💣Vietnam Travel Tips to Avoid Pitfalls
💚Tip 1: Getting a visa for Vietnam is not difficult, with support for visa on arrival (but you need to apply for an approval letter in advance), but the queue at customs can be quite long. It’s recommended to arrange it in advance through a domestic agency; the price for a single-month tourist visa is within 250 RMB.
💚Tip 2: A direct bus from Nanning to Hanoi has been launched, costing 188 RMB, with a total journey time of 7 hours. Tickets can be booked at Langdong Bus Station. Alternatively, you can take the high-speed train from Nanning to Dongxing, which takes 1 hour, or drive to the Dongxing border crossing and then enter Vietnam.
💚Tip 3: The exchange rate for RMB to Vietnamese Dong is approximately 1:3400. RMB can be used in North Vietnam, but it is generally not accepted in South and Central Vietnam, where most stores accept US dollars. Exchange in advance, do not exchange at airports or hotels as it is not cost-effective!
💚Tip 4: The sun in Vietnam is very strong, so make sure to protect yourself from the sun.
Bring a pair of good-looking, non-slip flip-flops that go well with skirts.
💚Tip 5: As rumored, Vietnamese customs officials often ask for tips. To avoid unnecessary expenses, prepare a note in your pocket written in English saying, “I need to call my embassy.” This method has been proven effective!
💚Tip 6: Two-pronged flat sockets in Vietnam are the same as those in China, but some use three-pronged plugs, so bring a power adapter.
