3 Days in Ninh Binh, Vietnam 🇻🇳 Ha Long Bay on Land

Vietnam has a total of 64 provinces and cities, and each province has its own unique regional characteristics. Traveling in Vietnam is not enough for a short period of time. Many foreigners have lived in Vietnam for more than ten years, twenty years, or even the rest of their lives, and have not yet discovered everything ^^ After your trip to the north, try visiting the southwestern part of Vietnam, an extremely peaceful place, with rice fields. , a simple person, quite honest, try wearing ao dai, ba ba shirt, go boating, experience being a Vietnamese farmer, extremely interesting, but in my opinion, you should not just stay in hotels, homestays, Stay with the people, you will see how warm and close the Vietnamese people are ^^

[@Kogashjne]

Travel to Vietnam by motorbike, travel from north to south, or vice versa, you can ask to stay at a nearby people's house. Try and feel. Or you can set up a camping tent anywhere. But I advise you to pay attention to handheld devices. Although Vietnam is a peaceful country with friendly people, it is not without bad guys or robbers, you need to be more careful!

[@mikeandashley]

That sounds like an amazing experience. We would love to visit more rural areas. You think people would let us come and stay with them? That would be a dream, but I’d be honest to say that I would be nervous asking. We never want to be a burden on someone. We’re hoping to return to Vietnam soon and have more time to explore. We love this country so much.

[@Kogashjne]

@@mikeandashley just try ask them ^^ i think one of them will be shy or not, just try ^^ and... if available, i think u should learn Vietnamese, we so happy when a foreign people can talk with us by Vietnamese ^^ u can inteview others foreign youtuber review Vietnam country

[@StephandPete]

Great video! Also the songs at 1:00 and 13:56-- love those! 😆 (Haha, I love the cheap thrill of recognizing random royalty-free songs in other people's vids.) We wanted to go to Ninh Binh during our trip to Vientam last year but because of the 30-day visa and the fact we had to stay in one place a month, had to scrap it. But this has sealed the deal that we need to return for a visit (maybe not in rainy season-- y'all are troopers.)

[@adamandlinds]

Omg, I know we want to go so bad too. We spent 30 days there last year, too, but we were not limited to one place, not sure why we didn't make it to Ninh Binh. I think we're going to try to head back early next year.

[@mikeandashley]

Thanks! We were vibing with the jams on this one. You guys use Artlist too? 🙌 You have to check it out. It’s so amazing. And we weren’t there during the rainy season, it just happened to rain the last week of our trip haha… maybe it was the beginning of it? 🤔

[@ando9760]

Good morning from SoCal, Wow! That was amazing! Seems like you saved the best for last. I agree with Mike that it’d be hard to choose which place is more beautiful between Ha Long Bay and Ninh Bình. So your 30 days trip in Vietnam came to an end. Hopefully that experience with many beautiful memories will follow you for life. Thank you for sharing your videos with us. It’s not just a trip but it’s also your perspectives about Vietnam, its people, and its culture. You two, throughout your videos, have demonstrated that we as a whole can achieve harmony by understanding, caring, considering for each other though there are many differences. Thank you for respecting, and being kind to our people. I wish you two the best of luck in the future wherever you go and whatever you do. Be safe and healthy.

[@mikeandashley]

Hi Ando! Thank you so much for your kind words. It has been quite the journey, and we are sad that it is over for the time being. We're excited for our next adventure but a bit sad we won't have more Vietnam content for a few months. The people here are the best, and we can't wait to return to show our friends why we fell in love with the country.

[@datgal2u]

Those cause and effect posters were hysterical! They should sell them as souvenirs. 😂 I've always loved Ninh Binh and think it's gorgeous in every way and really enjoy when people bike around the area so we can see more of it. Sorry to hear that Ashely was sick, but Mike's climb was awesome. I was surprised there were so few people there as you usually have to fight the crowds. That must have been amazing to have the place to yourself so you can be practically alone with the dragon. The drone footage on top was fantastic!

