Being a Vietnamese, I disagree with some of the claims: No.1 - (Small dispute) - The French came the first time in the 1850s to colonize Vietnam and not the 1950s, the 1950s was the second time. The political influence of France in Vietnam really started in the 1850s. In the 1950s, they came back after the Japanese defeat in WW2 to reclaim their colony in Indochina, including Vietnam. No.3 - After watching the video and reading some of the comments, I can see why Vietnamese people were furious about having our ancestors related to the Chinese, who we have fought in defense of our country for the entirety of our history. No.8 - I agree that people who were involved in the Vietnam War are more likely to suffer from PTSD. However, this video starts talking about PTSD in the Vietnamese population and ended up talking about US policies on helping American veterans combating PTSD(?!). No.10 - (Small dispute) - About the flavors, it's plain in the North, spicier in the Middle, and sweeter in the South. Being a Southerner, I think I'm quite bias, though.
vh90278 thanks for the info. I actually know this and that’s why I commented “political influence” to mark the success of the French invasion rather than just “influence” in general. It’s funny that your comment reminds me of the place my father used to work, which is situated on Alexandre de Rhodes street in today Ho Chi Minh City. Thanks.
Ho Chi Minh's birthday IS NOT a national holiday. However, Ho Chi Minh passed away on 2/9/1969, which is also Vietnamese Independence Day (2/9/1945, much coincident) , so 2/9 is a national holiday.
I can't stand how wrong no.3 is. Legend has it that the princess (Au Co) is from the union of the Lac Viet & Au Viet and none of which is Chinese. Please have your facts checked when it comes to sensitive subjects as this. It's undeniable that our culture is strongly influenced by Chinese; however, it's absurd to say that we came from them, that we're originally them. We are not.
Cindy Rose It depends on the family as a number of Vietnamese families are originated from Chinese and have Chinese ancestry. Of course not everyone and every family, but in my family's case for example, we have Chinese ancestry.
Hoàng Nguyên Like I have said, I cannot speak for all Vietnamese but only for my own family. However, you cannot deny that a number of Vietnamese do have Chinese ancestry but of course not all. Yes Vietnamese are ethnically diverse as I found out I am very mixed and am only about 49-50% Vietnamese. I like being ethnically diverse though so was happy with my results.
Vietnam is not a mixed of Japanese. Japan merely came for a brief moment, and no major cultural influence from Japan exists in traditional Vietnamese culture.
I know china probably has the biggest influence in Vietnam. I'm from vietnam but both my parents are half viet half chinese. Does anyone know how many of vietnamese people on average are chinese mixed ?
More facts about Vietnam from a Vietnamese resident: - Most of us (~70-80%) are atheists. Some practice Buddism but they arent registered as Buddist on their IDs. - Women's right is very equal here. Women can dress whatever they want, ride/drive everywhere. Women are expected as much as men to go to college and earn a good job. - Hanoi has the highest number of foreign residents. - Vietnam is one of the countries that has most motorcycles in the world. - The "Son Doong" cave in Quang Binh has been recorded as the deepest cave in the world, with nobody who has actually gone through the whole cave. - The world think we hate Americans, but nah, we love them now, while we hate being called Chinese most. - Businesses thrive here in Vietnam! - The largest and most beautiful island: Phu Quoc Island! N many more... :)

MEP Mathematics Let me tell you, smart people know the way to control them self, to not to do stupid things that not only hurt your self but also people around you, they also know what's the best way to develope their community, nowaday Vietnam's doing a great job to boost the economy with the crazy speed, our government focus on the center's cities because they are not stupid enough to put the heads of the economy next to the enemie's boders, that's why borders provinces are not rich, and not developed (if you can understand what i mean) Don't bring your hatred to throw back to your country if you still calling your self Vietnamese. I'm Vietnamese, i don't like China but i'm not stupid, i'll fight them at the right time i choose. Not because some one tell me things that even they can't confirm the infomations they have are true or not. tips: You should learn the difference between "civil war" and "invade". Cheer! hope you will find more books and documents to improve your knowledge, may be some day you can build your own country. LOL!
