Rest in Vietnam, Tourist description of Vietnam. All about Vietnam

  • 23.09.2019

Vietnam is an attractive country, but only for lovers of Southeast Asia. The same, who does not like, for example, Thailand (it turns out, there are such), this country is also unlikely to like.

In comparison with its neighbors, Vietnam seems more fairly arranged socially. There is no such terrifying poverty, although the people in the main mass live poorly. The country is still considered socialist. I do not know all the conquests of socialism, but children walk in pioneering ties and with joyful smiles. And the smile of the child, you will agree, speaks many.

Vietnam offers a full-fledged holiday. Tourists, mostly combine beach accommodation (with all the attributes of water entertainment) and cognitive excursions (natural, historical and folklore plan).

Vietnam is attractive for Russians and their cheapness. Here you can very cheap and delicious eat. In addition, many manufacturers of the most famous world brands opened their factories and plants in Vietnam. Accordingly, the cost of these brands is significantly lower here than anywhere else.

The main costs when rest in Vietnam go to the flight, so if you are lucky to find cheap tickets on promotions, I advise you to safely buy them. Rest in Vietnam will not disappoint. This country will provide a warm sea, bright sun, fresh air, violent nature, distinctive culture, unusual food and a wonderful mood.

How much is a vacation in Muin? January 2019.

tour cost

In January of this year, we flew to rest in Vietnam for two weeks. Our tour was combined, and i.e. We spent 10 days directly in Muin, and the remaining four days in Nha Trang. The tour on three people cost 180 thousand rubles. The city of the departure was the city of Blagoveshchensk (Amur region), and arrival airport Camran.

For our rest we visited three excursions, two of which are absolutely free. First Excursion - Overview, i.e. Tourists are carried by different, so let's say, a nonsense shop, i.e. Excellent quality of goods is guaranteed, but the price of the "heavenly" product. The second excursion was - white dunes, in this tour We also visited different stores or factories (for example, for the production of decorations of their real pearls), and of course the dunes themselves, where you could rent a jeep, the driver of which rolls you and stops in beautiful places for photos (renting is if I'm not mistaken , 300 thousand dongs per hour), it was also possible to ride the ostrich - 100 thousand dongs. Rutter excursion already paid - $ 50 / person. Excursion is very interesting and fascinating! I advise everyone !!! In one day you will visit the "mad house", see the biggest seitant Golden Buddha, in the same time visit two parks, one of which incredible beauty! (Lunch is also enabled).

Food and products

I will be aware of you not only in rubles, but also in Dong. Breakfast in our hotel was incorporated, so we always stayed in the hotel in the morning. Our dinner, as a rule, consisted of products purchased in grocery stores. Prices, as for me, are somewhat treated with your present value. For example, a tutu liver cost in the area from 35 to 70 thousand dongs ~ from 98 to 170 rubles, I think, in any case, it is possible to find cheaper. For dinner we went to different cafes. In every place, it came from about 800 rubles (I do not remember how much it) in the dongas). Dinner consisted of 3 people. If we talk about fruit, then minimum price Mango was 22 thousand dongs ~ 62 rubles, pineapple 18 thousand ~ 50 rubles. From here you can conclude that it is most profitable to eat fruit.

Total money spent on vacation

Helpful information?

The impression of rest in January

I think we chose a great time in a year to visit Vietnam, because before the tour was ordered a lot of not very positive feedback on the weather in winter. But we were lucky. All our arrival in Muin was accompanied by a bright sun.

Family holiday

In fact, Muin is a very friendly village, in which there are good establishments, which rosy hosting their visitors, which creates an excellent atmosphere for holding time with loved ones.

Holidays for the elderly

This resort is suitable for the elderly, because in Muinas enough and calmly, and this will greatly help people think of thinking about their lives and relax from the daily bustle in their hometown.

What to take with you on vacation?

I think it should not seem strange, as Muin is a resort with an excellent sea, but I would advise you to take a special sinph for the nose during swimming and diving, because the waves are very big and covered you completely, and the water actually falls into the nose that Creates an unpleasant feeling.

Where to stay better?

We stayed at the Vinh Suong *** hotel. In general, the number we got good overlooking the sea, but the service did not like a little, since sometimes they could not put the toiletries or not to get into the room that caused a storm of negative emotions. But if you delete all the troubles, then the hotel is good.

What to take yourself in the resort?

Most of the time of our holiday we spent in the sea or on the shore. Every evening we walked on Muin in search of clothes or souvenirs.

The first excursion is the city of Dalat. This excursion is designed for one day for which you can view a lot interesting places, for example, Crazy House - unusual hotelwhere you are in a fabulous world.

