation upgrade—it is a bridge bringing your dream adventures closer than ever.

Why This Matters To You As An Adventurous Traveler

Have you ever hesitated because of dangerous mountain roads, exhausting travel hours, or safety concerns when planning a trip to Hoang Su Phi or Xin Man? This new road is the answer.

Once completed, it will significantly reduce travel time, improve safety, and enhance overall comfort. For example, the journey from Ha Giang City to Hoang Su Phi—previously taking 6–7 hours on difficult roads—could be shortened to just 3–4 hours.

This means legendary destinations such as the UNESCO-recognized Hoang Su Phi rice terraces, the majestic Tay Con Linh peak, and immersive Lo Lo cultural experiences in Xin Man will no longer feel out of reach. Experts from the Vietnam Institute for Tourism Development predict that tourist arrivals to Western Ha Giang and Xin Man could increase by at least 35% annually over the next three years.

This road is not just infrastructure—it is a gateway to hidden landscapes, rich cultures, and unforgettable journeys that few have experienced before. Get ready for the adventure of a lifetime.

Beyond The Beaten Path: Hoang Su Phi, Bac Quang & Xin Man At A Glance

Have you ever dreamed of exploring places where time slows down, where indigenous culture remains intact, and where nature is still largely untouched? Hoang Su Phi, Bac Quang, and Xin Man may sound unfamiliar to many, yet they are among Ha Giang’s most precious raw gems.

Each region offers distinctive experiences—along with the shared challenge of limited accessibility, which the new road project promises to transform entirely.

Hoang Su Phi – Terraced Rice Fields, Ethnic Culture & Trekking Paradise

Hoang Su Phi is renowned for its spectacular terraced rice fields, recognized as a National Special Heritage Site. It is also home to ethnic groups such as the Dao, H’Mong, Nung, and La Chi, offering travelers deep cultural immersion through festivals, daily life, and unique cuisine.

For trekking lovers, Hoang Su Phi is a paradise, with routes passing through remote villages and mountain ridges offering breathtaking panoramic views. However, access remains difficult, especially during the rainy season, with landslides and fog often extending travel time and increasing risks.

Bac Quang – The Strategic Gateway To The Highlands

Bac Quang serves as the strategic gateway to Ha Giang, often the first stop for travelers heading into the highlands. Its lively local markets reflect the region’s cultural diversity and agricultural richness.

For many motorbike travelers, Bac Quang is the last major supply point before venturing deeper into Hoang Su Phi or Xin Man. Yet limited road connectivity has prevented it from fully realizing its role as a regional hub—until now.

Xin Man – Raw Borderland Beauty & Authentic Rural Life

For those seeking a truly raw and authentic experience, Xin Man is the destination. Located near the border, it features towering limestone mountains, deep valleys, and remote villages largely untouched by mass tourism.

Here, nature feels pure, life moves slowly, and cultural authenticity remains strong. Yet this isolation also means long travel times, difficult roads, and limited services. With most residents relying on subsistence farming and only around 30% of inter-commune roads fully paved, Xin Man remains pristine—but challenging.
