Restaurants and Drinking

Restaurants and drinking only available at the hotels/guesthouse. However, it’s very simple and poor menu for you to choose, just beer or cafe only.

Meals are with local food and very natural.

Hospital

There’s only local hospital in Ha Giang province and no high quality services are available there. So most of the case, you will be taken to Hanoi for treament. The basic medicine should bring toghether along you before coming here.
