HA GIANG is Vietnam's northernmost province. It borders China and is home to several ethnic groups, including the Hmong, the Tai and the LoLoa (Yi). It is quite accissible these days, though still signicantly less visited than the area around Sapa.

Hello Benny,
I have seen this road before, but this photo is better thanks to the lorry and the motor-biker. The curves are fantastic, and the grey road in these green surroundings looks great,
Regards,
Gert

Hello Benny,

it looks a hard place to drive. To me it looks more like a 8 than a S, amazing! and you capture it very well in the frame.

Well done.

Salut Benny,
Excellent ce cadrage avec ce grand "S", bien cadré, bon contraste et très bien avec ces détails, camion et moto, pour animer la vue, jolie lumière.

Dag Benny,
Genoeg slingerende wegen in Vietnam heb ik ook gemerkt. Mooie S-shape in het groen hier.
Groet, Gerrit

Hi Benny
Well-spotted opportunity to take a very graphic photo. Great timing to include the truck that makes for very good foreground interest and also the motorbike in the distance.
Useful note too, as I've been thinking of going there rather than Sapa when I one day go to Vietnam.
Best wishes
Kasia

Hello Benny
The interesting curve of the road. Nicely presented. Excellent sharpness and nice green colour. It is close to Yunnan - the most beautiful Chinese province. great composition.

Kind regards Malgo

Hallo Benny,
Mooi hoe de weg hier een grote S van grijs asfalt dwars door de groene heuvel vormt. Je timing was uitstekend met de motorfiets en de vrachtwagen.

Nice shot. The snaking of the road is the big draw; then there's the interesting correspondance between the truck and the biker. The whole decisively framed.
