Du Gia is located in Yen Minh District, about 70 km from Ha Giang City. While it’s accessible by road, the best way to experience it is as part of the Ha Giang Loop — typically on Day 3 or Day 4 of a multi-day motorbike tour.
The ride into Du Gia is spectacular, with roads winding past limestone peaks, bamboo forests, and villages of the Tay and H’mong ethnic groups.
Du Gia’s rice terraces are among the most photogenic in Ha Giang. Depending on the time of year:
May–June: Water-filled terraces reflecting the sky
September–October: Golden harvest season
November–April: Green valley landscapes with cool mountain air
These terraces are not just for show — they are the lifeblood of the Tay people, who have farmed here for generations.
The village’s waterfall is one of the highlights of the Loop. Located just 2 km from the center, it’s a perfect spot to cool off after a long ride. The natural pool is deep enough for a swim, and the surrounding forest makes it feel like your own private paradise.
With Mikey Tour, you can enjoy a relaxing afternoon here, complete with a picnic or simply floating under the mountain sun.
Staying in Du Gia means living with local families in traditional Tay stilt houses. Here’s what to expect:
Comfortable beds with mosquito nets
Home-cooked meals using fresh local produce
Evenings around a bonfire with "happy water" (rice wine)
Cultural exchange through stories, music, and shared laughter