Second - white dunes. The main part of this excursion is the arrival in the sands, which lasts only one hour, during which you can make a huge amount. beautiful photos At sunset, ride a jeep, and even if desired, ride on ostrich.

Muin is a village consisting of just one street on which there is a huge number of shops, cafes, hotels. Therefore, you should not choose some definite store, because they are all like each other, as this is a kind of market. In Muin, we purchased souvenirs (magnets, plates with attractions, figurines), as well as clothes (dresses, capes are thin from the sun, things for children), but what about sweets for relatives?

Where can I eat?

During our rest, we chose the restaurants that our guide advised us. Two, perhaps the most famous establishments for a delicious dinner were "teahouse" and "Uzbek".

About food quality and maintenance

Very good personnel, the service is fast enough, but it may depend on the number of people in the institution. We sometimes also visited the cafes directly by Vietnamese, where problems arose with misunderstanding, as they almost do not know in English, because of what difficulties could occur. The food itself was very tasty, freshly prepared, I think to worry about her quality.

Pluses of rest in Muin

The pros unambiguously needs to be attributed to pacification and calm. In Muin, you are really able to forget about the bad moments from life, because the atmosphere, reigning there, does not give them to remember them.

We are always going on another program, much more interesting than the standard one.

The highlight of the program is a large, real Pongur Waterfall, where no one else carries more from the nurse. Spotful difference with the rest of the "waterfalls". Very beautiful place, without a crowd of the people. Just compare the photos, they are better words.

Then we are going to a unique Pagoda, where there is never tourists - and the place is more than worthy, and very beautiful. I myself personally allowed to come and for us open closed usually at this time the second floor. The feeling of something real, and not tourist.

Then we visiting the park of clay sculptures. Very interesting and colorful place, where, among other things, it is possible for funny money (2 dollars) to change clothes to the National Vietnamese (Chinese, Japanese) outfit and make beautiful photos.

Feel the difference!

It is not simple sightseeing tour In the city, which tour operators and street travel agencies do. If you were told that you already have a "free" or "gift" tour of Nlychang - know that it is not really a tour, but shopping factories disguised as a "excursion". Therefore, it is free. Only people go to her who are not accustomed to learn information in advance. You are no longer from their number)

Excursion "Real Nha Trang" is completely different and on the approach and filling.

It passes as individually (couple or family, price on request) and in the group.

In addition to all known places, we strive to show a real, non-cerestic nurse, and in general Vietnam. Raisin Trip - Country Pagoda, which few people know about. There are almost no tourists there. On the way to...

Imagine a luxurious quiet beach, where only our small group is resting (often this is exactly what happens).

There is very beautiful, no waves, urban fuss, landscape decorate picturesque rocks - perfect place For recreation and photo shoots. We are on the beach from 8-30 to 15 hours.

And on the way back to Nha Trang, we travel to a unique shell temple and a dragon labyrinth, having passed that, according to legend, can be cleaned of past sins.

The price includes transport, entry tickets And sun beds and fungi, as well as wine, rum, a lot of fruit and a very tasty dish of Vietnamese cuisine (eating everything, no no one else remains hungry).

Excursion duration - from 7 to 17 hours.

A group of up to 14 people, a comfortable minibus with air conditioning.


...

Vietnam is amazing country With a notch of French charm. In previous articles, we have already written about holidays in Vietnam in general. Here we will touch on several curious facts about the country of its culture and residents.

1. The bulk of the population moves on scooters and motorcycles. Vietnamese call such transport "Moto-Baik". 3 people on one moped - this is not a limit; Large cargo can carry.
There are only cars in wealthy Vietnamese, as the high tax on the importation of cars and the absence of its own production makes them practically not affordable.

2 . Movement on the roads may seem complete madness, especially in major cities as Ho Chi Minh. But in fact, this is a clearly organized swarm of Moto Bikers. It is just necessary to get used to the fact that the main on the road are people on the iron horses.

3 . Mini-French Baguettes. This insanely tasty invention of mankind got from French colonization. What is the baguette? This is a small crisp baguette, cut along, and inside the filling to choose from: fried egg, vegetables, roasted meat or fish, fresh vegetables. Sometimes a sharp sauce is added from above and then it is just a stunning dish.




4 . One more interesting fact -. Vietnam is famous for the whole world of their coffee, I will say more, Vietnamese occupy a leading position in the export of coffee in the world. In Vietnam, coffee is drunk very sweet, sometimes they add condensed milk and a lot of sugar. Popular here and drink coffee with ice, you can even meet instant Ice coffee.




5 . Cheap alcohol. There is no such duties on alcohol in the country, so it is selling here, sometimes for funny money, for example, beer SAIGON. It costs 7 .000-10 .000 VND ($ 0 .3-0 .5). And the same amount is in the stores of gashed water.

