This summer, during the tourist season, the family chose to go to Nha Trang Island in Vietnam. It is said that Nha Trang in Vietnam is the little Maldives and the back garden of China. You only need one third of the price of Maldives to enjoy the corresponding scenery, so these two years are very popular. A group of eight people went there for five days. Although it was only a cursory look, the initial impression was hard to erase, so some things had to be spit out.
Is Vietnam a group tour or a free tour? Our family has always liked to travel independently, and we chose to travel with a group because there are many people on this trip, and we may have a bad impression on Vietnam from the beginning. Most group tours to Vietnam are relatively cheap, usually around 3,000 yuan, but in essence, group tours in Vietnam contain too many self-funded projects, and basically all the places you want to go are at your own expense. Of course, you can choose to go or not, you can also choose to follow the tour group at your own expense, or you can order them on a treasure yourself. In short, these are all indispensable expenses besides the tour fare, otherwise there is basically nothing to play there.
Therefore, in combination with your own situation, if you are fully prepared in advance, it is recommended to travel independently, or book a trip that only includes air tickets and accommodation (the tour group almost only books these). Others are booked separately online, with similar prices and plenty of time. Because the last two days with the group usually take you to the shopping spot, if you don't go, you have to go, which is a waste of time. At present, Vietnamese visas are very easy to sign. As long as you give it to the travel agency or online 550 yuan a few days in advance, you can do it well. It's not too late to make an interim decision.
What must-see attractions are there in Nha Trang, Vietnam? Nha Trang was once a colony of France, because it has blue sky and blue sea. There are many French-style buildings here, such as vicissitudes of churches and ivory Buddha statues, which make it the most visited city in Vietnam and deeply loved by China and Russians.
Free attractions not to be missed: Nha Trang Cathedral and Zhongyu Rock Point. These are the places where the tour group will take you.

1, one-day tour of Nha Trang four islands
Let you experience the island scenery quickly, that is, take a speedboat around four islands, which generally include Mudao, Black Island, Zhudao and Silkworm Island. Some people want to go to the island, while others just have a look on the boat. Black Island can go to the island and is also a diving resort, and the scenery can only be considered third-rate. Bamboo island is relatively better, and there is a charge for going to the island. Generally speaking, one day in Joeri includes expenses. There are many swimming facilities on the island, and you can experience playing golf. In the afternoon, you basically play with water in Zhudao.
Silkworm island
2. Pearl Island amusement park
It is a must-see place for parent-child travel. The package ticket to the island is more than 300 people. Take the longest cable car to the island. There are amusement parks, water parks, botanical gardens and zoos on the island. Anyway, all children like to get together. If possible, they can stay on the island for one or two nights and have fun. This is also the main reason why we chose Vietnam, just to bring our children to Pearl Island to have fun. In fact, I think the whole island is very old, and there is still a big gap compared with Disney, but as long as there is something to play, the average child will be very happy.
3. Bonaga Champa Pagoda
Tickets are also needed. The scenic spot is the ruins of Champa with Angkor style. This is a condensed version of Angkor, and you can come out in half an hour.
Another popular day trip is mud bath, which is found in many places in China and is not recommended.
Food that Vietnam must eat Because this group tour is basically not a strategy, food is basically found temporarily in the local area. Vietnamese food is acceptable on the whole, even for Sichuanese who love spicy food, but it tastes delicious. I saw Vietnamese seafood so cheap on the Internet before I came here. As a result, I went to the local area and didn't think seafood was cheap because of the language barrier (poor English and poor communication among Vietnamese). But the restaurants found along the way are not bad, and they are robbed every time. Many hands make light work.
1 Vietnamese seafood
I heard that cheap seafood is mainly concentrated at the seaside, which is the kind of mobile barbecue spot. The famous ones are grilled lobster and crab. Be sure to bargain, for example, 654.38+ 10,000 VND is still very cheap when converted into RMB, probably around 30 yuan.
2. Vietnamese rice noodles
The price is cheap and the quantity is large. Made of high-quality rice, beef or chicken, with coriander and other seasonings, beef and rice noodles are the most popular, and there are many beef, which is a representative of Vietnamese cuisine.
3. Dripping coffee
Because it is a French colony, Vietnamese who love coffee drink tea like us. The difference of Vietnamese coffee is that it is not boiled, but a drip coffee cup with a thick layer of coffee powder on it, and then it rushes into hot water and waits patiently for the coffee to drip into the cup. It basically takes an hour to finish dripping, so you can experience leisure time and enjoy a slow life in the aroma of this coffee. Nowadays, in urban life, there are not many cities that drink coffee like this, but Vietnam has always retained this feature. The price is not expensive either. As long as you have 3 yuan, you can drink a cup of high-quality coffee, and you should generally taste it.
