Why choose riverside camping on the Nho Quế River (Hà Giang)?
Hà Giang boasts an array of majestic landscapes such as Tu San alley, Tham Ma slope, Dong Van rocky plateau, Ma Pi Leng pass, Lung Cu flagpole, and the renowned Nho Que River. Camping along the banks of the Nho Que River offers a captivating view of the winding Ma Pi Leng pass, adorned with picturesque hills and the full beauty of the river.
This is why my friend Lai Quynh highly recommends camping along the Nho Que River as one of the 'must-try' activities during the 4-day-3-night exploration of Hà Giang with your group of friends.

Getting to the camping area along the Nho Que River
Camping services along the river are still relatively new in Hà Giang, not well-known among many travelers. As the rainy season has passed, camping activities have become more convenient. Lai Quynh shares, 'So far, it seems that only Mr. Quan's house has a camping area here. Therefore, if you want to book, contact Mr. Quan at the phone number 0396226225.'
'When taking a boat tour on the Nho Que River, in the Tu San alley, you'll see Mr. Quan's camping area right by the riverbank. Park your overnight-stay vehicle, bring your belongings, and enjoy the boat ride. On the way back, just instruct the boatmen to drop you off at Mr. Quan's camping spot, everyone knows it,' says Lai Quynh. Mr. Quan also offers boat tours to explore the Nho Que River, so everyone in the area knows each other.
What's the camping experience like along the Nho Que River?
Regarding the space:
A prime location to admire Tu San alley. Just imagine, waking up in the morning, alone amidst the vast mountains and forests, on one side a field of buckwheat flowers, on the other, the majestic mountains of Tu San alley looming under the mist, in front of you, a river as green as jade. You'll undoubtedly feel like you're in paradise. There's a tent area here, prepared by Mr. Quan and his team, with 2 shared bathrooms, and a space to sit, eat, and enjoy the river view.

About the food at the camping site along the Nho Que River:
The BBQ dinner menu is quite diverse, including beef, chicken, fish, 3 types of meat, intestines, young bamboo shoots, snails, sticky rice, and dessert with fruits. Since Quynh's group arrived at the camping site along the Nho Que River quite late, the food wasn't hot anymore, but every dish seasoned with spices was still delicious. Especially noteworthy are the grilled ribs and grilled young bamboo shoots and intestines. For breakfast, Quynh's group ordered instant noodles with eggs and traditional Vietnamese drip coffee.

Activities around the Camping area along the Nho Que River
'After breakfast, we went down to take a boat ride for sightseeing. This boat belongs to Mr. Quan. If he has a group of visitors touring the Nho Que River, he will bring them to this boat for photos. Since we were camping there, we spent the whole morning lounging around. Luckily, we went on a weekday, so there weren't many visitors. Also, because not many people know about this camping activity yet, our group was the only one staying at the camp that night. In the morning, it was just us, enjoying all the services here, so it was quite comfortable. Right next to the campsite is a forest area where buckwheat flowers are planted. We went when the flowers were white, and in 1-2 weeks, they will turn pink, making it a beautiful photo spot.'

'Mr. Quan just started the camping site along the Nho Que River two months ago, so it's still a work in progress. When you visit, you can contribute more ideas; Mr. Quy is very nice and always open to suggestions,' shared Quynh.
