From Hanoi or Ha Giang city, you can rent a quality motorbike with the price of about 10USD per day and start your own trip to the true heaven on earth in Northern Vietnam. Normally, to the loop by car or motorbike, it takes at least 3 days 2 nights. The best time for a loop or trekking tour is in the dry season from November to March.
In particular, Hoang Su Phi is a remote district located in the west of Ha Giang city, so this place takes 2 days for a seperate trip. The best time for Hoang Su Phi is in late September when the rice terraced fields are filled up with shiny yellow color.
The best way for a rich experience is via motorbike tour. At some stopovers like Quan Ba, Yen Minh, Dong Van, Ha Giang trekking or hiking tours are suitable and much more amazing with a local guide.
