Located in the north of the country, Ha Giang province is most renowned for its mountainous terrain and the pristine beauty of its landscapes in stone plateaus which can be found across Quang Ba, Yen Minh, Dong Van, and Meo Vac districts. The region is also famous for being home to groups of friendly young children.

The smiles on the faces of local children shows their shyness and innocence whilst ultimately serving to brighten up the mountainous area.

Ha Giang province is largely inhabited by ethnic minorities, including the H’Mong, Thai, Lo Lo, and La Chi.

The northern mountainous province always serves as an attractive destination that both local and foreign tourists can come to enjoy, especially young people.

Local ethnic girls show off their traditional outfits. They still have to work to collect flowers and to help their families during the harvest season.
