    Dong Van Karst Plateau Geopark

    Today we cycled on semi-quiet streets as we made our way out of the dense cedar forest on the Dong Van rock plateau. It is a registered UNESCO Global Geopark with 80 percent of the terrain covered in rocks and is thought to contain fossils dating back 400-600 million years. The isolated Dong Van town is nestled in a valley in the heart of the Rock Plateau, close to the Chinese border and surrounded by colorful mountains and orchids. The meaning of Dong Dong Van shared culture was occupied by the Chinese, as well as the Hipmong, Tay, and Kinh. The houses are designed in the Chinese style.

    The scenery was breathtaking as we rode along a vast gorge on the dirt road from Dong Van to Meo Vac. The road is winding and undulating, with a view of the Nho Que River below. We look down into the valley from Ma Phi Leng pass, which is about 1500 meters above sea level. We’re staying in the small town of Meo Vac tonight. Because traveling to Meo Vac was nearly impossible until the construction of new roads recently, most of the tribes living here have protected their way of life from outside influences.

After a 5km ascent, we cycled 20km down the relatively flat road for the next 10km. The surrounding limestone formation landscape is mostly a surreal vista of peaks, troughs, towers, and caves. Crops and houses appear to dangle precariously from the sides of hills. We had a relatively gentle 250m climb before descending the final 30km on flat terrain.
