HA GIANG LOOP: A Breathtaking Motorbike Ride Through NORTHERN VIETNAM

[@gannamorgachova7807]

These views are mind-blowing. I've been watching and thinking: humans are so tiny and their lives so fleeting, while these mountains and rivers remain...

[@alrightanton]

Yeah…. And now imagine driving for days through these mountains and thinking about it. This place is so mesmerizing 😌

[@BriKinsella]

I've watched more than 20 YT videos on the Ha Giang Loop and you have shown the best aerial shots of the area, thank you! 🤗

[@alrightanton]

Oooh what a cimpliment! Thanks! Yeah that trip was mainly drone dedicated journey. I was on my own, had plenty of time to do "the right flight in the right time". And to be honest Ha Giang is just made for drone videography. Unbelievably beautiful place!

[@dinaelsebaie]

I love how your videos are both artistic and realistic. The loop looks incredible from high above and the views are just breathtaking.

[@alrightanton]

Dina you have to visit it one day😊

[@dylanngo4454]

Có hàng ngàn clip về Hà Giang, nhưng phải công nhận là không clip nào giống clip nào dù cùng một góc quay, đấy là cái đặc biệt của Hà Giang. Phải công nhận đó là những con người can đảm vì xem cảnh thì đẹp nhưng tôi có thể tưởng tượng đi khó thế nào vì không phải cáp treo. Các góc quay của anh rất trọn lọc và ấn tượng, one of the best, có điều anh nên ghép ít cảnh hơn, và mỗi cảnh kéo dài hơn, kết hợp với một câu truyện kết nối các cảnh quay, sẽ hấp dẫn hơn rất nhiều

[@alrightanton]

Cảm ơn bình luận của bạn! Tôi hiểu ý bạn là gì. Tôi nghĩ mục tiêu của tôi là cố gắng hiển thị mọi ngóc ngách của địa điểm nhưng đồng thời không kéo dài nó thành một vài video, đơn giản là tôi không có thời gian để chỉnh sửa nhiều video như vậy... Tôi còn khoảng 6 video nữa cần chỉnh sửa ngay bây giờ và tôi quyết định rằng sẽ tốt hơn nếu nén chuyến đi Hà Giang của tôi vào một video hơn là dàn trải nó thành nhiều video clip.

[@FaTa-bd3uw]

Cùng suy nghĩ như bạn khi xem, fewer is more. Clip này có Familiealbum style

[@alrightanton]

@@FaTa-bd3uw Đúng một chút... Đó là một cái nhìn khá nén về đường vòng Hà Giang. Về lý thuyết tôi có thể làm các video riêng biệt về từng khu dân cư đó, Yên Minh, Đồng Văn, Mèo Vạc và Du Gia...

Thanks! Yeah KZbin likes it when you upload videos every week. Then they will promote you and give views. But if you’re like me uploading once every month then the chances of rising are very little. But who knows! I prefer quality over quantity, so will keep pushing for as long as I can😊

Thank you!☺️🤩

[@doodahgurlie]

I heard there is a place near Hanoi that is similar to Sapa that Westerners aren't aware of. It might be Cam Dao, but I could be wrong (it starts with the word Cam anyway). Also you might consider visiting Yen Tu someday as I saw Hello Hunnay go there and it looked awesome. Have also seen beautiful shots of Mai Chau and Cat Ba Island from a couple of vloggers, if you want to explore more in the northern area.

[@alrightanton]

Cam Dao… Not sure about that, I know Tam Dao, made a short video about it too some time ago. I have heard good things about Mai Chau. Really beautiful rice fields. Maybe one day will do a tour there too!

[@gannamorgachova7807]

Loving those teal and red roofs in Dong Van💗💗💗

[@doodahgurlie]

Yeah, I really like those red roofs because they stand out in a nice way. Typically, I like things that blend in the environment, but those roofs really work for that setting somehow.

