As there are more and more people traveling to Y Ty, so I would like to
rewrite a guide for you about how to get to Y Ty from Lao Cai town. As you
already know, there are 3 roads from Lao Cai to Y Ty, all start from Ban Vuoc.
1. Road from Lao Cai city to Ban Vuoc: (Photo 2) - The blue line is
the new road, avoiding Bat Xat town so it is pretty clear.
- The gray road goes through Bat Xat town.
Note: Both roads are speed controlled so you must be very careful.
2. Road from Ban Vuoc to Y Ty:
2.1. The first road: (Photo 3)
In photo 2 is the road in blue, passing through Muong Vi, Ban Xeo, Muong Hum,
Den Sang, Y Ty. Distance 51.2 km. Currently it is the shortest and easiest road.
2.2. The second road: (Photo 3)
In photo 2 is the road in gray, passing through Trinh Tuong, A Mu Sung, A Lu,
Ngai Thau, Y Ty. Distance 72 km. This road is the longest, however, you should
take this road in order to visit Lung Po flagpole.
2.3. Third road: (Photo 4)
In photo 3 is the blue road, passing through Trinh Tuong, Phin Ho, Y Ty.
Distance 52.2 km. This road has been upgraded and expanded for about 3 years
now. The first part is quite flat, with few slopes, the second part has
continuous sharp curves, really nice to drive.
Note:
- Overall photo of all 3 roads for your visualization:
- You should take the second road to turn to visit Lung Po flagpole and the
river junction, "where the Red River flows into Vietnam".
- For the return you should take the first road to turn to visit Thac Do (Red
waterfall).