6 . The world's longest cable car over the sea in Nha Trang. The road connects the spa town of Nha Trang (Nha Trang) and Hon Tre Island on which the amusement park is located. Its length is 3, 300 km.




7 . Vietnamese currency. Vietnamese Dong is denoted ₫ or VND. Due to the growth of inflation since 1987, all purchases in thousands of Belarusians in Belarus are in Vietnam. For example, drinking water 5 .000 VND at the current rate is somewhere 15 rubles.

8 . Vietnamese love Russian tourists. A couple of times we were approached on the street and asked us where we were, and we proudly spoke "from Russia", to which the reaction was just awesome - they began to speak Russian with us. This is due to the fact that the USSR provided active assistance to North Vietnam in american-Vietnamese War.

9 . Low growth of Vietnamese. I with my height 1, 70 m was often halfolized than any vietnamese passing by. Accordingly, all vehicles, including Slipne Basa, chairs and tables in local cafes are designed for no high growth. If I was comfortable on the chairs, in low ceilings buses, then my satellite with a growing 1, 93 m often felt absolutely uncomfortable: in the city buses, he had to stand in a semi-bent condition, on the tiny stools knees were just over the table, it was very Funny.

10 . Tan in Vietnam is not in honor. The tan here is considered the lots of beggars, do not be surprised if you see a girl in the heat of +35 completely bought: in long gloves, jacket, pants, etc.

11 . Russian and international and driver's license in this country are not recognized. But ours compatriots All the same successfully take the rental of moto-bikes, as such control is not particularly not.

12 . Russian rubles, like the euro, are not accepted in Vietnam, but the dollars of the Vietnamese are happy.

13 . Vietnamese Day Mode. The day of Vietnamese starts almost with dawn, and at 6-7 in the morning, life in the cities of Burlit. As soon as the sun hides behind the horizon at six in the evening, literally in 5-7 minutes, life slowly reduces the pace.

Therefore, being in Vietnam, try to move the day of the day by 2-3 hours ago to go out to go outside until the hell's offense at 12-15.00 h.

14 . Private tides and lowers. Do not be surprised if you do not discover half the beach in the morning. And the roads are disappeared, for example, in Vungtau there is a small one, while moving to it you can get on foot, but when the tide, under water, it turns out the only way to the temple.

15 . Mountain city of Dalat. Because of the location in the mountainous area, the city is dramatically different with the climate, it is cool here than in other cities. Going to Dalat, it is better to grab the things with you warm, but not move overThere will be enough sweatshirts and jeans.

16 . And the last interesting fact. Halong Bay off the coast of Vietnam is recognized by UNESCO as the object of the World Natural Heritage.




The region where Vietnam is called indochite and is considered one of the most densely populated in the world. Throughout its history, Vietnam was inextricably linked with China, which influenced its southern neighbor.

Where is the country of Vietnam?

The narrow strip Vietnam stretched 1750 kilometers eastern Bank Indochinese Peninsula. Such a big length, together with significant relief changes, creates very different countries throughout the country. natural conditionswhich vary from north to south.

Along the border with Cambodia and Laos on the territory, Annam Mountains stretched, the most high Point which is located on the territory of Vietnam and is called Mount Bia.

Region where Vietnam is located does not lack water resources. On the territory of the country, the two largest rivers of Southeast Asia - Mekong and Hongha proceed. And on his territory they form their delta, falling into the South China Sea.

Water resources and climate

To answer the question where Vietnam on the equator is enough to hold an imaginary line from major city Countries with which Ho Chi Minhine, named so in honor of the first president of an independent state. The distance between the octalillion hoistin and the air is about a thousand two hundred kilometers.

Since the country lies at a considerable distance from the equator, it gives the climate seasonality with pronounced fluctuations in precipitation mode. In the south of Vietnam, the dry season continues from mid-December to April, and the rainy season from May to November.

The Great River Asia

The river, known worldwide as Mekong, is called Kyulong in Vietnamese, which is translated as the "River of the Nine Dragons". The length of the river reaches four and a half thousand kilometers, during which it proceeds through the territory of six states and serves as the border between Burma, Laos and Thailand.

Mekong takes its beginning on the territory of Tibetan highlands controlled by China. On the territory of Tibet, the river is called Dza-Chu, and after the exit to the Chinese lands is called Lancanjiang.

Walking through the territory of six states, the river carries meals in the land of local peasants, but it is distinguished by instability and significant differences in the amount of flow from the season for the season. If the river is filled in its upper flow due to the melting of snow, then in the region where Vietnam is, it depends on the drop-down rains.

The capital of Vietnam. Where is?

