KM 0 Milestone

(Cột mốc Km0)

This stone is so familiar to people in Ha Giang but so attractive to visitours coming here. For this is the “head” of Vietnam, every visitour can not help but take a picture with it, touch it, or just have some proof of their presence here.

Address : Highway 2, Nguyen Trai precinct, Ha Giang.

The Statue of President Ho Chi Minh

(Tượng đài Hồ Chủ tịch và đồng bào Hà Giang)

Built on February 24, 2005 and finished on August 28, the statue was a great construction of Ha Giang people to honor Vietnamese greatest leaders. It includes many statues of Uncle Ho’s fellows standing around for memorizing the time he spent with Ha Giang people, and the affair among them. It was inaugurated on September 1, 2005 right one day before Vietnamese National Day and became one of the most attractive places for tourists since then.

Address : 26/3 Square, Ha Giang.

The Forbidden Mountain

(Cấm Sơn)

Considered to be the spirit of Ha Giang city, The Forbidden Mountain is truly a wonder in many marvelous gifts from the nature. The mountain is craggy on one side with many stone caves and high cliffs, and the other side is filled with soil and towns. Even the natives do not know everything about this mountain for the roughness of the way up, plus there used to be none but one path to follow to the top, but many visitours cannot resist the temptation of its mystery and as the tourism activities are continuously developed in Ha Giang, it gets much easier to walk here. Moreover, this place has the history of many battles in Vietnam, from even feudalism to Vietnam war, around 1950s. There are still many tunnels and bunker systems made by French there. The natives even built a small pagoga to honor the dead soldiers and pray for the salvation of their souls and this has created a very holy atmosphere to the mountain.

Mau Temple

(Đền Mẫu – Cấm Sơn Linh Từ)

This is a sacred temple, usually known as Cam Son Linh Tu ( Temple of the Forbidden Mountain) but not built on the mountain. Here people worship three Goddesses : Mau Lieu, Mau Thuong Ngan, Mau Thuy. They built it in late XVIII century and still kept two bronze bells for over 100 years. There used to be a small joss house near this place called Tran temple where they worship the great National hero Tran Hung Dao, but in 1947, it was joined together with Mau Temple. This temple is not simply the place where people come to pray for fortune and wealth, but the place where people often hold many traditional festivals.

Address : Nguyen Trai precinct.