4. Vietnamese cooking
These dishes are a little sweet because there is a lot of dipping sauce. Deeply loved by children.
What makes me deeply understand the pain of the tip problem in Vietnam is the tip problem in Vietnam. To be honest, I have been to several island countries, and I know I have to tip, which affects my mood. If I am unhappy, there will be problems.
First of all, the Vietnamese customs tips. Actually, a tip of RMB 65,438+00 is required when going in and out of the customs, and this is only for China people. When the tour guide reminded me at first, I thought it was the behavior of the tour group, but I deliberately refused to give it to the Vietnamese customs. Unexpectedly, Vietnamese customs shamelessly reached out and asked us for tips, shouting RMB 10 yuan. Perhaps he is most familiar with this sentence in Chinese. Many people in China were afraid of trouble, so they gave it to them. Then I saw a post on the Internet. A group called on everyone to refuse to pay tips. Although there were some discounts, it was finally released. Therefore, at any time, we in China should unite to resist these unequal treaties.
Followed by tour tips. Whether you take the bus or not, the tour group actually asks you to tip the driver every day. In Vietnam, we all booked our own self-funded projects. We didn't take the bus with the group and asked for tips. Of course, we didn't agree. As a result, the service attitude of the tour guide is quite bad. Finally, everyone ganged up and refused to pay.
Finally, the hotel tips. The tour guide keeps reminding us to tip the hotel waiter. To tell the truth, we cleaned the room, but we did the same. One day, we forgot to tip and the service level dropped.
What is unforgettable about traveling in Vietnam is not the scenic spots or customs, but that our family learned to swim in Vietnam. We are all landlubbers. I didn't expect to learn to swim in the swimming pool every day in Vietnam, especially to teach our daughter. She is very happy. It's just that we've been exposed to the hot sun for so long that our whole family has been sunburned. First, our skin is red and can't move, then it falls off, and finally it grows new skin. It was too uncomfortable during the period. Be sure to wear a swimsuit with a closed upper body in the future, otherwise it will be easy to get sunburned.
The second unforgettable thing is that neither my husband nor I can swim very well. We dive together in Black Island. Since there is no staff to help you, after jumping, we are all on our own. I'm nervous about going to sea, and so is my husband. He can only pretend to be calm and hold my hand all the time, because once I let go, the two of us will be washed away by the sea and go our separate ways. My husband kept rowing back while holding my hand, hoping to take us back. It's a pity that his strength is too small, and I made a mistake, which caused him to be washed aside by the sea, but he rowed farther and farther. Finally, the staff came by boat and pulled us back. But during these 30 minutes in the sea, I realized how happy I was to find this person. In the critical moment, I never left you. I have been trying to hold your hand and spend the romantic trial in the sea.
What can I buy when traveling in Vietnam? When you arrived in Vietnam, you unconsciously became a local tyrant, with hundreds of thousands and millions of Vietnamese dong. So many Vietnamese girls like to find a husband from China, and China people are very popular.
The exchange rate in Vietnam is 3200: 1, 1 RMB to 3200-3300 Vietnamese dong. Never change it at the airport. Generally, the exchange rate is the lowest, which is generally 3300 in tour guides. In Vietnam, we didn't buy a lot of things, but here are the recommended features.
1, Vietnamese slippers. Vietnam is located in the tropics and is rich in rubber, so Vietnamese slippers are very popular. I heard that a pair can be worn for many years, and it doesn't stink, and the price is also close to the people, usually around forty or fifty yuan. The most famous one is called Pingxian slippers, and there are specialty stores everywhere.
2. Vietnamese coffee. Vietnam is the second largest coffee exporter in the world, and the streets are full of coffee. In Vietnam, you can also buy the world's most expensive civet cat excrement coffee, which comes in small packages. Generally, the package of 65,438+000 yuan is not expensive and can be bought for friends and relatives.
3. Vietnam's Aokun. It is improved from China cheongsam. Aodai is a coat with trousers, which is convenient and beautiful. When she came to a set of Vietnamese Ode, she immediately became a Vietnamese girl.
4. Vietnamese silk. In recent years, China's domestic labor costs have soared, so it is cheaper to buy silk in Viet Nam. It is cost-effective to bring several sets of silk quilts and four sets of silk quilts.