[@alrightanton]

Yeah really beautiful, that was a quite unexpected treat😅

[@doodahgurlie]

You captured some beautiful shots, Anton. There's just something so unique about those small mountains that jut up everywhere and go on for miles that creates this really unique looking landscape. It's mystical, moody (especially surrounded by rain and fog), magical, etc. It's so different than the Western mountains that gradually get big as you get close to them. The view from the river that sits between towering mountains is gorgeous! Was Ba Be Lake not worth a mention or is that a separate video? I saw One Pack Wanderers visit the biggest lake (Thac Ba Lake, I believe) in the area and they had some nice drone shots of it.

[@alrightanton]

I think I made a mistake by going to Ha Giang first and then to Ba Be lake, it really fades in comparison to the beauty of Ha Giang. Lovely place but also, at that time I get well tired of continuous filming so Ba Be lake served me as a place to relax and do nothing😅 Still made quite a few shots there but not sure if enough for a separate video😂

[@RestorationPlanet]

Hi there. Lots of good drone work. I’m here with a mavik pro but got a little worried about flying it with all the paperwork and money they want. It seems everyone just flies here without permits etc. Is that your experience?

[@alrightanton]

Hi there. Yeah in my experience it’s never been a problem in Vietnam. At this stage the government doesn’t seem to limit the drone flight except for the restricted areas like around airports or some governmental districts. They are usually well marked in the drone app. But generally it this moment it’s fairly easy and relatively safe to fly it. Been flying my drone in Vietnam for the past two years and never really had problems with it. Some security guards would get annoyed if you are trying to fly drone from a parking lot near their temple, but that’s quite easy to solve by stepping slightly away from the area

[@RestorationPlanet]

That’s great to hear. Kind of crazy strict rules if you look on their sites. 14 day advance notice of flight. 300 to 700 US dollars per flight! Who could fly a drone at that cost? I’ve never heard of anyone getting fined for not having a permit.

[@alrightanton]

Yeah I've seen those articles and yup never seen anyone actually following them. I have a feeling that this might be related to big commercial photoshoots or maybe when you need to get a permossion to fly in a restricted area, but generally no, no one asks for that yet.

[@RestorationPlanet]

Thanks for your help with this and safe travels. We are in Quy Nhon and really like it here.

No... Not yet... I've heard good stuff about it, but never had a chance to go there. Is it really worth it?

[@gaiusho4906]

Did you encounter police points along the loop?

[@alrightanton]

Not a single one! I have heard multiple stories about the police there. Stories of different level of severity. But personally I did two trips solo to Ha Giang and all together spent probably around 12 days riding around the mountains and NEVER saw a single police officer. Maybe I was lucky or not the “target audience “ but yeah , easy and smooth in my experience

[@gaiusho4906]

@@alrightanton I see. Heard nowadays police are clamping down on tourists, but it's based on luck I guess

[@alrightanton]

There’re always have been rumors and stories about it. Some of my friends told me that the police in the north is much stricter than in the capital. But then I’ve done three big motorbike trips to the northern border, to SaPa and Ha Giang and I’ve never had any issues with the police. But then yeah, I have heard the stories😅

[@ngothuat2045]