Vietnamese cuisine: south - sweet central - spicy north - salty south west - half cook/juicy central highland - mixed. north west - smoked meat, stew, wild vegetable (most of them are herb, that's why north west Vietnamese are more healthier than others), (they also farming vegs but not usually).
the video mentioned that the gov imposes tax and fines if you have more than 2 kids. A consequence from that is that women seek out to have abortions. The video did not state that the government forces abortions.
"Vietnam is one of the most visited cities in South Eastern Asia" Seriously? It is the first video from this channel I watched and 30 seconds in this...
Ling DaSweetPie Not everyone as my mom always told me and my brothers that we are of a mix and Chinese origin which is true for some families to some extent. I did my DNA test and it was what my mom said, I am partially Chinese along with other ethnicities besides Vietnamese.
Actually, a lot of Vietnamese people hate chinese very much but they have at least one or two ancestors were chinese. Moreover, some founders of Vietnamese dynasties were chinese in origin ( Tran dynasty) and they became Vietnamese .
@Trinh Nguyen "It is true for some families" BUT NOT ALL. Vietnamese never deny the fact that some Vietnamese has Chinese origins and in fact back in the day a number of Chinese came to Vietnam by boat to escape the ancient dynasty war in China and our king under Nguyen Dynasty allowed them to stay in Vietnam and later they went further to the South of Vietnam to explore new land along with other Vietnamese also some Chinese came to Vietnam to do business and trading stuff and later decide to stay. BUT you have to KNOW that our ancestors from the begining were NEVER and NEVER have Chinese origins or even have a Chinese blood, Ling DaSweetPie was talking about the princess"Au Co" whom are the mother of all Vietnamese, you should do more research on that, it called "the tale of Lạc Long Quân và Âu Cơ" to understand what she is talking about. Vietnam is a very diverse country which it has 54 different ethnic groups and Chinese is just one of them, the matter fact 80 % of the country are Vietnamese or "Kinh" people are the majority group. It is cool knowing that you are partly Chinese and other ethnicities not just Vietnamese BUT I encourage you to learn more about Vietnam and the history of Vietnam since now you are partly Vietnamese and having a Vietnamese last name
My parents are Vietnamese, I was born and brought up in England. Last summer I visited there, for the first time in 18 years and it was magnificent, I really enjoyed it! Thanks for doing a video about them because most the facts on this video, I discovered too
Vietnam's history is rich and evocative, which has fascinated many people worldwide. According to ENCYCLOPÆDIA BRITANNICA, "Relatively little is known about the origins of the Vietnamese. They first appeared in history as the so-called “Lac” peoples, who lived in the Red River delta region, in what is now northern Vietnam. Linguistic research, which offers a relatively reliable way of distinguishing the various ethnic groups of Southeast Asia, supports the mixed ethnic and cultural provenance of the Vietnamese people. Modern linguistics places the origin of Vietnamese in the Austronesian language group (Non-Chinese people) on the basis of similarities in morphology and consonant clusters. It is largely this linguistic link that has led scholars to speculate that Austronesians formed at least a part of the Lac population. Although Chinese civilization later became the main force in shaping Vietnamese culture, the failure of the Chinese to assimilate the Vietnamese people underscores the fact that strong elements of an authentic local culture must have emerged in the Red River valley long before China established its millennium of rule over Vietnam."
Julien Oppenheinmer In addition to its delectable cuisine and breathtaking scenery, Vietnam has a quite intriguing history. Studying world history, you'll notice that Vietnam has never lost any wars to any foreign invaders. Even the mightiest army in human history of the Mongol Empire met its match - the Vietnamese when beginning its southward expansion at the end of the 13th century.
