Nho Que River
A poem of wilderness
Starting from Nghiem Son Mountain in China, the Nho Que River elegantly carves its path through Ha Giang province, culminating its 192km journey in Cao Bang province.
Tourists can enjoy breathtaking views of this picturesque river from Ma Pi Leng Pass or opt for a boat ride along the river for a more immersive experience. For an unparalleled vantage point of the river and a perfect spot to relax, visitors can head to the Panorama Bar afterward. These two locations are particularly stunning on sunny days, especially in November.

For the adventurous types, trekking is another popular option. Once at the river, you can take a boat ride to capture stunning photographs as you approach Tu San Canyon, and adventurous souls can also try their hand at kayaking. If you enjoy sunbathing on the boat, be sure to wear a hat and generously apply sunscreen. Packing some light snacks before returning to Ma Pi Leng Pass is also advisable.
