This 20-kilometre stretch, part of the renowned Happiness Road, links Ha Giang City, Dong Van, and Meo Vac town. 

As you navigate the winding route, the trip brings a mesmerizing panorama of rugged cliffs, green valleys, and the emerald-green waters of the Nho Que River, which cuts through a dramatic abyss below. A designated rest area along the pass allows you to pause, capture gorgeous views, and immerse yourself in the grandeur of Dong Van Karst Plateau, a UNESCO Global Geopark.

You will kick off Day 4 at Du Gia, a beautiful village located in a picturesque valley adorned with expansive rice paddies, sprawling cornfields, and majestic high mountains that seem to touch the clouds. The scenery is extremely beautiful as you move past traditional houses with wooden walls and roofs, their courtyards filled with neatly stacked bundles of firewood, all enclosed by rustic stone fences.

Your first highlight of today’s itinerary is Du Gia Waterfall, where clear, cool water cascades across rocky streams of varying sizes, creating a tranquil oasis amidst the greenery. The waterfall, originating from deep within the pristine forests, presents a refreshing break, with its serene atmosphere leaving you rejuvenated.

As the trip continues, you will traverse via lots of curves and bends on Duong Thuong and Khe Mang roads in exchange for awe-inspiring views.
