Dong Van Plateau is the most unique and unusual place in Vietnam and this was the last place in the country open to tourism. The area is last part of the border region in Vietnam which still had conflicts in the early 1990s.

The most remarkable feature of the Dong Van Plateau is that some 80% of the surface is rock which has the sheer colors ranging from gray to black! And most of the terrain of the Dong Van Plateau is from 1,400m to 1,600m!

2/ Dong Van Market (Sunday morning only)

It is colorful and exotic! The colors, the smells, the way people interact with one another… you name it! It is best visited between 06:00 A.M and 09:00 A.M when it is most live.

3/ The Ma Pi Leng Pass and the Tu San Canyon

The site takes your breaths away! You’ll adore and pay respect to those who made the path by carving into the rock using their hands and simple tools. You will be dumbfounded by the scene of 2,000m peaks competing for height by the deepest canyon in the country!
