Not only stopping at photos or videos, many foreign tourists also carve rings and tattoo images to preserve memories after the journey to conquer Ha Giang Loop.

Among countless memories in the journey to explore famous landmarks in Vietnam, British female tourist Levi McKay chose a very unique way to keep her mark with friends in Ha Giang when choosing to engrave the license plate of the car that accompanied her on the Ha Giang Loop conquest on a ring.

Not just simply a jewelry item, the ring has become a souvenir reminiscent of a special journey in the Northeast mountains and forests.

Levi said she came to Ha Giang in February with friends and was quickly overwhelmed by the beauty here. "The scenery is truly spectacular and completely different from any place I have ever seen before," she expressed.

For Levi, the trip is not only about enjoying the majestic scenery but also an opportunity to connect when thanks to this trip, she has met many tourists and locals, enjoyed a full emotional experience with new friends and memorable encounters.

Although Ha Giang is famous for its dangerous and dangerous roads, Levi said she still feels quite secure throughout the journey when accompanying a young and experienced driver who has conquered this road many times.

However, the trip did not lack moments that made the British female tourist's heart skip a beat, especially when passing through dangerous roads or witnessing a car accident on the hillside. Despite the stressful moments, those experiences were still under control and even contributed to making the journey more attractive and memorable.

It was these intense emotional experiences that made Levi choose a unique way to preserve memories. Instead of familiar forms such as taking photos or buying souvenirs, she decided to make a ring herself at a jewelry store in Hanoi.

I made that ring myself and chose to engrave the license plate. I want to have an item to remind me of this wonderful trip as well as to share this memorable trip with my family and friends.

For me, it's not just an ordinary piece of jewelry, but a story I carry with me. Every time I look at it, I remember the memorable journey in Vietnam," she shared.

This trip of the female tourist did not stop at Ha Giang. She has visited many famous landmarks such as: Hanoi, Ninh Binh, Phong Nha, Hue, Hoi An or Ho Chi Minh City. However, she believes that Ha Giang Loop still "touches" the emotions of many foreign tourists with its rustic, simple but attractive beauty, creating experiences that are hard to compare to anywhere else, even when placed next to Hai Van Pass.

According to her, it is the friendliness of local people and unique experiences in culture that have contributed to creating a complete and memorable journey in Vietnam.
