Vietnam's Venetian Village: Life in a Floating House 🇻🇳
■ LAN HA BAY, VIETNAM: The coolest and by far the most unique place I have uncovered in Vietnam is the floating village community of Lan Ha Bay (next to Ha Long Bay). There are several of these but only one I've seen you can actually live in.
These are not tourist traps or set up for that purpose. The floating homes in these fishing villages have been there for 600 years and people live there even today. That is also what makes them so great as it gives foreigners and incredible opportunity to see how people live and thrive out in these coves.
Having only spent one night in this floating village upon my previous visit, I was eager to go back. This time however I was not going to make the mistake of only staying for one night.
I wanted to paddle a traditional plant woven boat. Hunt Gongo. Scale one of the mountain peaks and also get a closer look at the lives of the locals.
I decided 3 nights would be needed to accomplish said tasks.....

He was so happy when he saw the beer. 😊 The man deserved it for being so kind to you.

We appreciate the honor of having you take us along on your journeys. No other channel shows travel like you. Thank you
The Vietnam series as a whole has been great, this video in particular is spectacular content. I think these are the best videos you have done since the Nepal trips. The Vietnamese people seem so kind and genuine.
throwing the fish at noodles was the single most greatest moment in youtube history I hope he's finally forgiven it
Whoever designed that floating home, much respect 👍 Lots of details went into making it awesome & beautiful.
in my eyes there are no "fail" videos from harald, everything he puts out i'm watching with joy!
You have a gift with people Harald. What a beautiful place. Thanks for all the effort to get the shot on top of Mt Northman. What you do is an art and not easy. Thank you sir.
What a good guy, rowing all that way to show you boots so you could be more comfortable on the shore...
So relaxing, watching this vlog. Always brings me comfort and happiness to watch Harald's journeys. The "deleted" scene was really lovely to see, very relaxing as well. These Vietnamese people are so lovely.

Northman, you are an adventurer, not just a KZreadr. From climbing hills in Nepal to exploring Vietnam, you bring a unique perspective to KZread. Instead of simply chasing trends or showing off, you reveal new places and experiences for others to discover. Your journeys inspire viewers to explore beyond the ordinary, rather than just following the other sissy on the latest hot food trends.
I have been watching Harald for years and his is the only channel whose videos are as good now as they were when I started. Always always always keeps me engaged and interested. A true gift/talent. Not to mention every time he visits a country it almost always goes on my list of countries I want to visit. Thank you Harald. You are a true treasure.
Great to see more incredible video from our favourite youtuber! The best coverage of any vlogger on the web! Well done Harald!
I just got back from Vietnam after spending a week in the country. I was absolutely blown away with the hospitality and how genuine the people were there. One of my favorite places i've ever been to and I can't wait to go back.

Halong Bay is an excellent example of karst topography. It’s formed by the dissolution of limestone. The fabric of the rock that you climbed is called phytokarst, where dissolution is enhanced by organic acids from plants, algae, and fungi. The notches that you see right at sea level (where the woman was harvesting little snails) are wrongly referred to as “wave-cut notches.” You can see that there’s no wave energy. The notches are formed by bioerosion, where snails, urchins, chitons, clams, etc are actually rasping away at the rocks to eat the algae that grows in that intertidal zone. Vietnam is awesome. 🇻🇳

To what do ascribe the strange sound the rocks make when crashing together? Also they were way heavier than normal rocks I encounter in Himalayas or Europe. Is this normal for limestone?
@jhumphre
Ай бұрын
The limestone rock “flakes” make a pleasant/strange ringing sound when banged together. Other rocks will do this, too. It’s just that the karsted limestones make that flaky form. Limestone is made of the mineral calcite, which is relatively dense at 2.7 g/cm^3. Btw, just got back from Norway (Trondheim, Bergen, Stavanger, and Oslo). Holy shit it’s expensive. Beautiful, but now I have to sell rocks by the side of the road.

It's really nice to see that you're still the same as you used to be and not taken off because you've found great success.
I admire how raw, real and genuine you are Harald. You are one of a kind! Thank you for sharing all your adventures with us
Tough people climb on the sharp rocks... Insane Viking Harald climbs on the sharp rock then places the camera there and goes back down to the start to film it 🤯
Such a gorgeous country with amazing people for some good old fashioned Herald Exploration and Herald Invasions!
Really enjoyed this video. Love the way you are filming and get in touch with the locals. So refreshing compared to other travel videos. Thanks a lot!
Really happy you were able to extend your stay around there. The regret of not having more time there was evident from the way you spoke in the last video. Glad it worked out!!!
Thank you for taking us on this amazing adventure! You're hands-down my favorite vlogger.

Watching you climb Mount Northman had me worried for you. Literally climbing a wall of jagged stone spears, most likely infested with poisonous creatures. All while half naked. Fireball mountain was bigger , but this mount Northman was butt puckering .Legendary awesomeness man 10/10 . Just stay safe so that we can keep watching you do the things most of us can't do.

Actually the lady told Harald take picture of Oyster is kind and helpful, how honest she is. She negotiated for him in very detail, plum, orange, drinks only cost 2 Dollars, local price not for tourist. She said: “Let him buy those items under 50,000 Dong” How nice she is because she did not let the saler boat rip him off.😊❤!
