Brilliant vlog guys. We felt that we were right there with you. Getting up early for this one? Welcome to my world. I get up between 3:15 am and 5 am during the week. We loved seeing the limestone cliffs. It took us back to our time in Ao Nang Thailand 🇹🇭 I've sent you some photos. Stay safe and well and have more and more fun 😊 🏴🇻🇳
You both really nailed the essence of the beauty of Vietnam. Indeed the place seemed most wonderful and peaceful in the pristine beauty of the earth that overshadowed everything.
Vietnam shuts down around 12-2pm because people taking nap after lunch to avoid the heat, so it's not a Ninh Binh thing . Aewsome drone shots, your videos really prepare other tourists coming next month August 2023, when the country extends its visa policy from 30 to 90 days for tourists.
Ninh Binh videos - especially amazing drone footage of the dragon on top of the dancing mountains - are my favorite. I cannot believe you guys got the whole place to yourselves as many vloggers are fighting crowds where the dragon lies. I can never get enough of the natural beauty of that area. You guys should have gotten a bicycle and biked through the town and countryside for a slightly different experience as the people that do that really enjoy seeing nature slowly pass by.
Big thumbs up for you to catch sunrise at Hang Mua. I struggled big time when I went up the path. I throught to myself I waas just walking and struggled so much, I can't imagine the people that built those steps and had to carry all of those stone blocks, building in the heat of the middle of the day. Ninh Binh is beautiful, including their spectacular boat ride through the caves to get to the various temples. The grilled goat dish you had looks so delicious.
I suggest you to come back to Ninh Binh in Autumn (between the end of September and the beginning of October) just before the harvest . All the rice paddies will turn yellow making you feel like being in a golden painting . Check-out Mu Cang Chai in Yen Bai province as well to admire the stunning golden colour rice terraces there , one of the most beautiful in Asia . More hidden gems in VN to discover that not many foreign tourists know about : Pu Luong , Pha Din pass , Bac Ha , Moc Châu , O Quy Ho pass , Lo Xo pass , Pleiku , Kontum , HCM road and many more spots . But go there only on the dry season .
Places like Hoi An, Hue, Phong Nha, Ninh Binh, Hanoi, Ha Long, Sapa, Ha Giang is why I say Central and Northern VN are more interesting and picturesque. HCMC is fun and friendly too but I just don't get a sense of VN's uniqueness. We traveled from South to North and left the country with a much more vivid image of VN's uniqueness and strong sense of culture.
I'm Kean to visit or explore the countryside more than the city.more often than not,the culture and tradition of the country is still intact.the view is just a bonus.and the local food is insanely cheap but not sacrificing the taste and quality.
I agree with you...the karsts in Vietnam are absolutely stunning. Majestic, breathtaking, mystical...it really makes you realize the beauty and grandeur of nature at her best. I'd take those mountain views/karsts to the beaches...and if they ever make it to the Ha Giang Loop, they will see more amazing views. Ha Long Bay is absolutely gorgeous, but overcrowded and too much trash that ruins it's beauty.
@doodahgurlie just being honest. And also comparing paddy doyle's cost of halong Bay cruise to his jungfraujoch Swiss train ticket up to the sphinx and glacier and ice Palace. I pick Swiss alps train ride up at usd 225 to 230.
@@keangwooichoo6138 I haven't seen his videos since last year, but he did an absolutely awesome job on a few videos in northern Vietnam, for sure. The Ha Giang Loop, I think they were videos 3 to about 12 were amazing...specifically episodes 6 and 10.
That’s stunning. It would be even more stunning if there are no flags and the little Buddist statue there. I see there are beautiful places like parks and sceneries they built the temple or buhda statue there, it would take away the beauty of those places.
@ben_castle - Dumbf..k comment of the year right here. You know nothing about Buddhism. It's not a controlling or invasive religion like Christianity. You need to keep your trap shut and your brain open.
Buddhism is actually the main religion in Vietnam , so why there are Buddhist statues and pagodas almost everywhere here . If you don't like it so go to hell dude .
Be carefull with the drone shots, the military is always actively looking out for random electronic stuffs flying into their bases or specialized zones. They WILL shoot your drone down if you violate their no fly zones. And you will possibly be facing some hefty fines if caught, too. DJI drones does have these areas on their map and the flycam will not fly into marked no-fly areas, I'm not sure about other brands.