VietNam,It's a great. I really like everything in VietNam from foods, places to people. With me,I love VietNam foods,it's delicious. In VietNam, there so much traffic: so many car, motorcycle... I think the Vietnamese woman is very beautiful and wonderful, the man is so handsome. Generally, I love VietNam a lot
I think no.1 most diverse, beautiful and cheapest country in the world should be Vietnam because of these reasons: Vietnam is just a small countries but it has many records: the biggest cave in the world (Hang Son Doong), most beautiful waterfall in Asia (Ban Gioc waterfall), the deepest cave in SEA (Hang Cống Nước), the deepest gorge in SEA (Hẻm Tu Sản), the longest lava tube cave in SEA (Hang C7), most beautiful bay in the world (Ha Long Bay), steepest natural waterslide in probably the world (Tà Ngào waterslide), largest sand dunes in SEA (Mũi Né), the only and most beautiful volcanic island in mainland SEA (Lý Sơn island), and despite being a country in tropical region, Vietnam has snowfall every year in winter (Sapa).
You are not correct...the Vietnamese Soldiers and NVA are just as human as everyone and have PTSD (even lasting until today) as all Soldiers do after being in war. PTSD never goes away.
The Forbidden City of Hue remind me of the Forbidden City of Beijing. Halong Bay limestone cliffs are very beautiful. I think they were shown in The James Bond movie Man with the Golden Gun.
Never heard the Chinese princess story. Vietnamese came from 2 Baiyue tribes: Au Viet and Lac Viet, not Han people but no doubt a lot of Vietnamese have Chinese blood mix since Chinese ruled Vietnam for a long time. Japan only ruled Vietnam for a short period of time and they didnt have influence on the Vietnamese culture as the Chinese and the French. Wonder how they got their info.
Snake meat and snake blood are also great. , we have alot of things to shink with Wine such as: tradictional herb, hole snake, organs-removed snakes,Scorpion, chameleon,a specific bird.... all of them are healthy.
I intent to watch some clips 15 things of other countries but I want to check what they know about my country Vietnam and after watching Alux.com work about Vietnam I change my mind.

What ? "Legend has it that people from Vietnam are descendants of am immortal Chinese princess" . As a Vietnamese myself i have no idea what's she talking about lol
the most interesting thing about Vietnam is land ownership.. the people do not own the land they live on. you buy a house, and the house is yours. but not the land. and that land can be confiscated. and many, many people have had their lands confiscated in Vietnam today. without reimbursement.
We’re not descendants of any Chinese princess. Âu Cơ is a fairy princess (mythical bird) from heaven, representing yin, and Lạc Long (Sea Dragon God from earth, represent yang). Their unification is that of heaven and earth, yin and yang, gave rise to 100 offsprings. As the children get older, they need to make their own living, Âu Cơ took 50 of their children to the mountain ... giving rise to the various highlander tribes, Lạc Long took the others towards sea, giving rise to other tribes. The moral of the story is that no matter what ethnic tribes the Vietnamese are from, we are of the same ancestor, coming from the same womb, thus, we should love everyone like family. The Chinese originate from nomadic people of the north. They had no agriculture and had to forage and hunt for food all the time to keep themselves fed. There’s no way they could have developed any form of culture when harsh winters prevented them settling down. It you can’t meet basic biological needs of shelter and food, what tradition/culture can be developed? Of the so-called 1000 years domination reigning over Vietnam (years 111-939), the Chinese have yet to succeed in assimilating Vietnam into being their people. We are proud to be descendants of those who kept true to our people and kicked those nomads out of our land. Please wiki Battle of Bach Dang. Why is the Chinese so fixated on annihilating the Viet? They want to make the stolen culture taken during their years of domination rightfully theirs. We’re the descendants of fairy and dragon, not some dumb Chinese princess.
My mom is Vietnamese and is the 9th child of the family and the family never paid any fines, my dad is the 4th child why my uncle has 3 children, none of our family had to pay any fines
I think that you need to check your information in your video before you up it on the internet because some things you talked in this video is incorrect.
