Travel guide to Myanmar and Vietnam

Myanmar and Vietnam are typical Southeast Asian countries, but Vietnam is deeply influenced by Chinese civilization and Myanmar is greatly influenced by Indian culture. The cultures of these two countries are very different, but they are both good tourist destinations. Here is a detailed strategy for you.

Myanmar (Southeast Asian countries)

Climate:

The best travel time is from 65438+February to the following February. This is the dry season in Myanmar. Light rain, temperature 17-3 1 degree. It will be a little hot and cold at noon in the morning and evening, but it will be cool as long as it is in the shade. Direct sunlight has strong ultraviolet rays.

Visa and customs clearance:

1. Sticker visa can be applied at Myanmar Embassy in China (Beijing) or Myanmar Consulate in Kunming, or travel agency, or Taobao agent, with different visa fees. The visa period is usually seven days. Secondly, you can apply for an e-visa online, and the e-visa time is three days. Much cheaper than stickers. In addition, Myanmar has opened the landing visa to tourists from China. Stickers and electronic labels are valid for 90 days and can stay for 28 days. If you need an extension, you must go through the formalities at the immigration office.

Mantu International Airport has been put into use. The tourist visa clearance is very fast. It usually takes 2-3 minutes to enter the country. You don't need to fill in the entry and exit cards and customs cards. Customs inspection can only scan baggage security.

Currency:

Rmb 1 yuan is converted into 2 15 kyats, and USD 1 is converted into 1500 kyats (if you want to travel to Myanmar, you must exchange USD at a domestic bank. There is a blue ribbon in the middle of the new dollar, otherwise it may be collected. Secondly, the dollar you carry must not be folded, damaged or defiled, otherwise it will be rejected in Myanmar.

Entry and exit policy: When traveling to Myanmar, the Myanmar government implements the policy of "entering the air and leaving the land", that is, planes enter and leave, and cars enter and leave. However, picking up the car must be organized by a travel agency, and individuals are not allowed to enter or leave.

Materials: passport, valid visa, appropriate amount of cash, round-trip air ticket, Myanmar hotel (hostel) travel list (print random sampling).

Four scenic spots in Myanmar: Mandeli, the ancient kingdom and the old capital, Thousand Buddha Temple and Thousand Buddha Pagoda, Mosaic Lake and Yangon.

Transportation: You can take buses and planes between the four scenic spots, but it is not recommended to take the train, which is not generally slow. You can rent motorcycles, electric cars, bicycles, bagan and carriages at the scenic spots. A two-seater car.

Myanmar is an agricultural country, and Hinayana Buddhism is the national religion of Myanmar. You need to wear slippers to enter the temple. Because there are too many times to enter the temple every day, wearing flip-flops is the first choice. You can't wear shorts, short skirts or strapless shirts when entering the temple.

Accommodation: Please book a hotel for free travel. As tourism revenue is one of the important revenues of Myanmar government, your room reservation includes tourism tax and management fee. Compared with domestic hotels, if you pay the same money, the room area in Myanmar will be smaller and the facilities will be simpler. You must get used to it and don't complain, but the room is definitely clean and the customer service will try its best to help you.

Myanmar is safe. Its people are hardworking, kind, simple, kind and gentle, and they are also very good to the people of China. Traveling to Myanmar is very convenient, primitive and beautiful. But I don't know why, so far, few China people (including tour groups) travel to Myanmar, and most of them are European and American tourists.

Viet Nam

1. Visa: You must apply for a visa in China. It is very convenient to get a visa in China. Just take a photo on the front page of your passport. Visa on arrival is not recommended. You have to fill in complicated forms, tips and so on temporarily.

2. Take a taxi from a regular taxi company, and look for the taxi fleet of Mailin Group (with' 08.38' printed on its body) or Huanglong Group (with' 08.68' printed on its body) dozens of meters to the left of the airport exit. Some staff there will ask where to go, you can show them the name and address of the hotel, and then they will hand over a complaint business card of the taxi company with the license plate number written on it, telling them that taxis are charged by the meter. Black cars are easy to be blackmailed, and because we have no concept of money when we go abroad for the first time, we often can't count the money for a long time.

Four. Exchange rate: 1 RMB =3000 VND. Divide the face value of Vietnamese dong by three zeros, which is the value of RMB.

Verb (abbreviation of verb) Traffic: Grab a taxi software Google Maps Navigation.

Note of intransitive verbs: Vietnam is full of swindlers who shine shoes. After wiping, they will ask you for money. In short, don't talk to people who are too enthusiastic.

Seven. Don't look down at your mobile phone when you walk, especially single women. There are many motorcycle robberies in Vietnam.

Eight. Folklore: Vietnamese temples, churches, palaces and high-end entertainment places are recognized as formal occasions. When you enter, you should dress dignified and tidy. You shouldn't wear topless, slippers, shorts, mini skirts, sleeveless tops or other inappropriate clothes. When walking in the street, you should pay attention to avoid the sacrificial supplies placed on the street. You shouldn't trample on Vietnamese, they are very sensitive to the number 3. When taking photos at scenic spots, you should avoid taking photos with three people, let alone one person.

Nine. Customs: Only 200 cigarettes and 500 ml of wine can be brought into and out of Vietnam Customs. China citizens do not need to fill in entry and exit cards when entering and leaving Vietnam, but they need to check their return air tickets. Chinese mainland Customs strictly controls the bird's nest carried by inbound passengers, and it is not recommended to buy it!

X. Public security: The political situation in Vietnam is generally stable and the public security situation is good. However, there are also some thefts, and even some motorcycles rob bags. Most victims of violence are single women. Free escort is recommended.

Finally, a useful telephone number is provided, which is the assistance hotline of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China: 86 10 12308. If you encounter difficulties, you can contact the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for assistance as soon as possible.
