Nho Que river-the vein of Ha Giang province

It must be a mistake if you do not visit Nho Que river in your trip to Ha Giang. The river starts in Yunnan, China and comes to meet the land of Vietnam at Seo Lung village, Lung Cu commune of Ha Giang province to continue its journey to other places. However, the most stunning landscape of the river in Vietnam belongs to its starting points where there is Tu San alley.
