THE DETAILS THAT MAKE A DIFFERENCE
Right place. Right bus. Better start.
Leaving Ha Giang
Ha Giang is the starting point for the Ha Giang Loop in Vietnam's far north. Buses from Hanoi take most of a day or run overnight, and many sleeper and limousine companies drop at hotels and hostels in town.
- Ha Giang Bus Station · Bến xe Hà Giang
About 2 km south of the town centre. Long-distance and regional services.
Arriving in Hanoi
A ticket that says “Hanoi” may end at a terminal well outside the Old Quarter. If you booked with a tourist company, check whether it drops at its own office or offers a shuttle; otherwise allow time and a taxi or ride-hail fare into the centre.
- My Dinh Bus Station · Bến xe Mỹ Đình
West of the centre. Many routes to the north-west and the mountains, including Lao Cai, Sapa and Ha Giang. - Giap Bat Bus Station · Bến xe Giáp Bát
South of the centre. Public buses to the south, such as Ninh Binh, Thanh Hoa and central Vietnam. - Gia Lam Bus Station · Bến xe Gia Lâm
Across the Red River to the north-east. Buses towards Hai Phong, Ha Long and the north-east. - Nuoc Ngam and Yen Nghia stations · Bến xe Nước Ngầm, Yên Nghĩa
Smaller southern and south-western terminals, used by some routes towards Hoa Binh and Mai Chau.
Keep the essentials offline
Save your ticket, the exact meeting point and the operator's phone number before you set off. Follow the check-in time on your confirmation.
- Check which terminal your ticket uses: the four stations are far apart.
- Some services from the mountains have dropped passengers on the western outskirts. Confirm the final stop when you book.
- Noi Bai Airport has its own direct buses to several destinations, so you may not need to go into the city first.
