Dong Van is very attractive place with many rise fields and others unbelievable nature sights of mountains rivers waterfalls and many more, hotels are simple there but clean and all is very cheap for western people.

This was my first visit to Vietnam and I wanted to get off the beaten track. After seeing amazing pictures of the Dong Van karst plateau, I knew this was the place to visit. Though there were more tourists (both Vietnamese and foreigners) than expected, it was certainly a very special experience. The landscape gets very interesting soon after Ha Giang. The mountains / karst formations come in very different shapes, just stunning. We chose to do the tour by car, which is probably the most comfortable option on these winding roads. There is so much to see: mountains, the marvellous Ma Pi Leng pass, rice fields, idyllic villages and interesting towns + markets... The people were so wonderful. My favourite part of the trip was hiking and seeing villages and people + the landscapes in more detail than from the car. It was a very special experience.

We spent 3 days in Dong Van to visit some places as Quan Ba, Dong Van Town... route was not so long but it took much time due to wrist roads. We met a lot of local people on the way, beautiful countryside and lovely children. If you want to see Tam Gia Mach flower you should travel from Oct - Nov, weather is cool too...

It is a beautiful walk from Lao Chai to Ta Van, full of surprised. There are quite a few villagers trying to following you all the way from Lao Chai to Ta Van trying to sell something to you... don’t get offended. Also, there is only one tiny road for bikes and pedestrians, so watch out for the bikes.. but they always horning, so I guess it is quite safe. One of a good choice to spend half a day there.
