Essentials

City
Ha Giang, on the Lo River in Tuyen Quang, Vietnam. The provincial city was dissolved on 1 July 2025; the centre is now phuong Ha Giang 1 and phuong Ha Giang 2, and it is the start of the Ha Giang Loop. 1 3 38
Population
The former city had 58,408 people in 2022 (133.46 km2). It was dissolved on 1 July 2025. Phuong Ha Giang 1 has 21,652 people (82.69 km2) and phuong Ha Giang 2 has 34,234 (61.62 km2); the second ward also took in Phong Quang, so the two figures are not the old city added together. 1 2 3
Internet Speed
No Ha Giang speed test is published. Ookla Vietnam for August 2026 shows a median of 360.77 Mbps mobile and 360.79 Mbps fixed, a country sample. Vinaphone lists Home 2 fibre at 235,000 VND a month for about 1 Gbps; Numbeo lists 60 Mbps or faster at about 241,221 VND a month. 10 17 9
