Hi Lee. Just wanted to say thanks for the video. I literally just got back to Hanoi after finishing the Ha Giang loop! Was unsure whether to do it before i watched your video, used the same hostel/tour and it was amazing!! Thank you for your videos 🙏

Just got back from doing the loop last week. We did 4 days 3 nights and rode ourselves. Booked it through Hanoi Central Backpackers Hostel. Absolutely stunning experience. Can't really put it into words. The 4th day was really nice as our group bonded a lot and made the most out of the 3rd night. Would recommend this experience to anyone. Riding itself wasn't difficult. No police check points. Easy riders did say it was just a lot of looking around for 4 days.

@jordy-fosta So I am going there in November and I really do not want to sit behind somebody the whole time while riding through this surreal place. I have been riding motorcycles for more than 15 years now so that is not a problem at all. My question is I have read/ seen that if you ride solo or by yourself then Cops are a major problem as they are bound to stop you at check points and dick around. Is that the case.

@@rishabhbose29 Hey mate. You would be fine to ride it. I had very limited (couple of months) riding eperience and managed fine. One of my friends had 0 riding experience and managed easily too. As for the police, we didn't run into any problems in our tour group. We did it through QT tours (i think that was the name). The only time we sat on the back was when we left ha giang to get past the police check point. This was for a few hours and then we started to ride ourselves. We sat at the back of the tour group for the first day. The main group would be infront and be spotters in case of police. We didn't encounter any. I have heard that they stop the main group, send someone back to collect you and then send another person back to get the bike. Then the group takes off again. After we did Ha Giang, we rented bikes in Da Nang and rode to hue, then Hoi An. We cruised along main roads and didn't encounter any police. Didn't come into any trouble there either.

Well it's not just one road, it's a route around the region. I don't know if there are variations of the route that might be less busy, but I guess they take you on the one with the best views. It honestly doesn't feel packed until you stop somewhere where another group has also stopped. Thanks for watching the video 🙏🏻🙏🏻😊

It’s poorest region in Vietnam is because of the people who possess a slum culture that they litter indiscriminately. Imagine the people kept everything neat and clean and sell the food with hygiene, then the tourists flock in, then their life would improve.

You should not blame everything on the people, maybe some tourists also litter with poor awareness. But you're right, most Vietnamese people litter indiscriminately. Young people now have better awareness, hopefully they will improve in the future.😂@@nocancelcultureaccepted9316

Vietnam could be more enjoyable if the people didn’t throw garbage everywhere, didn’t scam and steal. As a Vietnamese, I have to say that over 95% of the food vendors lack of food safety and hygiene. So eat at your own peril.
