Our Story
The story of Baiyue Tours began years before the travel agency even existed. It grew out of the Baiyue Tea Society Education Program, which focuses on providing education in entrepreneurial skills, English, and sustainable business practices to young individuals in the greater Ha Giang community. In order to make a living, a number of former students have needed to get jobs with tour companies that do not practice ethical or sustainable tourism within the region. The program was formed as direct response, giving indigenous tribes (students and other guides) fair wages, safety, and full dignity.
At Baiyue Tours, we specialize in providing unique and immersive travel experiences that allow you to explore the rich culture and breathtaking landscapes of Ha Giang province.
Wherever possible, Baiyue Tours aims to foster small-scale, sustainable initiatives that build capacity and resilience. These projects can be directly linked to our tours or explore other vital areas of support. Examples of our initiatives include animal husbandry, handicraft production, and catering. Together, we can create a brighter future for those in need while enriching the travel experience for all.
We are dedicated to transparency, holding ourselves accountable for all our projects, which may be shared publicly to inspire others—unless confidentiality is requested by those involved.
Our Guides
Our team is made up of locals from the Hmông, Red Dzao, Tay tribes in order to provide to our participants with the best travel through our shared experience. We live in the villages we visit, work here, and know the region both personally and professionally. We speak the local ethnic languages as well as English to communicate with you, and translate for you and our communities. We are not just tour guides, but also local people who are passionately committed to eradicating extreme poverty by prioritizing local disadvantaged women and youth. Every tour is an opportunity to address the vulnerabilities of families, groups, and communities we encounter.
Sung Mi So
My name is Sung Mi So, born and raised in a farming family in the Dong Van stone plateau - Ha Giang.
My family has 5 members: my parents, me and two younger siblings. With the desire to change my family's life and the passion to explore and share the beauty of my homeland, I always strive to spread good things, memorable experiences and cultural values about Ha Giang.
I am proud of my job, which is not only a passion, but also the main source of income to improve my life and support my family. With constant efforts, I hope to bring everyone good and meaningful impressions of the beloved land of Ha Giang.
Nong Xuan Thuy
Hello, let me introduce myself, my name is Nong Xuan Thuy, born and raised in Ha Giang, a province in the Northeast of Vietnam, I am an ethnic minority and proud to be a child of the “Tay” ethnic group. And I will talk about why I chose to be a tour guide.
The reason I chose this profession is not simply because I love it, but also because I believe that tourism has a special power: it connects people from all over the world, erases cultural boundaries, and brings new perspectives on life. Every trip is not just a journey to a certain place but also a journey of emotions, experiences and learning.
Because of my love and pride for my traditional culture, I chose to become a tour guide. This is not only a job but also an opportunity for me to share with people, especially tourists from all over the world, about the unique beauty of my people – from history, culture to the way we connect with nature. I believe that being a tour guide not only helps me introduce the beauty of my homeland but also helps me preserve and spread traditional values. When I lead tourists through the trails of the mountains and forests, or tell them about the meaning of special customs and festivals, I always hope that they will not only feel the excitement but also understand and appreciate the culture that we have kept for generations.
As a local, I have the opportunity to live and experience everything that I tell, from the taste of traditional dishes to the unique customs of daily life. This helps me create authentic, profound and memorable journeys for each tourist.
For me, being a tour guide is not only a job, but also a pride in playing the role of a cultural "ambassador", bringing the beauty of my homeland closer to everyone. I hope that through each trip, I can help visitors not only discover, but also feel the warmth, humanity and special values of the land and people where I was born.
