Tu San Abyss is located at the foot of Ma Pi Leng (Ha Giang province) - one of the most imposing, dangerous and steep passes in Vietnam. Here, the Nho Que river winds along the mountains with emerald green water all year round. The river originates from Yunnan (China) and flows into Vietnam at the northernmost point of Lung Cu commune, Dong Van district, Ha Giang province.

With cliff height of 800m, 1.7km long and nearly 1km deep, Tu San abys alley is known as the deepest canyon in Southeast Asia, a unique wonder of Dong Van rocky plateau. 

In 2009, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism classified this site as a national heritage site, and the Nho Que River was honored as one of the unique tectonic valleys of Vietnam.

The most interesting feature of the abyss is that it is situated between two ravines. Watched from a significant height, the two giant cliffs seem to bunch together. Its marvelous beauty combines with the river’s emerald green water to provoke breathless excitement.
