Thank you for watching this video - we appreciate that you are here! We can't wait to show you around Hoi An in our next video, so please make sure to subscribe if you don't want to miss out on what most people say is Vietnam's nicest city! Have you been to Vietnam yet? How did you enjoy it? :)
a lot of things that we think are Chinese, by the way, are of Vietnamese origin. new year, lunar calendar, Chinese horoscope, wet rice cultivation, cotton, silk, chopsticks, house with curved roof. paper, gunpowder, cannon, dragon, junks ...are of Vietnamese origin . in the past vietnam is 10 times bigger than now their ancient writing dates back to over 12,000 years ago. it is the oldest civilization in existence. over 2,500 years ago, they went to polynesia, australia, guinea, hawaii, and all of the southern china sea. “han” china has only known the sea for less than 2250 years. to know a little more about the origin of their writing and their civilization: diakhoi.blogspot.com/2012/05/discovery-of-lac-viet-writing-in.html in English taobabe.rocks/ancient-lac-viet-writing-in-guangxi/ www.chungta.com/nd/tu-lieu-tra-cuu/thuy-to-nguoi-viet-thuc-su-o-dau.html hoangvanlac31.blogspot.com/2018/09/chu-viet-co-khoa-au-tu_15.html?m=1
I didn’t know Vietnam has so beautiful palace, and the Vietnamese food looks super delicious and special, I really want to go there and try all! I’m from China and I love Vietnam!😁❤️🇨🇳🇻🇳
Hi Mo! You can always visit your smaller neighbour next time you are looking for a trip ;) Vietnam is really nice. Really different from China but we love them both!
Naick & Kim Thank you, 😊I will keep watching your awesome videos, they showed me many great guidelines of travel. I will definitely visit some place you visited in the future!
@@mocuishle3519 that is so nice to hear Mo, thank you so much! We have a few more places in Vietnam coming up and then we are going to Thailand! So excited for that too!!
This is so awesome you guys are living your best life and I get to vicariously experience the places on my bucketlist with you both. Thank you for sharing!
So excited for you guys to go to Hoi An!! We went last summer and it was incredibly beautiful! Can't wait to watch your next video. We're currently traveling through Central America for a year and have been posting videos on our RUclips Channel as well :)
@@NaickKim We started in Guatemala in early October, and have visited Antigua, the areas surrounding it, Lake Atitlan, Semuc Champey and Coban. We're currently in Santa Ana, El Salvador. In about a week we're moving on to Nicaragua for 4 weeks before heading back to Guatemala.
That's a difficult question :) we both loved China. It really surprised us. We will definitely be going back there, no doubt. I (Kim) would love to visit Tibet
Hey loving the videos.. maybe break your journey in Nha Thrang on the way south ..is the sailing club on the beach still there ?? We ( myself & my wife ) started off doing some research on the trans Siberian railway but we have travelled where you are going .. You both mentioned Thiland ... What about . Laos ...????
We were going to visit Nha Trang but there is actually a hurricane there at the moment. So we decided to detour to Ho Chi Minh instead and save the beach for Thailand ;) we would like to visit Laos too, that will be for next time! We love scuba diving and in that respect Thailand is the best :)
amazing video. just sad looking at the comment section, so much ignorance about vietnam. vietnam has been independent for over a millennium before the french invaded us and made the whole culture into a bit of a mess. this is chinese influence in vietnam, same as in korea and japan. the influence can differ depending on the region and the time period it got in contact with china. if you understand a bit about east asian culture, you can easily spot the differences in the techniques and style using for these structures compared to china, korea and japan. if you go to korea or japan, do you say that they belonged to china or they were copy cat of china? please have some respect.
Btw, they are not Chinese characters, they are actually Vietnamese written in strokes ( like Cantonese and Mandarin now) before Portuguese came and changed our writing system as the Latin one we use now
They are Chinese character, the Vietnamese version is called Chữ Nôm which was never used widely. Here are some important informations about this script en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ch%E1%BB%AF_N%C3%B4m
@@vokha3870 do you know what is chu nho? My parents used to tell me that we used to write and read chu Nho but I do not see any information on it. Only Chu Nom and Chu Han.
as the history culture in last time, the emperor not allow the local king built same size palace as his one, even small one to be built should approved first by centre emperor, otherwise , it will get trouble back to kingself. but if you have seen this one have already in vietnam , usually it means good relation between king and emperor.
There were multiple architects-the rest were Chinese. However... since there was ONE Vietnamese architect in a sea of Chinese architects, that somehow makes the Forbidden City “Vietnamese”? Or less Chinese? This is Korean-style cultural thievery lmao. Go claim something indigenous to Vietnam and stop trying to lay claim to another culture’s achievements.
@@elijah7387 the whole plan Nguyễn An made and again say what ? Korean-style. You know that back to that age Korean was one of Qing vessels then ? Funny how trying to steal a style, a culture from a vessel :'3
@@zongshunliang9928 oh I see, yes indeed, there would be A LOT more people at this spot if this were in China haha. When we were in Beijing's forbidden city, there were people E-V-E-R-Y-W-H-E-R-E :p but that is one of the most famous palace complexes in the world, so it's understandable :)

Damian N chữ Nho ( which means writing of Confucians) is just another term for chữ Hán.
thats like saying the alphabets used in english are not latin alphabets.
Amazing value for your stay $ 7 including BF for a double bed great deal, wish you had shown us your room too!!!
Yes, Vietnam is really affordable. Loved it there.
So beautiful 👌😍
Yes it was 😍
It rained all the time I was in Hue. :D
We spent a few days in Hue in the pouring rain before we were treated to this sunny day haha :)
Rain and flood are a part of Hue. The humidity can be 99% in the rainy season (October to December)
Hi Kim, long time no see, how are you doing ?
Hi Hans, doing great & loving Vietnam! The heat here is stiffling though haha. How about you? 😊
I like old building that haven’t been renovated
We liked the crumbling buildings too. Makes you feel like you are going back in time :)

What is the difference between Vietnam and China?
Vietnam have PHO
China have WONTON soup
Hue Citadel is 520 hectares while the Forbidden City is only 72.
Interesting! It is really huge indeed :)
i was so worried for kim that naick might have gobbled her up...
How do you mean? :D
Naick & Kim, the sandwich
@@chaulam6135 ahahahaha ok I had already forgotten about the sandwich situation :D no, fortunately I survived ;) hihi
Naick & Kim 😆
You should visit India.
I am waiting for your India vlog.
We will visit... soon :) #2020
India is a country of sexual assault， Very dangerous for women
Most of them got destroyed in war
Yes, that's quite unfortunate!
👍❤🇧🇩
greetings back from Vietnam!! :) thank you for watching!

Vietnam used to have a palace much bigger and more magnificent than here but.......war and time......
The forbidden city in Beijing is built by a vietnamese architect.
Oh really who was it?