[@mikeandashley]

Isn’t it! And yea, we think they are hilarious too. They should make postcards!!! I was also pleasantly surprised at the lack of people there when I arrived. Get there about 8 am and there’s very few people. I almost didn’t go because I woke up later than expected, but I’m glad I did. Thanks for your kind words.

Oh, Mike's Bernie dance...bwahaha! Never heard of it, but yes, it does look very Bernie-esque. And OMG, your homestay is adorable!! I have seen so many cool homestays there. Isn't December gonna be cold for the north? I think mid October may be better, but I guess it depends on what you're planning to do (e.g. Ha Long Bay may be too cold in December, but not sure about Phong Nha, Mai Chau, Ninh Binh, or Ha Giang Loop...the Central and Southern regions may be nicer, though).

😅😂 Neither of us are dancers lol. We just try to have fun when we can. We LOVED that homestay. The host was amazing, the breakfast was the best we’d had yet and the rooms were so cute.

How long did it take you to ride the bicycle from your homestay to the dancing dragons view point? Was it a difficult ride? What distance did you cover?

[@mikeandashley]

It’s about 4km, and it took about 25 min or so to ride. It was a really beautiful ride too. ☺️

@mikeandashley That does seem a bit slow and doubt if we can do a longer ride considering our group average age of 58, although fit but not strong cyclist's. We are thinking of riding a hired bicycle from Tam Coc to Trang An (boat tour) and then onto the ancient city Hoa Lu before returning to Tam Coc. The first leg to Trang An is already 7km. And from your reference speed it will already take us 45mins . I was estimating we could possibly achieve 15km/hr. But from your r time for 4km (9.6 km/hr) it could blow our schedule.

I was just cruising though, not trying to go at a quick pace. I stopped and looked at ducks and statues etc. I’m sure if you stayed the path, it would take you a bit less time. I get pretty distracted 😅😂

Lovely seen, but your info is not complete . ., If you tell us, how to go there , how much cost you , from which city you come from, airline, etc would have bee nice

[@mikeandashley]

We're happy you liked the video. Sorry we didn't give quite as much information in regards to getting around. We came from Hanoi by van, and it took about 2 hours. I don't recall the cost. We'll try to start incorporating this type of info in our videos in the future. Thank you so much for the feedback!

Hello! 👋

[@Human-Nature.]

magnificent sceneries. I love the mountains with green surrounding underneath, and the rivers run along the way. ❤

[@mikeandashley]

Thank you so much! Vietnam is a beautiful country. ❤️

[@anth3216]

You’re both are wonderful couple. Mike obviously, a nice man and Ashley does have a million dollars smile. Mike & Ashley…. Since you visited the south, central, and the north of Vietnam . I am wondering which place will you pick if you have to live in Vietnam ? For 30 days traveling throughout Vietnam have you notice is that the Vietnamese people favored American best when it comes to foreigners? At least from the south all the way to central Vietnam such Danang.

[@mikeandashley]

Thank you so much! ☺️🥰 We loved all of Vietnam. It would be hard to chose one place to settle for sure. We’ll have to think about it and get back to you, but the three contenders would be Hanoi, Saigon or Dalat! Maybe one of the beach towns like Đà Nẵng or Nha Trang. So many good places to choose!

[@kdao4538]

Is it a wonderland?❤

[@mikeandashley]

It sure was! So amazing.

[@Aba-pq2bb]

What a trip so far, you guys did it well. What do you think about the rain in Vietnam vs the rain in the U.S wherever your state is?

[@mikeandashley]

Thanks so much! We come from North Carolina originally, and it doesn't rain much there. We actually expected it to rain more in Hanoi than it did, so we were pleasantly surprised. 😊

[@baovlog991]

Nếu có thể thì lần đến Việt nam tiếp theo rất mong bạn sẽ đến thăm những tỉnh thành ở phía bắc Việt nam như hà Giang, sapa, ...cảm ơn.

[@mikeandashley]

We would love to! We just didn’t have time on this visit. We’re making another trip to Vietnam soon though, so we’ll explore there for sure! We can’t wait!
