O Quy Ho Pass
Known as one of the four great mountain passes of Northwest tourism, O Quy Ho Pass, also called Hoang Lien Pass or Cloud Pass, is a destination that every traveler desires to conquer at least once. O Quy Ho Pass is considered a significant route connecting the provinces of Lao Cai and Lai Chau, holding the record for the longest mountain pass in the Northwest region with a length of nearly 50 kilometers. Its height, challenges, and length have earned it the title of the “king of mountain passes in the Northwest region.”
