Locally, Tonkin is known as Bac Ky, meaning "Northern Region". Located on the fertile delta of the Red River, Tonkin is not only rich in rice production but also in stunning sceneries. The ideal time to visit the region is August to January. In Autumn, the landscapes change every day: rice fields turn yellow, purple flowers start blooming and the occasional fog will make you feel wrapped up in cotton. “Surprising Tonkin” will take you to inevitable Sapa and lesser known Ha Giang province and Cao Bang province. Accompanied by a driver in the mountainous areas, you will be fully autonomous. No trail of visit imposed. Make this journey yours and leave the logistics to us! You will cross the path of Black H'Mong, Red Dao, Xa Pho, Tay and Zay people and discover stunning waterfalls, lakes and stair-like rice fields. Your journey will end on a high and relaxing note in Bai Tu Long Bay, as beautiful as its mother Halong Bay, if not more, but quieter and less touristic!
