Hà Giang, Mountainous province in northeastern Vietnam.

The territory spans 7,927 square kilometers of limestone formations and deep valleys, with elevations reaching 2,419 meters at Tây Côn Lĩnh peak.

The French military established a strategic outpost in 1891, leading to the formation of Ha Giang province during the colonial period.

The region contains 22 ethnic groups, including Mông, Tày, and Dao populations, each maintaining distinct languages and traditional practices across mountain settlements.

Highway 2 connects the provincial capital to Hanoi at a distance of 320 kilometers, with additional border crossings to China at Thanh Thủy and Phó Bảng.

The Dong Van Karst Plateau features extensive limestone formations and agricultural terraces where farmers cultivate crops at high altitudes.
