Ma Pi Leng

Ma Pi Leng

Ma Pi Leng Pass, known among many tourists and backpackers as one of the "four great mountain passes" in the northern mountains of Vietnam, alongside O Quy Ho Pass, Khau Pha Pass, and Pha Din Pass.

Located on Highway 4C in the area of Pai Lung and Pa Vi communes, Meo Vac district, Ha Giang province, Ma Pi Leng Pass spans about 20km and crosses over the peak of Ma Pi Leng, hence its name. The pass is part of the Happiness Road that connects Ha Giang City, Dong Van, and Meo Vac town.

Ma Pi Leng mean "horse's nose" in the language of the Hmong ethnic group. Some interpret this name figuratively to describe the extreme difficulty of the mountain pass, where the steep slopes are so challenging that even a horse would hold its breath, or the mountain peak stands tall like a horse's nose.
