HA GIANG LOOP | The Most Beautiful Part of Vietnam

[@datgal2u]

What makes it interesting is how those mountains look. Unlike huge mountains you'll see in most countries where there is a slow gradual incline, the northern mountains in Vietnam are more dramatic and there's more of them. In the past, Vietnam used to own land further into China, where I bet a lot of dramatic mountain scenery can be seen. I love those mountains/karsts on both land and water. When they go on for a vast distance, they are just so majestic and mystical in the fog/cloud/mists.

[@sawyer6555]

Im going to Vietnam in November. Cant wait, your videos have given me a ton of inspiration.

[@tuananhtranhuu]

From late Sep to early Dec maybe the best time: it is cool and dry and not cloudy in North Vietnam, but it is the dry season in the South

[@nuddleable]

That is brilliant--perhaps your best--the scenery is spectacular, the people are wonderful and the Aussie slang is priceless. Riveting --onya possums

[@markjohnson7352]

Tia, you have to come back to Australia. The Royal Australian Mint has just released 'A Big Things' collectable coin collection. Unfortunately they did not mint 'The Big Potato' 🙂

[@charlesemerson6763]

So much rain. Imagine what Australia would look like with that much rain. And those mountains, awesome.

[@AuntyJack123]

Hahahaha we do get a wet season in the north of Australia 😂

[@jasgem76]

Your drone footage in this video is spectacular. What an amazing part of the world. I had no idea it was so beautiful.

[@ngobody]

Your videos are so amazing! I am Vietnamese (born in the States). I love hearing how you all adapt so quickly to new places and culture. I went on a charity trip in Ha Giang in 2019. Since Ha Giang is up in the mountains, you will see a lot of ethnic minority people. Ha Giang is known for their sticky rice. It's very simple and you can see it sold out on the streets in the morning. If you can find it, try it. It's the best sticky rice I ever had. I hope Tia gets better!

[@PaulinAsia_]

Some of the most beautiful scenery I have seen. Thank You. Get well soon Tia.

[@robparsons1527]

Wow what a stunning mountain range, I've never seen one quite like it. Thanks for taking us along with you.

[@minhtranee]

After that Heaven Gate coffee shop, WOW … gorgeous and heavenly scenery. Hope Tia will be fully energized again on next clip.

[@colette-tj2gk]

Hope you felt better again quickly, Tia, and that it didn't spoil the day too much for you. That landscape is just so stunning, I think I might cry if I ever saw it in person

[@redhammer9910]

Stunning, nicely portrayed. What a great adventure. So many people have come back from Vietnam and speak with passion of the beauty and you certainly captured it, nice. Stay safe.

[@robyndehavilland1609]

Wow the contrast of going from Australia to this. Couldn’t be more different, so beautiful.

Take good care of yourself Tia ..

Just wanted to stop by and say that the attention to detail you both put into filming and editing your videos really shines through! Your B-roll, drone shots, and storytelling are next-level. Thanks for bringing us along! ☺

[@ronauliT-xx2ke]

Good road, many trees , mountain , the village, nice view, nice video. Those sharp mountain behind you is funny though. Enjoy your travelling guys and someday see in in lake Toba, Sumatera.

[@Shift0231]

If that’s Heaven’s Gate, count me in for the coffee and the scenery! 😊 Breathtaking vistas! I’m a waterfall gal myself too (the Aquarian in me?) so seeing them makes me happy as well! Feel better Tia!

[@claireb9430]

Can you buy Gaviscon there for times like that? My stomach would revolt eating fried food at breakfast, too. Stunning countryside and I love the children.

[@Tristan1380]

Hope Tia feels better soon! We loved seeing the amazing views, the mountains were beautiful and so unusual. The beautiful sky was a nice change from all the heavy rain and made the scenery more stunning! - Trist, Jazi and Alyssa

[@lumpialife]

Oh the memories of Ha Giang! Total sensory overload, huh!? Beautiful!

[@deebea6364]

Travelling around a lot between October - Jan! Will be going to VIC ACT NSW WA TAS and QLD!

[@geoff2196]

Wow, truly magnificent scenery, the mountains are just wonderful. Such a magical ride for you all on the loop, it's no wonder you were made to feel so small in comparison Tia. Keep up with the drone footage it really does add a much appreciated dimension to your videos. Hope you feel better soon Tia. Travel safe.

[@timcarr4673]

You could really see how different those mountain tops were in the second drone footage. They were more like jagged rocks or choc top ice cream tops than what we are more used to seeing in Australia. Still love how Tia sings to herself

[@Rohanhola]

Love the ambient sounds

[@DerekArmsden]

The quality of your filming is so good that I find myself leaning into curves and getting nervous heading into to twisty, wet bends. Add the excellent commentary and editing and you guys are nailing this KZbin thing. Content like yours is a major part of why I no longer watch either free to air or even subscription TV any more. Thank you. :D

[@stewartl5109]