Hi Alright Anton, I'm watching a lot of videos about Hoi An, Ha Giang, Ninh Binh. There are some great videos and yours is one of them, I'm surprised why it doesn't have many views. You have great nature shots, the video quality is so good. If this video was made 10 years ago, I'm sure it was gold so everyone would give you 10 points. I've watched most of your videos, unfortunately you don't have many views and subscribers. Ok, everyone has a different opinion, this is just my personal opinion, it can help you create more attractive videos. 1. Your videos are too short, we are always disappointed when we watch videos that are less than 20 minutes, please make videos of 40-50 minutes. 2. You should interact with the audience more, interact with the locals more to create attraction and experience for others. Actually I will take 7-8 minutes from the Ha Giang loop video into a new 40 minute video, I need more footage. 3. The music in this video is quite good, however you should choose music that creates excitement or emotion for the audience, pay attention to the audience commenting on what the music at minute xxx is called. 4. Create an engaging story when interacting with local people, it leaves a deep impression on you and the audience, even many viewers ask you to come back and meet those people. This is a video of a Vietnamese tour guide for a Danish group by motorbike, I think his video skills are not as good as yours but I like such realistic scenes in the video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/j2qch2tmmtGfack Try to watch the whole video because it has many interesting scenes, this is a tour near Hagiang loop, from Bac Ha to Ba Be lake. I think you can absolutely create a million-view video like Hagiang loop, the advantage here is the breathtaking scenery and dangerous route. To do that, I think you need to make at least 3 more videos about Hagiang loop, the same route but with different situations. Then you combine the 3 videos above and this video to create a video, don't hesitate to hire a reliable consultant if necessary. I think you can create a legacy, a masterpiece for you, for the world, for Vietnam and your children. Of course, you will have to stay in Hagiang for 1 month. Don't hesitate to post all 3 videos above, you need the audience's opinion. Then you can delete all 4 videos and post only 1 final video. Good luck. Please note I am not a media service or any other service, just commenting on content that may be useful to you.

[@alrightanton]

Hi Ngo Thuat thank you for your detailed comment, this is probably the longest and the most informative comments I’ve ever had on this channel. I really appreciate your view and attention to my channel. As for the duration of the videos it’s a tricky one. I try to make my videos coherent and interesting to watch and I don’t let them drag and slow down too much. You might see that over the course of the years the videos have become longer and longer. Initially they’d be only 5-6 minutes, now they expand to 15-16 minutes. This is a natural process and I think the further I go the more informative and interesting the videos will become but I feel this shouldn’t be forced too much. But I agree about the interactions. This is one of the things that I want to do in the future. My first goal is to speak more when I am in the location, I have recently been doing it quite a bit. And the further it goes the more frequently it will become. And probably the next stage will be interactions but that’s a whole new skill for me so I imagine this might take time for sure😂 My main issue is that I am quite slow in making these videos and KZbin just doesn’t like it when you post videos only once a month. They want you to post every week and then you will get attention. Otherwise it will be like in my situation. Consistent but very slow growth

[@ngothuat2045]

@@alrightanton I understand what you mean, actually all famous youtubers need 1-3 years to accumulate experience, even if you just make videos to keep as memories. KZbin and many other platforms require you to post regularly, interact with the audience to maintain the attraction of the channel. It's okay, you can post 1 video every 1-3 months. I have a tip for you: Create short videos (videos shorter than 1 minute) not too short (better than 45s - 58s). If you stay in Ha Giang long enough, I'm sure you can create hundreds of short videos, schedule at least 1 short video per week and you'll have 100 weeks and not have to worry about KZbin's rules. And so you don't have to feel pressured and spend time making a great video. Make 5 great videos rather than hundreds of normal videos. If in Vietnam, I think it must be Ha Giang, I'm not sure about other countries because there are a lot of videos now, the competition is very high. You can't make videos like others. If you have time, edit the short video into 4 different videos (edit a little to avoid Google's duplication error, then post it on tiktok, insta, facebook reels), it will be very valuable because it has views very quickly. I forgot a little, you have to create a really attractive thumbnail (find keywords and watch other youtubers' thumbnails, especially hot videos), extract the most attractive parts and insert them at the beginning of the video (30s).

[@alrightanton]

Yeah thumbnail is something I’m actively working on. Maybe you noticed my channel is a lot focus on esthetics. I don’t want just to be viral , I want to gain followers and reputation through making high standard videos. When it comes to thumbnails I try to choose the best shots I could find but yeah I feel there still some work to be done. Previously I used to keep the best shots for the middle part of the video, now yeah, I just throw everything that I have in the first part and then carry on. It does seem to work better. With Ha Giang… Oh I’ll be back to it at some point. Maybe actually in December this year. Maybe there will be a follow up. It’s such a beautiful place. I miss it. As for short videos there is a back side of it. If KZbin notices that I post too many videos that don’t get enough views it will just stop promoting my videos. It happened before when I did some shorts. I really don’t wanna spam with videos. This can easily backfire
