How to get to Vietnam from Chengdu

As a fellow who is currently in Vietnam, I would like to give you the following advice:

Starting from Chengdu, you can enter Vietnam from Yunnan or Guangxi. Yunnan is the Hekou port, and Guangxi is the Youyiguan and Dongxing ports. At these two ports, ordinary private passports require visas at the Vietnamese Consulate General in Kunming and Nanning (it is currently unclear whether the Vietnamese Consulate General in Chongqing has started operation). Ordinary, official and diplomatic passports do not require visas, but exiting the country An exit certificate issued by the unit is required. From the Hekou crossing to Vietnam Lao Cai, there are trains and cars to the capital Hanoi; from the Friendship Pass to Vietnam Dong Deng, there are cars and trains to Hanoi; from Dongxing to Mong Cai, there are cars to Halong Bay and Hanoi.

Personally, I feel that prices in Vietnam are not cheap. After all, it is a tourist country. Prices should be similar to those in China, unless you dare to eat in civilian restaurants frequented by Vietnamese. If you don’t speak Vietnamese, you will have to pay attention when purchasing. Get ripped off more by merchants. The more money you can bring abroad, the better, but it cannot exceed the limit set by customs. Currently, there are some banks and ATMs in Vietnam that accept UnionPay cards, but generally not many. The RMB is really difficult to use. US dollars and euros are accepted, but it is best to go to a gold store to exchange it for Vietnamese dong. At the end of December, 1 US dollar was exchanged for about 19,500 Vietnamese dong.

Vietnam tourism recommends entering from the north, from north to south, in order: Sabah, Hanoi, Halong Bay, Hue, Da Nang, Nha Trang, and Ho Chi Minh City. 10 days should be enough, of course it can only be Take a quick look around.

Pay attention to food hygiene when going to Vietnam, especially to prevent mosquito bites. Use mosquito repellent on exposed skin when going out. Sunglasses are a must.

Be sure to only use bottled drinking water, tap water is prohibited!

Having said so much, would you like to give me some points?
