New choice for the Tour de bike. Go ahead and take it! The place we made our trip named "Ha Giang - Rocky northcenter far" in Vietnam!
The northern province of Ha Giang developed with the migration of Hmong people who came from southern China about 300 years ago. natural environment of Ha Giang bears the same characteristics as other mountainous regions, that is an unfavorable climate all year round dry with little rain in the winter ground fog, and rocky soils of low fertility cut by innumerable streams. Because of transportation difficulties, the province has long been an isolated border region with little contact between the local ethnic minorities and provincial governments.
The landscape through the beautiful east coast, the steep mountain ranges covered with mystic clouds are travelers feel like wandering in a fairyland, valleys between mountains are enhanced by performances of colorful villages each with distinctive architectural features spots and fascinating to watch the sunset. If World Heritage was a point of access for cultural diversity, this would be it. There are about 20 ethnic minorities in the region. If lucky, or planned and the weekly market in Meo Vac is an opportunity to see this wonderful mix of cultures and peoples.
Motorcycle tour of North Central Vietnam is not an easy challenge though, to get there, through bamboo forests and cloud forests, where these ethnic minorities live sporadically, travel is difficult. Roads are being built and the field cycling is something wet, slippery mud to 1 m wide rough gravel mountain passes. If you are looking for an adventure that you know where to find it.
Those who came here will be surprised to see the exotic ethnic cultures which are characteristic local fairs. It is recommended that travelers have come to the New Year's Day will be when "Khen dance, music played with instruments made from leaves, folk songs, traditional corn liquor and weird custom of" stealing the fiancee always keep you surprised. The total distance is 1300 km, equivalent to 40-45 hours on a bike.
Of course, a visit to this place mototcycle is recommended. For some more useful information, you can spend www.voyagevietnam.net.