Can you get the facts straight. 1-The first woman of Vietnam is a fairy, not a princess and 100% NOT Chinese. 2-None citizen like Ho Chi Minh and they don't like communism. The government forces them to follow. 3-Also, Vietnamese doesn't eat Pho when they are sick. It's not good for digestion. They eat chicken or pork rice soup when ill. 4-People are not forced to do abortion. They are encouraged not to have many children. 5-Also, Vietnamese was not mix with Japanese culture. They were only there few months. 6-Vietnamese people like brightening skin, not white skin ton. They consider white skin ton is for death people and they disgust by it.
I stopped watching it moments into the first one. It states that “The French came over in the 1950s...” At least one thing you don’t know about this video - that statement is wrong. The French colonized Việt Nam in late 1880s. The French lost a decisive battle at Điện Biên Phủ in 1954. Some historian pointed to the beginning of colonization in 1850s which makes it a 100 years under the French. Which makes more sense because Vietnamese people wrote songs about thousand years under the Chinese and 100 under the French.
actually, the government in Vietnam just encourage citizens that they should have 2 children and they not ban. in fact people in Vietnam has more than 2 children or 3 children. :)
And about fact number 4, the goverment once adivce everyone that it's best to have only 2 children but there is no particular restraint ( unless you are a goverment employers, then you wont be promoted )
I'm a Vietnamese and I should say number 3 is not correct. In our culture, the Mother named "Au Co" and the father named "Lac Long Quan", they met each other and have together 100 eggs. The mother then took 50 eggs to the mountain and the father took 50 eggs into the sea. This is how Vietnamese people, as a myth, born. We were not Chinese even though we do influenced a lot by our neighbor China after millennium of being dominated. I'm not talking politics here, just want to confirm about the myth.
You may have mistaken, in the first thing, the image you give is a peace, that is where the Japanese and Chinese have come to trade and build them, not all Vietnam. Vietnam is influenced by French architecture, to Hanoi old town you find that very easy. But it is only a very small part of Vietnamese culture
First of all, ITS A COUNTRY! Second, My uncle and aunt have 4 kids and NEVER had issues. My moms friend just had a kid in 2017 and it was her third one
OOF I’m sort of Vietnamese yeah Vietnam is really harsh to live it’s very hot there and if you can’t afford a air conditioner you have to have a fan but it’s barely will do anything also a lot of bugs come to your house and many bite you like I got a lot of bites from the bugs and mosquitos but I’m proud to be a Vietnamese person
Number 1 is quite wrong. Only Hoi An, a small city is influenced by Japanese culture. The Vietnamese culture is influenced by Chinese, India and French cultures.

Ho Chi Minh's birthday IS NOT a national holiday. However, Ho Chi Minh passed away on 2/9/1969, which is also Vietnamese Independence Day (2/9/1945, much coincident) , so 2/9 is a national holiday.

Agree! They Should re-edit this video before things go terribly wrong since it is involved culture and national pride of a country.
Exactly! I am so angry to see that! what a stupid fact! I wonder where did they hear that story from ?
Cindy Rose It depends on the family as a number of Vietnamese families are originated from Chinese and have Chinese ancestry. Of course not everyone and every family, but in my family's case for example, we have Chinese ancestry.
Read the Linh Nam Chich Quai book and stop commenting shit like this.

Nice video, but I think the no.3 is not correct. The princess's name was Au Co, and non of our historical books have mentioned that she was chinese.
same as my thoughs
The no.4 is not correct neither, the government never forces anyone to do abortion.
oh yes, i didnt notice that. we dont have that policy

Viet Nam is a country, not cities.
A must visit country
Many times, China and France want to assimilate Vietnam but the Vietnamese are very good at preserving national identity
Nói thật là quá khứ cứ lôi lại. Nó đi đô hộ VN đấy cháu, có gì tự hào mà cứ lôi lại. Giàu mạnh, giỏi mới đang tự hào.

