Ma Pi Leng Skywalk viewpoint
Views down to Tu San Canyon

Ma Pi Leng (Mã Pí Lèng) is the highlight of the Ha Giang Loop. The road was carved by hand into the mountainside in the 1960s, and today it offers jaw-dropping views of the Nho Que River winding through the canyon hundreds of metres below.

Tips

Stop at the official viewpoints only; the road is narrow.
Pair it with a boat trip on the Nho Que River.
