Where is the most convenient place to go to Vietnam?

What are the main ways to go to Vietnam?

Currently, you can leave the country through Dongxing Port, Beihai Port (sea route), and Nanning Pingxiang Port in Guangxi. You can also apply for a passport to leave the country through major ports in my country. However, from the perspective of tourism and sightseeing itineraries, general groups and individual tourists mainly arrive at Beihai to participate in sea routes (higher comfort) or transit from Beihai to Dongxing.

Notes:

1. When traveling abroad, it is very important to have a LONELY PLANET travel book. This book can guide you in detail on how to reach each city and Food, clothing, housing and transportation. You can find this kind of books in Hanoi Old Street in Vietnam and Pham Lao 5th Street in Saigon. They are both gathering points for foreign self-guided tourists. There are many such second-hand bookstores, with introductions to various countries and regions. The price of second-hand books is 6-10 US dollars (depending on the newness and thickness). Of course, you can also choose pirated ones, which range from 4 to 8 US dollars. Although the printing and pictures are not as clear as the genuine ones, at least they are new and the price is relatively cheap. And you can bargain in these stores.

2. If you leave the country from a land port in China, you must prepare a health certificate and epidemic prevention certificate. It is mainly checked at China’s exit ports. If you have not prepared in advance, you can go to the quarantine station in local towns (such as Dongxing and Pingxiang) to apply for it, and the cost is about 188 yuan/person (Dongxing). Of course, this will take up most of your time (physical examination and laboratory tests).

3. Try not to cause trouble abroad, but don’t be afraid when trouble comes. Especially in relatively corrupt countries such as Vietnam and Cambodia, blackmail and extortion by local officials are very common, so you must be good at protecting them. themselves and safeguard their own interests.

4. Vietnam and Cambodia are both tropical countries. Sunscreen and sunglasses are necessary, and mosquito repellent is also essential. Many family hotels do not have air conditioning and mosquito nets, and there are many mosquitoes. Most of the buildings in Angkor are high and steep, and many of the stairs can only be climbed using both hands and feet, so it is very important to bring a pair of well-fitting hiking shoes. TEVA sandals are very suitable. Almost all foreign self-guided tourists have a pair.

5. English is widely spoken in Vietnam and Cambodia, especially in some foreign gathering places, the locals can basically talk to you in English. As long as you can master some daily conversations and some English words, it will be enough.

Itinerary 1: Vietnam (March 6--March 24)

The time difference in Vietnam is one hour behind China, 1 yuan (RMB) = 1840D (Vietnamese Dong) , 1 US dollar = 15000D

Halong Bay (HALONG CITY)

After meeting in Nanning on June 5, four of us set off for Dongxing at noon. From Dong Hing exit to Mong Cai, there will be many motorcycles at the Mong Cai checkpoint to take you to the station, where there are buses bound for Halong Bay. Motorcycle taxis cost 2￥. Sometimes they will take you to a farther station but charge you 15￥, so be sure to make this clear in advance. It takes 5 hours to drive from Mong Cai to Halong Bay. There are mountain roads along the way, with many twists and turns, but the scenery is good. The ticket is 23 yuan.

There are many people in Halong Bay who understand Chinese, and RMB is also in circulation. VUON DAO STREET is a gathering place for foreigners. There are many family-style hotels with prices ranging from US$6 to US$12 per room. Guests can take a look first. I'll make a counter-offer after checking out the room. Walking ahead are bars and restaurants.

It is usually a chartered boat to visit Halong Bay. You can contact your hotel directly and they can help you arrange it, but you must negotiate the price. It is about 500,000 dong/8 hours, 280,000 dong/4 hours, lunch is not included. These boats are relatively good and can accommodate more than 20 people, so the more people there are, the cheaper it is to share. The longer the time, the more attractions you will visit, but generally 4 hours is enough. We rented a boat for 8 hours and took a whole day. The scenery was relatively the same. By the afternoon we basically slept, which felt like a waste.

You can take the SHIN COFE bus from Halong Bay to Hanoi. It takes about 4-5 hours and the fare is 4 US dollars per person. This is a travel company that specializes in serving foreign tourists. The bus condition and service are very good. .

Hanoi (HANOI)

Hanoi is a small and colonial city with many towering trees and French-style buildings in the streets. Compared with Saigon, which is too commercial, There are more traditional ethnic characteristics here, and the folk customs and public security are also better. But the proliferation of motorcycles is also one of Vietnam’s characteristics. You can also see many characteristics of Chinese culture here. In the early days of Vietnam, Chinese was used, so the temples and ancestral halls were completely Chinese-style and used Chinese characters. Even now, Chinese Spring Festival couplets and New Year pictures are posted on the door of every house, which often makes people feel like they are in China.

You can rent bicycles and motorcycles for travel in Hanoi, and every hotel in Lao Cai provides them. Bikes cost $1 a day, motorcycles $4 a day. But Hanoi is very small, so I think bicycles are the best choice. I rode a bicycle to visit all the scenic spots in one day.

There are many travel agencies in Lao Cai where you can buy tickets for SHIN COFE’s OPEN TOUR. This is a combined bus for foreign tourists. The service is very good. Along the way, it passes through Hue, Hoi An, Da Nang, Nha Trang, There are six cities in Da Lat and Saigon. You can pick up and drop off at will in each city. You only need to reserve a seat 8 hours in advance before departure. The ticket price is 28 US dollars. There is also a T at the moment. M BROTHER's connecting bus fare is 26 US dollars, but the bus condition and service are not as good as SHIN COFE. So be sure to ask clearly when buying a ticket, otherwise the travel agency will do something different.

Hue (HUE)

It takes 14 hours to drive from Hanoi to Hue. Because the scenery along the road is average, most backpackers choose to take the night bus. Departs at 7 o'clock and arrives at 9 o'clock in the morning. You can enjoy the sunrise over Vietnam’s fields on the road and save money on a day’s rent.

Hue is the ancient capital of Vietnam. Here you can mainly visit the Imperial City, visit the Xiangjiang River, and see the imperial tombs. Hue is a beautiful and quiet ancient city. There are also many family hotels here. SHIN's cars will take tourists directly to the door of the hotel. The room price is about US$6-12 (double room).

Hue is not big and has various sceneries
