Palace of the King Lying at the end of a row of tall sycamore trees, the surface stone gate of King Cat Vuong Chinh Duc's mansion in Sa Phin is a must-see attraction. Vuong Chinh Duc was the head of the Vuong family of Mong people in Ha Giang over a century ago. Made incomprehensibly rich through the planting, processing and trading of opium across borders with China and Burma, Vuong Chinh Duc and his family dominated this plateau and proclaimed himself king.
Behind the stone gate is his monumental palace, a mansion that took over 8 years to build, costing about 150,000 VND white silver. Crafted by Muslims in Yunnan and the most talented craftsmen in Mongolia, the palace still holds a gift from Ho Chi Minh himself when he came to gain the trust of Vuong Chinh Duc and earn his support.
