Please note: it is the architecture of champa (an ethnic minority in Vietnam). We Vietnamese are Kinh people, our culture belongs to the East Asian cultural area, not Southeast Asia. We have roots in southern China and northern Vietnam, in Vietnam there are many ethnic minorities and diverse cultures when going south, it is the result of the process of territorial expansion towards the south
Hi, hope you enjoy Vietnam so far. It's mesmerizing when Nha trang is still peaceful and beautiful like exactly my childhood time. Champa used to run this part of region from the middle region of Vietnam. That's why you can see a lot of similar temples like this in Da Nang ( thánh địa mỹ sơn), Phan rang - thap cham (where Cham people are dominantly minority ethnic group there). Each province of Vietnam has its own special dishes and vibes so it's worthy to take time in some different famous cities of each region to see the differences. Welcome to Vietnam!
We are absolutely LOVING Vietnam! It is such a beautiful country ❤️ Wow! Thank you so much for letting us know - we have definitely noticed the differences between each area!
As long as Vietnam is still ruled by the oppressive and exploitive Communist regime, her potential remains greatly diminished. For any 1% that wants to stay, 99% of the population wants to get out, and many have risked their lives doing just that (for example, 39 doomed lives found in UK container truck recently on the news, and that's only what's been reported), unfortunately. Yet another shocking and also recent example is that during the Covid pandemic when almost all countries assisted their citizens with financial aids in one form or another, the corrupt and murderous Vietnamese Commie regime saw it just as another opportunity not to help but to exploit its ruled citizens even more, essentially making money over the corpses of its citizens by presumably killing at least 30-50K of them, due to grossly misdiagnoses and being thrown into barbwired unhygenic living quarters for isolation, so that they had to sleep on concrete floor, even next to filled trashcans, with inadequate toilet, food, water, or medicine, like animals (searching hard enough, one is able to see shocking video clips on Facebook though the regime tried hard to crack down the leaks by Vietnamese citizen journalists), with the fake nostril Covid test kits, mislabeled as approved by World Health Organization (WHO) in Việt Á scandal, colluded by at least 4 different government agencies (Y Tế , Khoa Học, Công Nghệ, Quân y) and the top Politburo members, including Nguyễn Phú Trọng, Phạm Minh Chính, Nguyễn Xuân Phúc. Murderous Vietnamese Commie regime even had a thug murdered Christian pastor Giuse Trần Ngọc Thanh, like it has done with many other pastors across the nation. There is a reason why the current Commie Vietnam ranks at the bottom of the world in freedom of speech, (true) freedom of religion, and freedom of the press, barely above Commie China and Commie North Korea. There is no true freedom of religion in Commie Vietnam, as this corrupt Vietnamese Commie regime only authorized the fake organizations headed by Commie monks, many of whom were Commie Party officials, and those religious organizations not approved to be infiltrated by them or headed by their Commie agents are accused of malicious and nonexistent crimes and banned, with innocent religious leaders arrested and jailed, as in the recent case with Thiền Am Bên Bờ Vũ Trụ, a harmless Buddhist meditation monastery, for simply having many followers (hence, more influences that the regime fears it can't control) than the Commie Party's officially approved ones. Similarly, its passport ranks at the bottom, 89th out of 111 countries for a reason, barely above North Korea 104th rank. even below many African nations. For comparison, South Korea is at 2nd rank. That's what Republic of South Vietnam would have likely been ranked among at least the top 10 had it not been invaded and occupied by the North Vietnamese Commie terrorists, aided by Commie Soviet and Commie China. Search "cuop dat dan" (meaning "land-robbing of citizens") to see millions of footages across the country from North to South, spanning for decades, dated back to Ho Chi Minh's bloody land reform 1953-1956 that killed nearly 1 million North Vietnamese in only 4 years, or 250K people brutally slaughtered in torturous painful deaths (like being shot, stabbed, mutilated while being alive, or heads being plowed over by water buffaloes while bodies being buried underground) each year on average to rob their lands and homes. Even today, if the rightful owners refuse to have their homes or lands robbed, the ruthless Vietnamese Commie terrorist regime simply jail or massacre them, have tractors run over their bodies or openly assassinate them in their own homes. When it comes to robbing, these barbarian Vietnamese Commie bandits even prey on each other, just as the recent case with then 84-year-old Mr. Lê Đình Kình, a 55-year-Commie Party veteran from Dong Tam, near Hanoi, that got shot dead at 3am in his own home by the Vietnamese Commie terrorist regime. When his wife Mrs. Dư Thị Thành refused to lie about the incident as ordered, the Vietnamese Commie terrorist police brutally tortured her (see more details from "dandongtam" on Facebook). The corrupt Vietnamese Commie government officials routinely dine on lavish gold-plated Salt Bae steak $100K per meal with blood money not just from taxpayers but also from robbed-lands and robbed homes recently drew international condemnations, while many Vietnamese citizens, including elderlies in their 60's and 70's as well as kids as young as 6's to 16's selling lottery tickets on the streets to survive on $2-3 per day. Even Phạm Nhật Vượng the richest man in Vietnam (via his VinGroup) made the bulk of his wealth mainly by colluding with the barbarian Vietnamese Commie regime in selling their robbed-lands from Vietnamese citizens. Travelers to Vietnam in her current form (not at all like this before the Communists took over) should keep this in mind. Behind the beauty of the land and smiling faces at popular tourist destinations, there are a lot of darkness and tears, bloods, sweats, sorrow, horror, and sufferings all over the country.
