Ma Pi Leng Pass is beautiful and majestic in the eyes of Westerners
Besides O Quy Ho pass (connecting Lao Cai and Lai Chau), Pha Din pass (connecting Son La and dien Bien), Khau Pha pass (Yen Bai), Ma Pi Leng is one of the famous "Four Great Pass Passes" the language of the northern mountainous provinces of Vietnam, is also a destination many foreigners want to explore and conquer.
Ma Pi Leng pass belongs to Dong Van plateau, located on the road of Happiness, connecting Meo Vac town with Ha Giang city. The route is hidden with many "difficult" challenges, squeezing on the winding side of Nho Que River, attracting many domestic and foreign adventurers to challenge themselves.
The rugged road is 20 km long, spanning 3 communes of Meo Vac district, considered the most rugged mountain pass in Vietnam today. Overcoming many kilometers of bends to the stop, visitors seem to want to burst into the space of majestic mountains and forests, feeling like "touching the happiness" as the name given to the road.
