Where is Tham Ma Slope? ๐Ÿ—บ๏ธ๐Ÿ›๏ธ

Tham Ma Slope, also known as the “Horse Testing Slope,” is one of the most beautiful and famous slopes along the Ha Giang exploration route. ๐Ÿ‡น๐Ÿ‡ณ Located on National Highway 4C, this slope belongs to Pho Cao Commune, Dong Van District โ€“ the first gateway leading to the majestic rocky plateau. ๐ŸŒณโ›ฐ๏ธ

With its soft curves winding through nine challenging bends ๐Ÿ›ฃ๏ธ, Tham Ma Slope has become a must-visit destination for adventurers ๐Ÿ›ต๏ธ conquering Ha Giang. From milestone 0 (Ha Giang City), it takes about 105 km and 3 hours โณ to reach this iconic location.

Tham Ma Slope is also part of the journey to discover other famous landmarks such as:

  • โœจ Quan Ba Heaven Gate
  • โญ Twin Mountains (Fairy Bosom)
  • ๐Ÿก The House of Pao
  • ๐Ÿฐ The Hmong Kingโ€™s Palace
  • ๐ŸŒ Lung Cu Flag Tower
  • ๐ŸŒ„ Ma Pi Leng Pass
  • โ›ฐ๏ธ Tu San Canyon

Tham Ma Slope โ€“ The Story Behind Its Name ๐ŸŒ‹๐ŸŽ

A Challenge for the Strongest Horses ๐ŸŽโšก

Before the Happy Road (National Highway 4C) existed, the primary mode of transportation for the local people was packhorses. ๐ŸŒฒ These horses not only carried goods but also played an essential role in the daily lives of ethnic minorities. ๐Ÿก

Tham Ma Slope served as a test of endurance for these horses on their journey from lowlands to the Dong Van plateau. ๐Ÿ›๏ธ Horses that could ascend this long, steep, winding slope while remaining strong were kept for transporting goods. ๐Ÿšš๐Ÿ  Meanwhile, those that failed were usually eliminated and often used as ingredients for thang co, a traditional dish of the Hmong people. ๐Ÿฒ

This process of “evaluating” the horsesโ€™ strength gave rise to the name Tham Ma Slope:

  • “Tham” means to assess, evaluate. ๐ŸŒŽ
  • “Ma” means horse (in Sino-Vietnamese). ๐ŸŽ

Tham Ma Slope Today โ€“ A Challenge for Adventurous Souls ๐Ÿ๏ธโ›ฐ๏ธ

Today, Tham Ma Slope is not just a legend tied to horse endurance but also a challenge for adventurers who love exploring. ๐ŸŒ‹ With its steep incline and sharp curves, it demands excellent driving skills to navigate safely. ๐Ÿšš

From the summit of the slope, you can enjoy breathtaking views:

  • ๐ŸŒณ Endless mountain ranges
  • ๐Ÿก Small villages nestled on the hillsides
  • ๐ŸŒ„ Scenic winding roads that look like paintings
