Everyone knows that there are several beautiful places in Vietnam, such as Nha Trang and Minai, but today Xiaobian still wants to say that Ho Chi Minh City is also very good, so everyone can watch it selectively, and it is appropriate to prepare any place before going. Prepare a
visa before departure: Many agents apply for visas on Taobao. All they need to do here in Guangzhou is to issue a passport photo and an electronic photo for visa, and it will come down in a few days, including the freight of 238 yuan. Because of the territorial dispute between Vietnam and China, they don't recognize the map in China's passport, so the visa we got is not affixed to the passport like other countries, but a red visa paper. Therefore, Taobao agents don't need our original passports.
calling card: There are many choices on Taobao. I bought a "mobifone7-day Internet card flow card for Ho Chi Minh phone in Nha Trang Da Nang". The advantage of this card is plug and play. You can use it after you get off the plane without other settings. But the disadvantage is that you can't make a phone call, and you can't continue to charge after the fee is used up. It is a 3G signal but it is unstable. The supplier provided a simple explanation when delivering the goods, and also made clear its shortcomings. The price is cheap, 42.8 yuan. From the situation I met in Vietnam, I suggest to buy one that combines surfing the internet and making phone calls. Although it is expensive, it is easy to use, for reasons to be discussed later.
international roaming: domestic mobile phone cards open international roaming, which makes it easy to contact in case of emergency.
hotel confirmation form: electronic version, which is generally required by hotels when they check in.
air ticket to travel itinerary: the electronic version is enough.
My air tickets and hotels are booked on Ctrip. Many agents, and sometimes airlines' air tickets in official website will be cheaper, so you can take time to pay attention and save a lot of money.
unionpay card: unionpay card with chip (debit card or credit card with cash withdrawal function). The old-fashioned magnetic stripe card can't be used at ATMs in Vietnam. I can't recognize it with the magnetic stripe card machine at the ATM in the airport.
overseas insurance: it is necessary to buy insurance for yourself when you are away from home, which is compulsory in European countries. I bought it on Allianz Insurance, 38. Cheap, but with less protection, you can buy it according to your own needs. All insurance companies have this short-term overseas insurance.
charging treasure: at the critical moment, my mobile phone will run out of power, which is very painful. I used to travel by two people without it, but this time I found it really impossible to go without one person.
5 times sunscreen and aloe vera gel: the sun in Vietnam is very strong, especially the ultraviolet rays at the seaside are very strong. It is essential to prevent and treat sunburn, and some men who don't agree with it are also needed, otherwise they will definitely get sunburned.
App: Google Maps, public comment. The former is used for navigation, while the latter is used for finding delicious food.
WeChat official account, Qingyoutang: You can buy tickets on your behalf. A ticket costs almost 5RMB, so you can know the timetable of transportation even if you don't buy it.
Sunglasses: The sun is too dazzling, especially for friends who plan to ride motorcycles.
umbrella: when you go to Vietnam in the rainy season (May-October), it may rain at any time, so take a rain-proof umbrella with you. Of course, it doesn't matter if you are not afraid of being drenched into a dog.
swimsuit: many hotels have swimming pools, and going to the seaside is also a must.
coat: if you go to Daxie, you must bring a long sleeve and trousers. With a slightly thicker coat, there is a lot of temperature difference between morning and evening, especially after the rain. In October, the locals all wore cotton-padded clothes.
Personal toiletries: the quality provided by the hotel is average. Men should at least use toothbrush and toothpaste, while women should use shampoo, shower gel and the like, and a soap to wash clothes (clothes must stink if they sweat every day). You can also buy it in the local supermarket.
commonly used drugs: cold medicine and gastrointestinal medicine, not too much, to prevent the trouble of customs clearance, besides, we are only preventive, and we may not be able to use them. Practical
Customs clearance: It is easy for other countries to pass customs clearance as long as passengers do not carry contraband. But Vietnam is a tossing place. Many friends who have been or plan to go must know the situation of Vietnamese customs asking for tips. I once saw a post saying that you should try not to line up with Chinese people in the queue. I don't agree, because your passport has already been decided. The only good way is to queue up to find a fast-moving team. If you meet everyone, you will change teams resolutely. When you meet someone who asks for a tip, don't be humble and refuse, otherwise you will be more indulgent and fucked up. Don't be tough and get yourself into trouble. After all, people have nothing to hide.
OpenBus: there are three OpenBuses in Vietnam, namely, New Coffee, Chinese Coffee and FUTA. The quality of the new coffee car is very poor, and FUTA is the best. There is no pick-up service for new coffee, but there is one for Chinese coffee and FUTA, but it should be noted that there is only pick-up service in Nha Trang and Daat, and there is no delivery. It means that I will pick you up at your hotel, but the destination is the bus stop, and I will take you to the hotel without a shuttle bus. FUTA was delivered to the door of the hotel in Minai, because there is only one coastal road, and the destination of the car just passes your hotel.
Taxi: If you often take a taxi in Vietnam and have never met a black car, it means that your character is too good, but you should burn incense after you go back to thank the Buddha for his blessing. Ho Chi Minh is the most chaotic, followed by Nha Trang, followed by Datuk and Minai. There is only one way to Minai, and it will be better if the tourism development is mature. The best advice is that it is best to rent a motorcycle, but not by bus, followed by walking. If you really want to make a call, look for someone with a phone in the car, clearly state bymeter, turn on the navigation, and get the change ready. Don't always give or give less change.
security: the security in ho chi Minh is very poor, and the other three places are ok. When going out at night, especially girls should follow the crowd, take the main road (don't copy the path to save time) and stay away from the road. It's better to go out less at night. It would be too much trouble if it was robbed. People in our group saw two girls being robbed by the road around 9 pm in Ho Chi Minh.
air tickets: I saw some cheap air tickets when I came back. Jetstar Airlines flying from China to Ho Chi Minh City, some of which were as cheap as 148, decided to make a decisive move when I was optimistic.
