O Quy Ho pass, Vietnam


O Quy Ho is one of longest, most beautiful mountain passes in Vietnam. It is called a bridge between Lao Cai and Sa Pa provinces.


A 50 kim long road that runs around Hoang Lien Son Range, between the northern provinces of Lao Cai and Lai Chau, is a must visit for local and international tourists who love adventure.



Its official name, O Quy Ho, is said to have come the mythical bird that used to live in this area. Rent a motorbike downtown, and head to Bac Waterfall, some 12 kilometers to the west of town's center.


Standing more than 2,000 meters above sea level, tourists see its top covered with white clouds almost all year round, hence its poetic name "the Cloudy Mountain Pass".



Since two third is in Lai Chau Province and the rest in Sa Pa Province, tourists can feel changes of climate when travelling along the pass.
