The weather in Cao Bằng province during this season is often cool, with little rain, gentle sun during the day, and cool at night.

From May to July is summer, with an average temperature of approximately 23°C to 30°C. This is the rainy season, especially in June and July, where rain often lasts for a long time and sometimes brings thunderstorms. However, the scenery during this season is very lush and green, Ban Gioc Waterfall and the lakes are full, and the landscape becomes vibrant. If you choose this season, please monitor the weather frequently to avoid days with heavy rain!

Cao Bằng is a truly exceptional destination, blessed with both dramatic, natural beauty and profound historical depth.
For those seeking adventure, the region features spectacular mountain roads, including the famous 13-Story Pass (Đèo 13 Tầng)—a breathtaking sight that ignites the spirit of exploration as it winds down the mountainside. This 'Land of Water and Mountains' (non nước) is fed by an abundant system of pristine streams.
A must-see is Lenin Stream, renowned for its mesmerizing, rare jade-blue water. Its natural beauty is matched only by its historical significance, as it famously served as a crucial revolutionary base where President Hồ Chí Minh once lived and worked. Prepare to be inspired by nature and history coexisting here.

You'll quickly adapt to the rhythm of the road, and the breathtaking scenery will certainly distract you from any fatigue!

Cao Bang's terrain is relatively flatter than Ha Giang. Generally, apart from a few steep mountain pass sections, driving in Cao Bang is quite easy. If you have plenty of motorbike driving experience, you can absolutely self-drive, and we will lead the way for you.
The two provinces are very different. Although they are adjacent on the map of Vietnam, Ha Giang and Cao Bằng possess clear differences in landscape, culture, and people.
The terrain in Ha Giang is characterized by towering mountains and deep gorges, resulting in a majestic and grand beauty. Ha Giang's population is also sparser due to its geographical features, with ethnic communities mostly scattered across the mountain ranges.
In contrast, Cao Bằng has a similar altitude but is flatter and more expansive, featuring many small grasslands and valleys, surrounded by numerous streams and rivers. This creates a poetic and romantic beauty, which Vietnamese people affectionately call 'Non Nước Cao Bằng' (The Land of Water and Mountains)
