Forget Ha Long Bay - come here instead | TAM COC Vlog

Tam coc is one of the most beautiful towns in Vietnam. With its high jutting limestone landscape it’s also referred to as the ha long bay on land. Today we visit Hung Mua to hike up to the top for one of the best views in Vietnam
We love recommending travelers visit this area on their trip to Vietnam mostly due to its proximity to Hanoi, stunning natural attractions and a variety of beautiful accommodations for any budget.
We recommend staying 2-4 nights in the area to be able to enjoy the hiking, river tours, pagodas and caves that are all just a scooter ride away.

ABOUT US:
We’re traveling full time, living on our own terms and showing you the up-close-and-personal details of us figuring it out along the way. Sometimes it’s about navigating big, life-altering decisions. Sometimes it’s about navigating the seemingly lawless free-for-all that is driving in Hanoi. It’s moments of triumph and moments of panic. The good, the bad, the ugly - and most importantly, the real and real funny.
We’re not here to tell you “how it’s done.” Just how we’ve done it. And that whatever it is that’s calling you - the way you’ll do it is much more attainable than it may seem. We believe the world’s a more interesting place when people reject convention in favor of what they actually care about. This is us putting that idea to the test - one budget spreadsheet, RV renovation and mountain-peak drone video at a time.

Kien Giang is almost the very southern part of Vietnam. It's so beautiful they even wrote a song for it. There is Phu Quoc and other beautiful islands close by Kien Giang that you should also check them check. KIÊN GIANG MÌNH ĐẸP LẮM is the song. Thanks for another cool video TIM and FIN!

    It is informative video, I have been to Tam Coc 3 times and really want to comeback because it is very beautiful place. From Tam Coc it is very easy to go to Cat Ba island with bus or limosine car. From Cat Ba island you can visit Lan Ha bay and the less touristic of Ha Long bay. it is worth to do that. We hope you will be back to Vietnam, especial to visit Lan Ha bay and Ha Long bay.

    You can either take bus or ride bike yourself. It is around 70 miles from Ha Noi to Ninh Binh. Bus would drop you along side of highway and you would take a private motor bike or taxi to Tam Coc (where hotels, hostels, a town of food there special famous goat dishes) you can rent a motor bikes or bycicle to go around. Trang An is a must for a boat ride to experience the beauty and tranquility of this area. There is a huge pagoda called Bai đinh. Cuc Phương- National park is on the west area. This is on my top list area for another come back.

    "Forget Ha Long Bay" - You're joking but you're right ! - Ha Long, There're only islands and water. In Tam Coc (and Trang An) , "Dried Ha Long" you have everything - island, water, cave, rice field, river, mountain, many nice people, you can take tour on boat or bike, many beautiful and famous places and... good food.

    You're right about the trash, I saw lots of it during my travel in Viet Nam too. I found that very disturbing and frustrated. The same with this issue in the States, now with COVID-19 - we have a new kind of trash: the discarded masks and the gloves on the streets, bushes and sidewalks. Trash cans are everywhere also, but people would just drop them where they stand, I hate these irresponsible and lazy people. Bạn nói đúng về rác, tôi cũng thấy rất nhiều trong chuyến du lịch ở Việt Nam. Tôi thấy điều đó rất đáng lo ngại và bực bội. Vấn đề này ở Hoa Kỳ cũng vậy, giờ đây với COVID-19 - chúng ta có một loại rác mới: khẩu trang và găng tay bỏ đi trên đường phố, bụi rậm và vỉa hè. Thùng rác có ở khắp mọi nơi, nhưng ho lai vứt chúng ở nơi họ đứng, tôi rat ghét những người vô trách nhiệm và lười biếng nay.
