We are going to Vietnam for the third time in two weeks. We are only going to Hanoi and Ninh Binh this time and we will stay for 12 days. We are super excited. Thank you for these tips.
I've been to Vietnam 5 times in the last 10 yrs & I totally agree with your assessment of Hanoi. I love S.E.Asia & the region is my #1 destination but I also loved S.Korea & Tokyo.
Great video, thank you sir! Myself and a friend are coming there the first week in October, we are both photographers and we're looking forward to seeing Hanoi so much!
I have been to Vietnam top to bottom, using domestic flights and I have not found any destination in SEA as satiating as Viet. Food, locales, Infra and peopple are commendable for a tourist. Probably this is one country which will make you think of multiple visit bcz there is so much to explore.
i agree ive been once, saigon, can tho, cu chi, hanoi and da nang, didnt see all i wanted so going to go back, some february when its cooler, hoping to see hoi an, hue, halong bay, pleiku next time,
Brilliant video. One of the most honest and well-informed travel videos I've seen. markjones (below) used the word "nuanced" and that perfectly sums it up. It isn't just a list of facts about things; it's how those things are experienced. I really appreciate the human input as, for example, saying how using local buses can be daunting. It's just the sort of thing that many of us feel but few cool-and-trendy travelogue presenters would say. Many thanks to the presenter.
This is a very well balanced video! I've never been a fan if Vietnam except the cuisine, sorry just being honest and after seeing the disadvantages I know why. But I still would like to visit Vietnam.
There is an incorrect information about air polution. In fact, industrial zones in Bac Ninh does not cause such bad polution in Hanoi. The air quality in Bac Ninh and other provinces near Bac Ninh are much better than Hanoi. Second, in the winter, the humid is till very high and it is wet from Jan to March. Because of humidity and fog, the air polution gets worse. There are serveral days of dry weather, the sky will be clear and air quality is much better.
Look, even in the hyper-clean Japan, you can find litters. The biggest difference there is they pick up rubbish on the street and dispose in the rubbish bin. They are very conscious of keeping it clean, so they don't want see dirty mess in the public. But, there are many houses full of garbage and hoarding, too. Chaos and uncleanness is the synonyms of the Asia, especially South East Asia!
the tour guide in Ninh Bihn is quite annoyed I had my face mask on, I want to say that I am coughing and my throat and nose is irritated by the air. well, I know he will be annoyed so I did not say anything and just went back tot he bus

I don't completely agree with you, in HN or HCMC you can live based on your spending, it can be cheap or expensive relative to your choices. There're always luxurious hotels, restaurants, shopping malls, neighborhoods if you'd like to spend.
As a Vietnamese, it’s a shame I admit that Vietnam could be more enjoyable if the people stopped throwing garbage everywhere, sold food with hygiene and safety. Unfortunately, this mindset passed down from one generation to the next and it’s deeply rooted in the culture. Sad.
Throwing trash is Singapore the fine is $150 dollars. Vietnam needs some basic laws like people handling food have to wear gloves, fine for peeing in public, littering, ride bike on sidewalks, time of the day to put their garbage bags ....Either government officials are incompetent or they do not know how to do it. You can why in the rich neighborhoods are always clean because they hire workers to take care of their environments.

There will be new videos about Hanoi, Bangkok and other Southeast Asian destinations. So please subscribe my channel and don't miss them!
I spent a few weeks in Hanoi back in 2018. I enjoyed my time there. Ha Long bay was amazing.
Thanks for this. So refreshing to have a nuanced analysis of both Hanoi's joys and downsides. I'm traveling there next week and this helps a lot.

Da Nang is a great medium sized town, very modern and clean. Check it out!

Great job good information and well written
I loved hearing about the street food scene in Hanoi. The $3 Buncha sounds like a steal! How do you find the best food spots amidst all that madness?
Excellent content creator

Absolutely LOVE Vietnam 🇻🇳
Hey, very interesting and comprehensive overview, thanks!
Very honest video, kudos!
Just moved to Philippines after 10 yrs in Saigon. Have spent time in Hanoi, but prefer the Southern ones.
thanks video. Would it be your advice to get a hotel in the old quarter? And would the tour agencies be available there? thanks.
Interesting information and good video 👍
Useful, honest. I like it. Ciao from Rome!
Agree Hanoi great but you should mention best time of year to visit. Jan has been cold this year, Tet now so April -june best😅
I like cold. Planning to visit in Feb but I guess have to put up with the air pollution cuz no rain 😢
How about that street with the train running straight through it while you sit there eating only two feet from the train thundering by.
Nice video thank you. What's the name of the soup with lots of beef?
are you talking about Pho or Bun Cha?
Thankyou very informative
Omg, What a "65m Motorbikes" in Vietnam? lol
This is the BEST! Thank you!!

Lol, first time I have seen plain tasting food without complexity is a positive.
Buying Viagra in Hanoi is more expensive compared to Saigon

Why most of foreigners visit Ha Noi first that is the worst Vietnamese place for Traveling.....
what is wrong with you? you spam comment like this everywhere.
Low cost, mean low quality of life

It's not deeply rooted. They need training to change their mindset
Is sad that you just talking crazy 😛

Police will tell you the fine is 150$, give me 20 and we set