Aussies, you get what you pay for, as the saying goes. No matter how beautiful the beaches in Vietnam are, they can’t be compared to the white sandy beaches in QLD. Sorry Vietnam, only stating the truth, from a Viet bloke.
If you wanted the beach, park, or city to yourself go out around 11am to 2pm......that's when the sun is unbearable and people take naps ....that's why Vietnamese got up early as 4-4:30am to exercise when it's still cool
They’re all out early in the morning and late in the evening because they hate being out in the sun and heat. Vietnamese women in particular are shunned and teased for having dark skin so they all try very hard to stay fair skinned.
We have definitely fallen into this routine as well now! We head out in the morning rest during the hottest part of the day and then go back out in the arvo! 😅
I stayed in Nha Trang for like 5 nights with my partner at the Fusion resort. You get complimentary spa treatment everyday and they have their own private beach. I would highly recommend.
Thank you for sharing this beautiful video. I love the beach. It looked fantastic and very relaxing. Champa temple is an influence of Indian culture. Vietnam used to be called “IndoChina” during the colonialism time. It means the emergence of Chinese culture and Indian culture.
Xàm quá ông ơi, indochina là gọi chung các nước thái, lào, campuchia, việt là bán đảo đông dương, vì khu vực này nằm giữa trung quốc và indonesia. Đừng phát biểu linh tinh để người khác nhìn sai về Việt Nam
Had to stop the video to comment...LOL! This is the third video I've seen with sleeper buses and you guys chose the worst one so far. Attila and Zae had 2nd runner up, but my favorite was the one that 2Passports 1Dream chose for the overnight trip. It's like a capsule and super cool!
Attila and Zae also showed the Cham architecture, which I love as I'm a sucker for ruins and nature. You should check out what they did in the Nha Trang area. Karl Watson did a GREAT video series on that area (it's the 2nd video from the series). Check it out. If you're heading North, check out Tim and Fin's video on the Ha Giang Loop (the hour long one) because it's amazing as well as their cave video. Also, Sammy and Tommy posted beautiful videos this past week or their trip up north from 2 years ago.
the bus you rode is the older generation buses. There are many new-gen mobile home buses line, they offer more space and privacy. I hope you have a good time in Vietnam, Cheer!
Welcome to my childhood hometown, Nha Trang. I really Enjoy your beautiful editing of all views. Local food is great and mild. Best wishes to your journey! Greetings from Nashville, Tennessee, USA 🇺🇸
Hi Jordan and Emily, so glad to welcome you coming to Nha Trang, i was born and live in Nha Trang until now. My home near Thap Ba Ponagar temple, so happy when i saw this video, hope you enjoy this time in Nha Trang.
Mui Ne- The sand dunes are like being in the desert, Da Lat is cold, dreamy and romantic, Da Nang (one of the most beautiful beaches on the planet-Forbes), Hue royal city (unesco), Hoi ancient town An (unesco), Hanoi - traditional values, Sapa - majestic mountains and finally Ha Long Bay - the natural wonder of the world. These places won't let you down. If you have a lot of time, it will be very interesting to do a trip from the South to the North
Thank you so much for sharing - luckily we have a few of this on the list to visit! Hopefully we are lucky enough to come back one day and can visit the rest because they look beautiful ❤️
I am trying to come up with something I do not like about this video and my conclusion is, I got nothing ! You supplied excellent content and narration along with fantastic editing. It makes it easier to live through your eyes. Thank's much.
Been binge watching ur videos this whole week!! I'm from Vietnam btw, just wanna say I love ur travel vlogs so much. And this is kinda random but has anyone ever told Emily that she looks so much like Alexa Bliss from WWE?? 😅
They are out very early in the morning on the beach, but you won't see many Vietnamese from 10am to 4PM because they avoid the sun's intensity during those hours.
@@JordanandEmily Don't do bun dau mam tom unless you've an expert. Even Viets will run from the shrimp paste in the dip. LOL! If you're not familiar with Vietnamese food, dip your toes with com tam, bun thit nuong or bun cha in the north, banh mi (a million options to choose from), pho, bun bo Hue (pho's spicier cousin), banh xeo, banh khot, banh cuon, bo la lot, bo ne, all the goi (salad), anything that requires wrapping up in greens and herbs and dipped, etc. Check out Max McFarlin's channel for food.
