Is there a must-buy list for shopping in Vietnam?

Although Vietnam is not a shopping paradise, there are many things with local characteristics to buy. Let me introduce you ~

1, Miss Saigon perfume

There is only one brand of perfume originating in Vietnam: Saigon perfume. The perfume bottle is a slim girl wearing Aodai, of all colors and sizes. It would be a good choice to send it back to a female friend. Due to the colonial relationship, Vietnam and France have deep roots in perfume, and most of the raw materials of French perfume come from a large number of natural spices produced in Vietnam. Now, the Vietnamese people have independently developed high-quality and low-cost perfumes. The perfumes sold in some high-end shops in Hanoi are not much different from those in France in terms of packaging, fragrance and variety.

2. Vietnamese handicrafts-lacquerware and wood carving

The handicrafts sold in Ho Chi Minh City are excellent in workmanship, low in price and varied, which will make you picky. There are not only lacquerware and wood carvings, but also some hand-painted series, which can be given to friends or their own treasures as trustworthy or accompanying gifts. You can buy it in the ordinary market or on the stalls, and you can bargain.

3. Baihu Huoluo Ointment

Vietnamese folk secret recipe has been passed down from generation to generation, using famous herbs and high-grade medicinal materials. Adopting the latest scientific methods, through fine continuous and repeated separation process, it has become the purest high-grade ointment for external use. As a special analgesic ointment, this ointment takes effect quickly. Indications: rheumatic pain, backache, sciatica, arthritis pain, traumatic injury, cramp and sprain, with the effects of detumescence, removing blood stasis, relieving itching and removing spots, dredging channels and activating collaterals, etc.

4. Silk products

Silk is a traditional and special tourist product in Vietnam. Compared with the silk products mass-produced by modern industry, Vietnam's silk industry pays more attention to manual craftsmanship, and these silk products with a slightly rough surface just become the symbol of work cost and taste. Many European and American tourists come to Vietnam, where they will choose many different styles of silk products as gifts to bring back to China.

5. Vietnamese agarwood

Hoi An Aquilaria Resinatum is an exquisite tribute presented by the ancient Vietnamese king to the court of China, which shows its high value. Now the output is getting less and less, and the price is also rising, allowing illegal traders to make and sell fakes. So it is not recommended for inexperienced people to buy here. If you use it yourself, you can buy entry-level agarwood within $50.