I think no.1 most diverse, beautiful and cheapest country in the world should be Vietnam because of these reasons: Vietnam is just a small countries but it has many records: the biggest cave in the world (Hang Son Doong), most beautiful waterfall in Asia (Ban Gioc waterfall), the deepest cave in SEA (Hang Cống Nước), the deepest gorge in SEA (Hẻm Tu Sản), the longest lava tube cave in SEA (Hang C7), most beautiful bay in the world (Ha Long Bay), steepest natural waterslide in probably the world (Tà Ngào waterslide), largest sand dunes in SEA (Mũi Né), the only and most beautiful volcanic island in mainland SEA (Lý Sơn island), and despite being a country in tropical region, Vietnam has snowfall every year in winter (Sapa).
I am Vietnamese and I know about... almost anything about Vietnam.
We love our beautiful country. And we are proud of being Vietnamese 🇻🇳
#8. I think that's about the Vietnam War Vets from America, not from Vietnam.
You are not correct...the Vietnamese Soldiers and NVA are just as human as everyone and have PTSD (even lasting until today) as all Soldiers do after being in war. PTSD never goes away.
The Forbidden City of Hue remind me of the Forbidden City of Beijing. Halong Bay limestone cliffs are very beautiful. I think they were shown in The James Bond movie Man with the Golden Gun.
😂 yes and "Tử cấm thành" means Death forbidden city, not forbidden purple city ( Tử has 2 or 3 diffent meanings )
*Being Vietnamese myself I was excited to watch a video on my country but I gotta say, I’m disappointed about all the wrong facts.*
It ain’t cities like wat?!?! Vietnam is the most visited CITIES?! Wow impressive.
Wow thanks you for your effort😄
As a Vietnamese, thank you for this video. This is a opportunity for foreigner learn more about my country
Never heard the Chinese princess story. Vietnamese came from 2 Baiyue tribes: Au Viet and Lac Viet, not Han people but no doubt a lot of Vietnamese have Chinese blood mix since Chinese ruled Vietnam for a long time. Japan only ruled Vietnam for a short period of time and they didnt have influence on the Vietnamese culture as the Chinese and the French. Wonder how they got their info.
Snake meat and snake blood are also great. , we have alot of things to shink with Wine such as: tradictional herb, hole snake, organs-removed snakes,Scorpion,
chameleon,a specific bird.... all of them are healthy.
0:31 city?
I’m confused, she said it was a country seconds ago, which is correct, and now she mistakes it for a city.
Vietnam is my city.
Nicholas Nguyen this is
Ha Noi City
england is my city
I intent to watch some clips 15 things of other countries but I want to check what they know about my country Vietnam and after watching Alux.com work about Vietnam I change my mind.
I think no.1 most diverse, beautiful and cheapest country in the world should be Vietnam because of these reasons: Vietnam is just a small countries but it has many records: the biggest cave in the world (Hang Son Doong), most beautiful waterfall in Asia (Ban Gioc waterfall), the deepest cave in SEA (Hang Cống Nước), the deepest gorge in SEA (Hẻm Tu Sản), the longest lava tube cave in SEA (Hang C7), most beautiful bay in the world (Ha Long Bay), steepest natural waterslide in probably the world (Tà Ngào waterslide), largest sand dunes in SEA (Mũi Né), the only and most beautiful volcanic island in mainland SEA (Lý Sơn island), and despite being a country in tropical region, Vietnam has snowfall every year in winter (Sapa).
0:30 Did you just say Vietnam was one of the most visited “cities?” After you said country
Wow! Amazing Vietnamese invented the ATM !!!
JD : Yup :)))
Thanks you for another awesome videos about Vietnam... it’s very informative, I learned a lot in this video.
Vietnamese fast food stores sell rice, vegetables and other spices to with thier foods
Jackson's Happyladd project was abandoned for years. Construction wasn't completed and cattle now roams the area.
