O Quy Ho Pass is also known as Hoang Lien Pass (because the pass crosses the Hoang Lien Son mountain range) or May (Clouds) Pass because the top of the pass is covered with clouds all year round.
Located on National Highway 4D crossing the Hoang Lien Son range, O Quy Ho pass connects Lao Cai and Lai Chau, with the top of the pass also being the boundary between these two provinces.
The most ideal journey for tourists is to depart from Sapa, cross Bac (Silver) waterfall at about 12 km, then go straight to the top of O Quy Ho. At a height of 2,073m, from the famous mountain pass, you will have the opportunity to see a sea of clouds floating like a fairyland.
