>It seems comfy and I do have a motorbike. Thanks anon.
Part of me wishes I could teleport right back, freeze time and "try it out" living there for months on end. I wonder who I would meet, if I'd find high a high level bilingual speaker, a small friend circle, etc.
6.5hr and (light) mountain road travel from a major airport is serious separation from the outside world. I'm not even sure there are many areas one could do that in USA while also not being in the middle of nowhere desert like the stretch hours east of Vegas Nevada. This town IS that far out there and somehow has 3-4x the population of my hometown clustered within its comfort.
I wasn't sure quite how to articulate what I saw and felt there, but I'm glad I got the message across in an appreciable way. As you can see from the images, the city butts right up against these green mountains, a river flows through, they have some traffic circles to manage flow. A building or two hint of modernity in their styling, while in no way dominating the scene.
Things are largely residential, functional, but nice enough.
To speak of other places worth pilling on: I enjoyed the people in Nam Dinh and many spoke english. The city is not as isolated nor naturally beautiful and is within the blast radius of some tourism crossfire while not right in it.
My other "sleeper pick" that was visually comfy-in-memory was "Thái Nguyên". And if someone is out there already, Tuyên Quang is just another 1hr40min to get to and offered a simple peaceful small city experience.
These tier 2, but still populated, vietnamese cities are some of the comfiest things I've ever seen on the planet. I toured around in 2017, so idk if they're getting globohomo'd but their physical isolations/language barrier offer some natural resilience.