Oh and fact number 3 isn’t true! First of all the princess is not chinese, second of all that was just a made up myth
What ? "Legend has it that people from Vietnam are descendants of am immortal Chinese princess" . As a Vietnamese myself i have no idea what's she talking about lol
the most interesting thing about Vietnam is land ownership.. the people do not own the land they live on. you buy a house, and the house is yours. but not the land. and that land can be confiscated. and many, many people have had their lands confiscated in Vietnam today. without reimbursement.
Ho Chi Minh actually the first president of North Vietnam. Back then the country was divided into two like Korea.
Vietnam is one of the most visited CITYS
We’re not descendants of any Chinese princess. Âu Cơ is a fairy princess (mythical bird) from heaven, representing yin, and Lạc Long (Sea Dragon God from earth, represent yang). Their unification is that of heaven and earth, yin and yang, gave rise to 100 offsprings. As the children get older, they need to make their own living, Âu Cơ took 50 of their children to the mountain ... giving rise to the various highlander tribes, Lạc Long took the others towards sea, giving rise to other tribes. The moral of the story is that no matter what ethnic tribes the Vietnamese are from, we are of the same ancestor, coming from the same womb, thus, we should love everyone like family. The Chinese originate from nomadic people of the north. They had no agriculture and had to forage and hunt for food all the time to keep themselves fed. There’s no way they could have developed any form of culture when harsh winters prevented them settling down. It you can’t meet basic biological needs of shelter and food, what tradition/culture can be developed? Of the so-called 1000 years domination reigning over Vietnam (years 111-939), the Chinese have yet to succeed in assimilating Vietnam into being their people. We are proud to be descendants of those who kept true to our people and kicked those nomads out of our land. Please wiki Battle of Bach Dang. Why is the Chinese so fixated on annihilating the Viet? They want to make the stolen culture taken during their years of domination rightfully theirs. We’re the descendants of fairy and dragon, not some dumb Chinese princess.
It's good to go there once not twice.
She just said that Vietnam is one of the most popular CITIES in Asia 🤦♂️
Every Vietnamese must know this: the language "Vietnamese" is created by ALEXANDER DE RHODES not Uncle Ho or other Vietnamese.
Duong Anh Phung I know 😊
Duong Anh Phung Not the language. It is the writing system.
It's the "WRITING" system, the original Vietnamese (Nôm) was actually made by Vietnamese.
the writing system.
What about Son Doong Cave located in Quảng Bình, Vietnam. It is the world's largest cave.
Fact 4, I never heard of it, isn’t that law only on China
Ami Pham from what i hear its government workers who arent allowed to have more than 2 kids, or else they face fines
My mom is Vietnamese and is the 9th child of the family and the family never paid any fines, my dad is the 4th child why my uncle has 3 children, none of our family had to pay any fines
Ami Pham yeah. I’m Vietnamese and my grandma had 5 children in Vietnam
Yasssss where are my Vietnam squadddddd???????
Nice video;) , my relatives in Vietnam constantly ask my family to move back to vietnam
Hi i am vietnam person trust me here i have proof
Đồng Nai là việtnam.ViệtNam a Chữ S :)
Vietnam will soon become the richest nation in Asia and will certainly overcome China in term of economy
Vietnam is a cultural mix of chinese, french, japan and usa. you didn't know that, admin
Jerry Boy...yes...lots of half American kids (white, brown and black) got born in the late 50's to mid 70's.
Vietnam is one of the most visited CITIES... wow 😶
I was immediately surprised to learn that Vietnam, Cambodia, and Thailand are cities! It's hard to take you seriously when you say such things.
Hey Vietnam is a country, not a city! Get your facts straight
Start watching at 0:30
Ami Pham, England is my city.
The french came over in the late 19th century, 1950 was the second time, Jesus !!
I think that you need to check your information in your video before you up it on the internet because some things you talked in this video is incorrect.
Can you get the facts straight.
1-The first woman of Vietnam is a fairy, not a princess and 100% NOT Chinese.
2-None citizen like Ho Chi Minh and they don't like communism. The government forces them to follow.
