O Quy Ho Pass

Located approximately 18 km from Sapa Rose Garden Resort, Ô Quy Hồ Pass is one of Vietnam’s legendary “Four Great Mountain Passes”, connecting Lào Cai and Lai Châu provinces. Rising over 2,000 meters above sea level, the pass is often referred to as the “King of Northwest Mountain Passes” thanks to its spectacular scenery and dramatic winding roads.

From the summit, visitors can enjoy breathtaking panoramic views of the Hoàng Liên Sơn mountain range, floating clouds, and deep valleys stretching endlessly into the distance. On clear days, a magnificent sea of clouds embraces the mountainsides, creating unforgettable landscapes, especially at sunrise and sunset.

Ô Quy Hồ Pass is not only renowned for its magnificent natural beauty but also for the fascinating legends and stories passed down through generations of local ethnic communities. It is an ideal destination for travelers who enjoy scenic drives, cloud hunting, photography, and discovering the majestic landscapes of Northwest Vietnam.

During your visit, you can easily combine your journey with nearby attractions such as Heaven Gate (Cổng Trời Ô Quy Hồ), Silver Waterfall (Thác Bạc), and Love Waterfall (Thác Tình Yêu), making for a memorable day surrounded by the beauty of Sa Pa’s mountains.
