KING KONG MOVIE LOCATION - Ninh Binh Vietnam

[@defyme1464]

Oh, I did not know that king kong was shot in VN. This is awesome!!!

[@tompham8039]

Love you both. You are fabulous. Beautiful personalities.

[@popobox6366]

This place is absolutely magical

[@MarkAmanda]

Couldn't agree more 😄 💜Amanda

[@adxkohkoh5121]

First, my congratulations for such a view, only a drone can do it... Splendid scenery..... Also, both of you, damn fit for this dangerous hills climbing, the lady is more fitter, tqvm

[@MarkAmanda]

😂😂 Mark will love this 🙋🏻‍♀️

[@grouchyoldguyfawks6708]

great views even without the sun!

[@MarkAmanda]

True! It would be awesome to see with the rice fields 😄

[@ArbitraryExploration]

So beautiful! Thank you for sharing your version of Vietnam!

[@MarkAmanda]

It was our pleasure 😄💜Amanda

[@defyme1464]

Honestly speaking, vietnamese are the friendliest people as well.

[@aaramzee]

Out of the world beauty, these places, just looks like from some other planet. Thank you for sharing

[@MarkAmanda]

No problem Khawaja, and we completely agree, feels like you're on a different world when you're standing up there, it's no wonder they wanted to film King Kong there

[@defyme1464]

Incredibly beautiful!

[@robertmaddelena7890]

Wow great place. Enjoyed that.can't wait to check it out. Looks a little scary between the hieghts and the shatp rocks. Thanks.

[@bingham67]

Ninh Binh is such a stunning place so gutted I did not have a drone at this stage in my Instagram life the shots would of been epic

[@MarkAmanda]

lol, we know that feeling all too well! I should had let Mark buy the drone before we left but instead we bought it in Australia lol 💜Amanda

[@adamdenzel]

Fantastic video! I love that you included the food in here as well, that is one thing that we loved about Ninh Binh but didn't really get the chance to talk about. It also looked just as grey for you as it was before we left, which I was actually not mad about. It was a whole different experience. Great stuff, looking forward to seeing more!

[@mhonferari]

Those mountains looking freaky quiet but as you watch king kong it looks so wild and scary. You guys standing on the top of the mountain not being afraid of heights, good thing you didn't tripped as you step on those sharp pointed rocks. Didn't you guys ever get tired of climbing way to the edge of the top of that mountain? It ooks very hard to step up in there...

[@MarkAmanda]

Haha, no we get tired all the time! And yes, tripping and catching a sharp rock to the eye was in the back of our heads, but then you look out at the view and forget about being tired and scared :)

[@LifetimeTravelmates]

Hey! This is when you were following our steps! :D

[@MarkAmanda]

haha, too bad we didn't catch you guys!

[@LifetimeTravelmates]

next time! next travels!

[@travelvietnam5997]

Ninh Binh is wonderful, I stayed in Ninh Binh in 3 days and I stayed at Phi Hung's Unique homestay. Fantastic with owner, truly local, room is clean and very cheap. About only 12$.

[@Popcorn-uv4bx]

You two are one of the best bloggers. Seem to be such nice people not to mention a great couple. :)

[@TOPTRAVELVLOG]

Very beautiful video. Nice place. Great work.

[@MarkAmanda]

Thank you!

[@mhedtellA]

King Kong location?oh my.. whatta mid blowing video..❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@MarkAmanda]

Crazy right?! Definitely a must visit if you go to Vietnam

[@mhedtellA]

The NYC Couple yes..the place is insane.. so amazing.. and I wnna go there with my boyfriend..

[@RobertFireLionBlueHawkWinkler]

Filming for King Kong took place in New Zealand from September 2004 to March 2005.

[@MarkAmanda]

We should have specified... Kong: skull island

[@sylviaa7754]

You always have amazing drone footage 😍

[@MarkAmanda]

Thanks Sylvia, it was a real treat getting to fly the drone up there

[@SoniaDoubleG]

wow breathtaking footage!

[@MarkAmanda]

Thanks Sonia!

[@nazfromqueens]

totally worth all those steps ^^ We took a tour and it felt too rushed and didn't see and experience as much as you did.. you guys really know how to do it.. OMG.. that bus... i cant wait for the next video

[@MarkAmanda]

That sucks - tours are really hit or miss. We usually learn more about the history and culture on tours, but like you said, they are always rushed and you can't move at your own pace. We literally spent over 2 hours up on the mountain

[@defyme1464]

Amanda has a killer smile. :-) :-) :-) it melts my heart. :-D

[@MarkAmanda]

Aww you're such a sweetheart 💜Amanda

[@Lona202]

I love Ninh Bình ♥️(35)

[@Dontforgetto]

Wow, there is some great footage in this one! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@MarkAmanda]

Thanks! It was awesome getting to fly the drone up there

[@tarzan12345]

@1:44 you guys are drinking "Rượu". In Vietnamese, it's a general term for liquor, wine or the vast majority of (stronger) alcoholic drinks, other than beer. This term is usually used with another word to be more specific. For example, "Rượu vang" means "wine", "rượu tây" covers most types of distilled beverage from the Western world (literal translation: western liquor") or "rượu thuốc" means some kind of medicinal liquor (usually they put herbs, some types of roots or even snakes in the liquor). In this case though, it's highly likely that you guys were drinking "rượu gạo" (literal translation: rice liquor). It's distilled from white rice and Ninh Binh is very well-known for this kind of liquor. Keep it up guys. Really enjoy your videos.

