we are up bright and early today because it is our last day here in Ninh
Binhbut before we leave there is one more thing we have to do
so we're staying in this small town called Tam Coc
in Ninh Binh and we've been told by many people including some of you
to make sure we hike up to the Hang Mua viewpoint it has the most stunning views of Ninh Binh okay
but before we head up there we're gonna make a quick stop in town
grab some lunch so we can enjoy it once we get to the peak
banh mi sounds good sounds good which one uh are you gonna get
grilled chicken banh mi i think i'll get barbecue pork
that also looks really good over there what are they grilling a whole chicken and
pork belly oh man no that's uh that would be hard to eat yeah we should stick with a sandwich
yeah so the town of Tam Coc is very cute and charming you can see a lot of restaurants around
a lot of guest houses because it is probably the most popular place for people to stay when they
come to Ninh Binh there is also a famous Tam Coc boat tour that is over there but because we've
already done a boat tour we're going to skip that and go to the hike instead a dollar each banh mi
and these ones were 15 000 each wow we're talking in different currencies though so 50 cents
i think the caves are just over on that side oh ducks look at the ducks
it's quite bumpy over here but wow it's so beautiful
oh you can see it from here so i have read some google reviews that said people will try
to stop you and make you pay for parking but keep going and go through the gates and park in there
so i think so it's free then yeah i think it's here or i think it might be like 10 000.
yeah this is good because it clearly shows it's 10 000 for a motorbike thank you
if you're above um this line you have to pay one hundred thousand i'd gladly pay
a hundred thousand i don't want to be under this line
two tickets please
i think a lot of people hike up there to take beautiful instagram photos
and wedding photos yeah and you can rent like pretty dresses and skirts see babe are
you sure you don't want to rent any of these dresses i know like it doesn't look like it's
really hot but it's actually really hot i don't think i can wear that i can you can
the grounds are quite beautiful down here and it's because it's also an eco lodge you can see these
uh bungalows behind us so you can stay here um we didn't check the price uh because we stayed near
the rice fields but it does look very beautiful and you're kind of surrounded by mountains
and i guess it's the perfect location because you can just wake up and go straight up to the peak
for a sunrise do your morning exercise so we're here at the point where we have to choose between
a viewpoint or cave first viewpoint viewpoint first yeah okay let's do it
wow really
can't even talk really out of breath yeah
man there are 500 of these steps to go up we only did like 20 steps
oh there's two pagodas babe this one up there i think that's the lower one and
the highest one is up there so there is a name for this trail here they call it the
miniature version of the great wall of china looks like it i've been to the great wall
of china before me too look just like this just a thousand times bigger i was gonna say
you know how the mountains here look so perfect yeah they look like they're just
out straight off the painting yeah it's very different from like the color is different from
Thailand mountains yeah that's the road we took
to come here and see how high up we are already and we're only halfway up i don't understand how
people were wearing wedding dresses even hoodies yeah makes no sense oh my gosh dead
oh wow look at this path looks insane the rocks at this last part here is kind of uneven and you have
to be extra careful you okay yep so maybe don't wear flip-flops when you come here and wear like
sneakers sneakers will do no flip-flops no wedding dresses
crazy
oh
wow beautiful for this view it's actually not that long of a hike i think it took us maybe 30 minutes
to get up these steps it's super worth it you can see all of Ninh Binh city over there
you can see the rice fields of Tam Coc village see a lot of these other mountains amazing isn't it
okay i gotta clean up a little bit so i can look nice because i think that is one of the iconic
photo spots just watch how she poses so you can learn how do you look dry and not sweaty
yeah should we get some yeah i think i want uh give me a lemon tea okay so before we head up
to the next pagoda here there is a little rest point here where they sell ice cold drinks and
ice cream it is a little bit more expensive but they got us we need those drinks right now
oh that's much needed sugar tastes so good this tastes like a carbonated gatorade
oh so good though just one straight path up let's do it
the steps here are knees high look at this
oh and they built these tiny steps too but they're so small that it's almost too scary to use them
almost there good job is it worth it it is okay
498 499. 500. we we made it we made it and look at this view guys wow that's incredible
seems like we can still go up through here is there anything up there yeah
okay and then where do we go here this way
oh my goodness
oh
wow
oh it's nice and warm pretty good cheers
mmm it's pretty good oh you see the boat there this is where you can do another boat tour right
yeah i mentioned earlier that you could do a boat tour that starts in the heart of the Tam Coc area
and then they take you through the red river here and i believe you go through three caves
they say this is a perfect time to do this tour because of the rice fields looking really green
can you hear it yeah after spending a couple days in the countryside here
in Ninh Binh we really recommend you guys coming here if you're coming to Vietnam
especially if you are going to Hanoi because this is only a hundred kilometers away
thank you so much for watching and as always have a wonderflo day
are you sure what does Tam Coc mean three
caves
