Meo Vac Town is located in the heart of the Dong Van Rock Plateau, which was designated as a part of the Global Geo-Park Network in 2009. The Dong Van old quarter is home to age old and unique architecture near the border of Ha Giang Province with China. As a result, for motorcyclists, the Motorbike tour to Ha Giang, Dong Van is always the best option.
