The northern stony mountain region lies in the north with temperate climate. This region has two seasons a year rainy and dry with the average temperature of about 24-280C. Sometimes it falls to 50C below zero in winter. The western soil mountain region in the block of the upper stream of the Chay River is large with narrow valleys and springs. The low region consists of hills, home to Ha Giang Township with the annual average temperature of 21-230C.



The mountains and forests cover almost all the area of Ha Giang. The primitive forests have many medicinal herbs and rare, scarce animals, which make the province an ideal place for eco-tourism. Ha Giang also has other tourist attractions such as charming, superb Dong Van Plateau, attractive Khau Vai Love Market.
