2025 Quan Ba District Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in April)

#wecreate Hello everyone, today I want to tell you about my awesome visit to the Quan Ba Heaven Gate, a stunning and scenic spot in Vietnam. I visited this place last year during a few days scooter trip. The Quan Ba Heaven Gate is located in the Quan Ba District, in the Ha Giang Province. It’s a mountain pass that offers a spectacular view of the Quan Ba Valley and the Twin Mountains. To get there, I rented a scooter from Ha Giang City and drove for about 45 kilometers. The drive was fun and adventurous, with many curves and slopes. The scenery was also breathtaking, with green hills, rice terraces, and colorful flowers. When I arrived at the Quan Ba Heaven Gate, I was greeted by a sign that said “Welcome to Heaven”. I felt like I had entered a paradise. I parked my scooter and walked to the viewpoint, where I saw the Quan Ba Valley and the Twin Mountains. The valley was like a painting, with green fields, blue rivers, and white clouds. The Twin Mountains were like two breasts, rising from the valley. They were also called the Fairy Mountains, because of a legend that said they were formed by the breasts of a fairy who fell in love with a mortal. I was mesmerized by the view and took many photos. I also had a coffee at Yen Ngoc, a small cafe near the viewpoint. The coffee was delicious and the staff was friendly. I enjoyed the coffee and the view at the same time. The Quan Ba Heaven Gate is a wonderful place to visit for anyone who loves nature and adventure. #tripblazers #mytripvlog #本地遊 #foodie #coffee #awesomepic #vietnam

Day 4 of motorbiking through Northern Vietnam with peeps I only met a few days prior: We made it!! The first 2 hour stretch was the most dangerous by far - unpaved roads, super rocky patches I struggled to get through, and this crazy bridge that was literally just wooden planks tied together and suspended over a river (with some gaps from missing planks no less). To top it all off we did this in pouring rain (at one point I fell into a ditch bc there was so much water in it I couldn’t tell it was more than just a shallow puddle) and blinding fog. 🥴🥴 I crashed more times than I can count due to sheer exhaustion and honestly didn’t know if I’d make it to the end BUT ya girl did it!!! I just wanna reiterate that the Ha Giang loop is worth it but it *definitely* is dangerous. If you decide to make the trip, make sure to take all the precautions! #roadtrip#summervacation#hikingtrails#urbanexplorer

#JanuaryGoodPlaces2025 Ta Van Village Tafan Village is another ethnic minority village in the Sapa area, mainly inhabited by the Yao and Dai ethnic groups. The village is surrounded by terraced fields and bamboo forests, and the environment is quiet. Visitors can experience farm life here, participate in traditional farming activities, and taste authentic ethnic minority cuisine. Tafan Village is a good place to get away from the hustle and bustle and return to nature.

💞Reasons to Recommend: Amazing viewpoint

Northern Vietnam is ideal for a motorbike trip, especially in Ha Giang. This province offers one of the most thrilling and scenic adventures we’ve ever experienced. With its rugged mountains, winding roads, and stunning terraced rice fields, Ha Giang truly has it all. Ha Giang is beautiful year-round, particularly in early spring (when the flowers bloom!) and mid-autumn (with golden rice fields). Though we couldn’t visit during the peak season, the roads were still breathtaking. Recommended highlights: Quan Ba Heaven Gate & Twin Mountains, Dong Van Karst Plateau Geopark, Lung Cu Flag Tower, Ma Pi Leng Pass, Hoang Su Phi Rice Terraces, and Meo Vac. How to get there: The most common way is to take a bus to Ha Giang City, where you can rent a motorbike. (Some rent bikes from Hanoi, but that makes the trip too long!) #motortravel

#traveldiaries Quan Ba Heaven Gate, located about 50 kilometers from Ha Giang City, offers one of the most jaw-dropping panoramic views in the region. The climb to the gate is steep, but once you reach the top, you’ll be rewarded with views of the stunning Tam Son Valley and the famous “Fairy Bosom” twin mountains. The legend of the twin mountains adds a layer of mystique to the natural beauty of the area. Quan Ba Heaven Gate is also known as the entrance to the Dong Van Karst Plateau, making it a pivotal stop on any Ha Giang adventure. For travelers seeking awe-inspiring vistas and a connection to the mystical stories of Vietnam, this destination will be a memorable addition to your #traveldiaries.

#vietnamtrip This viewing point is good for taking photos. On the background, you can see the rice fields - flat and terraced, the hills and the silhouettes of the mountains farther behind, the road that snakes around the valleys, the blue skies and clouds. I learned a lot about this Geopark from the sign board, it's such an interesting and diverse place worthy of UNESCO's acknowledgment. There's also a cafe to get drinks and take a rest before exploring the rest of the loop.
