A ninth-grade dropout who once did not speak a word of English, H’Mong man Giao is now a sought-after and charming tour guide on the Ha Giang Loop.
After a long day leading a tour group, 27-year-old Giang Mi Giao pulls into an eatery in Yen Minh Town.
He checks the bikes, asks after each traveler’s health, and makes sure everyone has what they need.
As the team leader of an “easy rider” group — local drivers who take visitors around Ha Giang City — he oversees everything from coordinating riders to supporting guests on the way.
The job fetches him around VND13 million (US$492) a month plus tips, but even a few years ago he never imagined such an income was possible.