[@MarkAmanda]

Ahh, thanks for the info! We were confused because we were trying to research Rượu but saw that they were a bunch of different types. It tasted pretty good, but it was great to have a drink with the locals, they were funny and friendly

[@bh2anthelazy843]

If u come to "Huế" ,i think u can try "bánh lọc" ,"bún bò huế","bánh nậm","bánh bèo" ,it so so good yayyy, u can visit "Cung Đình Huế" - place famous in vietnam

[@MarkAmanda]

Thank you for the recommendations :) 💜Amanda

[@Edgesofearth]

- Totally wicked landscape! Wow! Jealous lol I looked all over, but I didn't see the King out there swingin' on any mountains lol 🦍

[@MarkAmanda]

Haha thanks gawd we didn't run into him 🙈 💜Amanda

[@VietboyGamerUSA]

Very nice vid man keep up the good work.

[@MarkAmanda]

Thanks man! More to come

[@AnthonyTadle]

Look who's first!!! It is the king Kong location.. thats bad ass.... You two rocks! Hope yo see you in NYC ..

[@MarkAmanda]

This place was insane, could definitely picture King Kong roaming around crushing shit

[@AnthonyTadle]

The NYC Couple looks so sick

[@jawadvlog86]

Great video guys

[@MarkAmanda]

Thank you very much!

[@icedcarlo]

Gaggle of Geese... I just learned something new. Thank you Prof. Mark.

[@MarkAmanda]

HAHA, this is my life! 💜Amanda

[@rishabhmagdum7494]

hey great vlog there. Is it worth visiting ninh binh after ha long tour ?

[@tamanna003]

Nice video again. Can you tell me how to reach Hanoi from Ninh Binh. And have you done this tour in one day?

[@MarkShermanvlog]

EPIC! Even on the cloudy day :) You guys are hilarious too, love the whole helmet discussion lol. Dude I need to get something like that pocket wifi thing, do you have a link to where you bought it? Oh and where you do find your music?

[@MarkAmanda]

Haha, thanks! That helmet situation was pretty hilarious, it was crushing my brain! We got the pocketwifi at goo.gl/cKovG3 and we get all of our music from Epidemic Sound. We used to use Artlist, but they have a small library and ran out of choices quick.

[@froggymedia1615]

I'll be going to wherever that place is someday. I will. The view is breathtaking. Good job guys.

[@MarkAmanda]

It's in Tam Coc Vietnam... Hopefully you'll have time to do the water tour :) 💜Amanda

[@socialreject2156]

Better go soon mate, because it'll be crowded over time since tourism is getting larger everyday

[@defyme1464]

What is that dragon doing there? I thought it was the great wall. Hehehe

[@defyme1464]

Look who's late! LOL

[@MarkAmanda]

And I'm late in responding 🙈 💜Amanda

[@Tloc103]

I’m going there with my girlfriend in May. So you would stay more near Tam Coc rather then Ninh Binh city? Motorbike is the only way to get around? How hard was the climb? Any more helpful tips?

[@MarkAmanda]

There was more businesses that cater to tourists near Tam Coc. The climb up was pretty easy, we did it in sandals, although would recommend shoes/sneakers

[@jonathonthomas1707]

Amanda getting gnarly for the gram. I was wondering why you were flip flopping up that mountain. Damn Instagram. 😂

[@MarkAmanda]

Haha, Amanda is a trooper! I don't know why, but she goes along with a lot of my stupid ideas which is why she's perfect for me :)

[@defyme1464]

That helmet really bothered you, Mark. Hahaha, I think it can fit me.

[@TRAVELINGMATHIEU]

good stuff guys...dope video

[@MarkAmanda]

Thanks man!

[@AlfredSD]

If there's only one place I can visit in Vietnam, it would Ninh Binh in exactly that weather (sorry, I know you two didn't like it cold) 😅 I've been wondering what exactly that dragon statue is called for the longest time now. Those views are just amazing!

[@MarkAmanda]

The weather wasn't actually that bad, looking back, if it were sunny and hot it probably would have been worse.

[@AlfredSD]

The NYC Couple Exactly!

[@bjf5151]

Hey mark your helmet is for toddler..😂😂😂😂omg Amanda you got tricked ..now you have the toddler helmet 😂😂😂

[@MarkAmanda]

Hahaha! I guess that means I don't have a giant head like I thought 😄 💜Amanda

[@defyme1464]

Long walk. Hehe I can see the muscles in your knees. :-O

[@MarkAmanda]

Haha!

[@luatsenpai5105]

Wow cool

[@MarkAmanda]

Thanks 💜Amanda

[@defyme1464]

Did you see king kong hanging up there on the cliff?

[@kimmysayers5419]

hi! I;m planing a trip, here, what time of year did you go??? we will be going in July and I'm curious if it will look like this or not! can't tell if July is good for views or bad because of rain. thanks!

[@bh2anthelazy843]

[@MarkAmanda]

[@pilipinay3186]

[@rachaelt1858]

[@RedzDevil07]

Where are the new videos ?

[@MarkAmanda]

Sorry, it's coming =/ We've just been hanging out with family so haven't had much time to edit. We're trying to finish one now but it's really long so may have to push it to tuesday morning... we'll see, you may wake up to a surprise if you're in the states :) 💜Amanda

[@RedzDevil07]

Thanks for the reply Amanda.

[@overlordcubing4503]

[@rachaelt1858]

[@yinyangchronicles8313]

You guys always have the awesomest vlogs.Hope you got time to check out our channel too( not as awesome,but Im trying my best lol).Happy travels!!!

[@lischris8800]

Amazing shots! We had no idea Ninh Binh is so beautiful!

[@MarkAmanda]

Oh you guys didn't make it there?

[@lischris8800]

We actually didn't have a lot of time in Vietnam. After Hanoi and Halong, we went back south to Danang and HCMC. We'd definitely like to go back and explore more of the north though!
