Ha Giang Loop. Tour with a local experience.

Baiyue Tours is the perfect mix of tourism and local Life. You will enjoy the beauty of the Loop while you discover the true and traditional Vietnam.

Forget about the tours with 10 or 12 peoples and a guide only here to tell you when to eat and when to go. If your travel with Baiyue Tours, you’ll be guided by local peoples driven by the goal to let you discover the Vietnam through its traditions and history.

Beyond the Ha Giang Loop

We have created a unique slow-travel program for travellers who want to go beyond the classic Ha Giang Loop—an experience that allows you to slow down, immerse yourself, and truly feel the essence of the Dong Van Karst Plateau. 

Our program was started every Sunday morning

Instead of racing from point to point, our program enables travellers to:

Stay longer, discover deeper: Longer stays at selected villages and geological sites let you explore the landscape and its history at your own pace.

Authentic local experiences: Meet artisans, join family meals, attend local events, and learn traditional crafts and agricultural practices.

Guided geological and cultural walks: Small-group, low-impact walks led by local guides and geologists bring the geopark’s 400+ million–year story to life.

Sustainable choices: We prioritize homestays, family-run eateries, and low-emission transport to support local livelihoods and reduce tourism’s footprint.

Ha Giang is renowned for its breathtaking landscapes, ancient cultural heritage, and the impressive rugged beauty of the Dong Van Karst Plateau. In recent years, tourism has increased rapidly, earning the province recognition as Asia’s Leading Cultural Destination.

But behind those postcard-perfect views lies a reality that many visitors never see.
Large tour companies have entered the region, prioritizing profit over preservation. Mass-market group tours—often with 20, 30, even 50 people on motorbikes of Easyriders (local young boys with lack of education, their indigenous knowledge, and driving at a speed, called “reckless”) — rush through Ha Giang’s winding roads. They stop briefly at crowded “must-see” viewpoints, snap photos, and leave. These visitors pass through like a storm: loud, fast, and gone in an instant—leaving little positive impact behind.

Is the Ha Giang Loop A Tsunami Washing Everything Away?
- Not quite!

The Dong Van Karst Plateau Geopark remains a vast cultural and geological treasure—a place shaped over 400 million years, home to over 20 ethnic groups whose traditions have survived since ancient times. This richness cannot be erased

GREAT TEA FROM ANCESTOR TREES

Some of the best tea production areas in Vietnam are found in Hà Giang Province 

Ha Giang Province stretches from the mountain range of West Con Linh to the Chinese border. It contains some of the most ancient and precious Shan Tuyet tea trees on earth. Tragically, the largest plantation tea trees have been cut down, however, the remaining ancient trees can still be 1000 to 3000 years old.

Cao Bo village has a total of nearly 1,000 ha of ancient Shan Tuyet Tea tree.  The leaves from these trees are used to produce the famous Trà ông lam (in vietnamese) or pu-erh tea (in chinese). Since 2011, Cao Bo tea products have been recognised as organic products by the International Federation of Organic Agriculture Movements (IFOAM). 

"I have travelled across 120 countries which have tea trees in the world but I’ve not seen anywhere there are perennial tea trees like Shan Tuyet tea. Whether this is the place where the tea tree came from--the tea here is unique. In the bowl of green tea there are all the 18 tastes of the top tea types in the world," Academic of the USSR Academy of Sciences – Mr. MK Djemukhatze, writing in the visitor’s book of Suoi Giang in 1960. 

Mr Djemukhatze researched tea plants of Northern Vietnam and published a book about them in 1976. The results of this research confirmed that the tea trees in the Ha Giang Province are original ancestor trees. The recognition of their status as an important element of the natural heritage of Vietnam contributes to the protection of this valuable genetic resource. 

TRÀ ỐNG LAM ( in VIETNAMESE) or PU-ERH TEA (in CHINESE) 

The tea is made from the leaves and stems of the Shan Tuyet tree. This is the same tree that is used for making green, oolong, and black teas. The various teas are made by using different processes: green tea is not fermented, oolong tea is partially fermented, black tea is fully fermented, and Pu-erh tea is post-fermented. This means the processing of Pu-erh tea includes both fermentation and prolonged storage, or “aging,”, in high humidity conditions. Pu-erh tea that is aged for a longer period of time tastes better. Pu-erh tea is valued for its medicinal properties and drinking it is said to improve mental alertness and reduce high cholesterol.