I think what you had for breakfast described as a sausage is “nem chua rán” Common dish in Hanoi and a favourite for kids generally speaking but all over in countryside too 👍🏼 Recipe: 200 grams of shredded pork skin (about 7 ounces) 1 teaspoon salt 500 grams of minced pork (1.1 pounds) 2 tablespoons beer (any type will do) 1 small piece ginger, grated 1 tablespoon minced garlic 2 tablespoons sugar 2 tablespoons fish sauce 1 tablespoon cornstarch 1/2 teaspoon black pepper 1 teaspoon sliced chili 1 teaspoon lime juice Breadcrumbs Vegetable oil (enough for deep frying) Method: Mix the pork skin with salt, rinsing it well to remove the strong smell. Boil water in a saucepan and add the beer and ginger. Then add the pork skin, blanching it for 30 seconds. Don’t cook it for too long! After, drain it and spread it out on a surface to air dry. In a large mixing bowl, season your minced pork with the garlic, sugar, fish sauce, cornstarch, pepper, and chili slices. Mix it well and cover the bowl, freezing it for about two hours. Process the frozen meat in a food processor until it becomes a paste then combine it with the pork skin. Use your hand to mix everything until they’re combined well. Add the lime juice. Divide the meat mixture and wrap it into five-inch rolls, using cling film. Let it chill in the fridge for four hours. Add enough vegetable oil into a pan to cover your pork rolls. Heat the oil to deep-frying temperature (350 and 375 degrees F), then coat the pork rolls in breadcrumbs before adding them to the oil. Fry until evenly browned and the pork is cooked. As a snack this is a favourite of ours. You can buy but some ingredients differ from one street vendor to another! Many take shortcut! But if you make your own it’s REAL 😉👌 Enjoy the Ha Giang loop it’s breathtaking for sure . The videos are great guys. If you are still in Hanoi I can if you have time show you a few local gems to enjoy. Reach out 🙏🏻👌

Vietnam is considered a multi-ethnic country, made up of 54 ethnic groups. In Vietnam, the Hmong people are one of the largest ethnic minorities. Hmong ethnic group speak their Hmong language. They keep their own culture and religious beliefs. Their cultural dress is different from others and very colorful. Some Hmong people can speak both vietnamese and Hmong language, but mainly Hmong language.

I've been following you guys since the start of your Australian tour. It's been a pleasure following your travels and as a very amateurish videographer I'm impressed with your editing! Your drone shots have brought so much more to the videos and you know how to keep our interest up. The shots of random objects, trees, blossom, river crossing, etc make the subject of your videos come alive. As I have always found it difficult getting accompanying music that doesn't require a licence I'm guessing you are subscribed to a site as it is very fitting music :) What editing program are you using? Premiere Pro, Capcut or Clipchamp? Anyway, excellent effort putting it all together and the use(positioning) of your cameras is perfect. Cheers...Noel 😃👋👍

[@OnePackWanderers]

Thank you so much for the kind words, Noel! They're especially meaningful from someone who knows the challenges. That really improved our day 😊🙂 We use Epidemic Sound for the music in the videos and edit with Final Cut Pro.

[@PeteV.53]

Sorry Tia and Cheveyo, yet more advice coming your way. Take it from someone who has been riding scooters and motorcycles for 56 years. You are damaging your eyes. First, the constant pounding by the wind dries out the eye and tears cannot keep up with the lubrication . Second, any gnarly shaped insect hitting your eye at those speeds (not to mention a stone thrown up by a passing vehicle) can pierce the eyeball. If you don't like wearing sun glasses or have the visor down (and I get that) try buying a pair of the clear plastic safety glasses used as industrial PPE. They wrap around the edges so offer great protection at a very modest price. All that said, stunning scenery well captured by fantastic videography 👍

[@OnePackWanderers]

The advice is appreciated 🙂 I (Cheveyo) have the visor down whenever I’m not talking to the camera. Tia did eventually start doing the same. It’s really tough to convey that in the videos because we’re talking and so the visors are up 😅 But I promise the visors are generally down.

[@PeteV.53]

@@OnePackWanderers good to hear! Thank you for responding😊 I get claustrophobic with full face helmets so I ride most of the time with the visor up (when it's not raining) as I need the airflow over my face. However, I wear wrap-around, Wiley-X, goggles (great US brand!) that have a silicone gasket which seals against my face😎

[@OnePackWanderers]

Those goggles definitely look like the way to go next time. Tia gets the claustrophobic feeling with the visor down, so I think that would help a lot!

[@beautifully_wonderfullymade]

I had never heard of the term switchback before in Australia, do Aussies use this term? Anyway I had to look it up... so basically you are saying the road zig zigs, right?

[@Gordon_L]

The common term in Australia would be hairpin bend .

[@Shift0231]

Yes and in Aus we say ‘windy’ or ‘winding’ roads rather than ‘twisty’ or ‘bendy’ roads’ A ‘Twisty’ is an Australian cheese or chicken savoury snack (life’s pretty straight without twisties is their catch phrase 😂)

[@PeteV.53]

@Shift0231 you can't be an Aussie motorcyclist then? "Twisties" is a very common term for a section of road with lots of bends. Nothing gives us greater delight than to see one of those yellow road signs with a wriggly black line and an arrowhead at the end of it! ☺

[@OnePackWanderers]

Hey! The Ha Giang Loop is nice in that it doesn’t get a lot of traffic. So the road hazards are mostly to do with the quality of the road, and the weather. In comparison to riding in the cities of Vietnam, Ha Giang is much easier and in my opinion safer. But also at the end of the day, Vietnam is statistically one of the most dangerous countries in the world to ride in.