3-Also, Vietnamese doesn't eat Pho when they are sick. It's not good for digestion. They eat chicken or pork rice soup when ill.
4-People are not forced to do abortion. They are encouraged not to have many children.
5-Also, Vietnamese was not mix with Japanese culture. They were only there few months.
6-Vietnamese people like brightening skin, not white skin ton. They consider white skin ton is for death people and they disgust by it.
Thank you so much i am Vietnamese and i felt really proud of my country
I am from Vietnam 🇻🇳
Wow =))) “Vietnam is the most visited CITY” so maybe the U.S. fought with a city during Vietnam War. Interesting =))))
Also, KFC has been in Vietnam since 2008. I ate at one when I was in Ho Chi Minh when I was younger.
I stopped watching it moments into the first one. It states that “The French came over in the 1950s...” At least one thing you don’t know about this video - that statement is wrong. The French colonized Việt Nam in late 1880s. The French lost a decisive battle at Điện Biên Phủ in 1954. Some historian pointed to the beginning of colonization in 1850s which makes it a 100 years under the French. Which makes more sense because Vietnamese people wrote songs about thousand years under the Chinese and 100 under the French.
Actually the Frech came in 1858
Good work alux!😊
Thank you!
On this planet called Earth, we are all visitors!
vietnam is a country, not a city
Stopped watching after she called Vietnam a city, Yanks really know nothing about geography
actually, the government in Vietnam just encourage citizens that they should have 2 children and they not ban. in fact people in Vietnam has more than 2 children or 3 children. :)
And about fact number 4, the goverment once adivce everyone that it's best to have only 2 children but there is no particular restraint ( unless you are a goverment employers, then you wont be promoted )
I'm a Vietnamese and I should say number 3 is not correct. In our culture, the Mother named "Au Co" and the father named "Lac Long Quan", they met each other and have together 100 eggs. The mother then took 50 eggs to the mountain and the father took 50 eggs into the sea. This is how Vietnamese people, as a myth, born. We were not Chinese even though we do influenced a lot by our neighbor China after millennium of being dominated. I'm not talking politics here, just want to confirm about the myth.
You may have mistaken, in the first thing, the image you give is a peace, that is where the Japanese and Chinese have come to trade and build them, not all Vietnam.
Vietnam is influenced by French architecture, to Hanoi old town you find that very easy. But it is only a very small part of Vietnamese culture
vietnam is so beautifulll
Who els is from Vietnam because I’m actually from Vietnam
As always awesome videos and thanks for the information ALUX ❤
The video was awesome. It really make me think to try a visit to Vietnam. I am really amazed. But I would never dare to drink snake venom wine.
i'm a Vietnamese and i've never heard of the fact #4, a family can only have 2 children
Alux, please make a video: 15 Things You Didn't Know About NAPALM. Thank you!
First of all, ITS A COUNTRY! Second, My uncle and aunt have 4 kids and NEVER had issues. My moms friend just had a kid in 2017 and it was her third one
0:31 "Vietnam is the most visited city"
Okaaay, right.
OOF I’m sort of Vietnamese yeah Vietnam is really harsh to live it’s very hot there and if you can’t afford a air conditioner you have to have a fan but it’s barely will do anything also a lot of bugs come to your house and many bite you like I got a lot of bites from the bugs and mosquitos but I’m proud to be a Vietnamese person
I want to visit vietnam. Hope to visit soon.
Number 1 is quite wrong. Only Hoi An, a small city is influenced by Japanese culture. The Vietnamese culture is influenced by Chinese, India and French cultures.
Thanks Alux😘😍❤️ I'm going to to visit my country this May😍😍😍
A good well researched video, have visited Thailand and Cambodia but not Vietnam yet must go!
Viet Nam is a beautiful country .There are many special things alux not mention. Coming here and discover it.
Me as a Vietnamese: *reads title* boi u misunderstood me
I am Vietnamese not kidding and I love being a Vietnamese