In which country there would be a capital, it is always a place for attraction for business and the population. Today, the capital of Vietnam is the city of Hanoi, the name of which is translated as "city between rivers".

Hanoi the second largest city of the country after Ho Chi Minhine, however, there are not so many cities, how much geographical position. Hanoi is included in the twenty of the largest in the area of \u200b\u200bthe city of the world and occupies the seventeenthist in this ranking. At the same time, he is among the top ten most popular cities in Asia near tourists. Travelers attract the old history of the city, its architecture, craft areas and a good climate.

The unofficial symbol of the city, which often falls into the camera lens, is considered to be the Tower of the Khanyskaya Citadel, built in the fifteenth century. The citadel was repeatedly rebuilt and destroyed during numerous military conflicts, the most destructive of which was civil WarWithdrawal of eighteen years and killed two million locals.

Conflict of interest

In the twentieth century Southeast Asia She became the vehicle of the struggle between the two systems submitted by the United States and the USSR, and by the end of the sixties conflict broke out in the region where Vietnam is located. In which mainland, there would be a conflict of two superpowers, thousands of locals became his victims.

As a result of a prolonged conflict, which left an indelible mark in the history of all speakers who defended the Communist leaders, supported by Soviet Union And occupied northern part country.

After the American troops were withdrawn, and Ho Chi Min set control over the entire country, the capital Southern Vietnam It was named after the first president of the new Communist Republic.

The Communist Economic System established according to the results of the war was collapsed at the beginning of the eighties of the twentieth century. The authorities began to conduct market reforms, attracting investments from other states. The country slowly began to open peace, but to this day the influence of the communist past on the life of people is large, and the symbol of this past serves the tomb of Ho Chi Minh - Mausoleum, built in the country of Hanoi.

Modern economy

Despite all the efforts of the country's leadership, Vietnam still remains largely agricultural country supplied abroad products with low market value. However, the Communist Party of Vietnam does not plan to give up and declares that it plans to make life in the village more comfortable and at the same time raise the productivity of agriculture.

It is assumed to carry out electricity in rural areas, road construction and increasing the share of mechanisms in the production of agricultural products. At the same time, residents will train work on new machines.

As for industrial production, we can say that in any part of the country where the city is located, Vietnam turns into not the most ecologically favorable place.

In the XXL century, many industries appeared in Vietnam, which do not meet modern environmental safety standards. More and more factories and factories are opening in the country due to the cheapness of the workforce, which even China can no longer boast. Workers live in terrible conditions, production safety rules are not respected, and salaries are barely enough to cover the minimum costs.

Ecological problems

Region where Vietnam is located for the most part It has a mountain or hilly medium height relief, but in the Mekong Delta, the sushi level decreases significantly. This seaside slide creates a threat to flooding in the event that the level of the world's ocean will increase due to global climate change.

Vietnamese scientists believe that by 2100 the sea level can be climbed by one meter, and this will lead to almost complete flooding of provinces located in an extensive river delta.

Another danger to the country's ecology can be the rapid urbanization, which began in two thousand years. Height settlements And the increased number of cars create unfavorable conditions for the health of the urban population.

The list of features of Vietnam, which surprised us, outraged or amused. We listed in 42 facts of all the greatest oddities of this country. Also give useful advice Those who are going to visit Vietnam.

Vietnam is the first Asian country that we visited and in which. Of course, the first acquaintance with Asia did not pass smoothly: something impressed us and surprised, and something strongly annoyed - after all, the difference with the other countries visited by us. And although many Vietnamese, involved in the tourist and trade sector, are considering the White Mr. How, nevertheless, Vietnam left a positive impression - it seems to me, unlike Thailand, this is a more distinctive country, not so much Europeanized.

One of the first features of Vietnam, which immediately rushes into the eyes is the nests of black wires, which are emitting the streets. The thick weave of the wires can rightly be considered the attraction of Vietnam and Saigon in particular.

About the peculiarities of the behavior of Vietnamese

  • Vietnamese, unlike Thais, speak very loud - almost like Moroccans. Be prepared for the fact that in the early morning you will wake up some vietnamese under the window or at the hotel.
  • South Vietnam looks much friendlier than the north. In our opinion, people are simpler there, disinterested, open and smiling! Vietnamese in the north (especially in Hanoi) seemed to us frowns, inseparable and rude - well, in accuracy as in Russia they fell. Many in the north are generally strong.
  • AT tourist places Sometimes they are ready to sell food / clothing / service at all, how to give the real, not an overpriced price - ridiculous, but the fact. Vietnamese tourists will rather lie without making all the day in the shock waiting for a big kush, what will make a concession and extensive.
  • Smoking Vietnamese and in transport, and in hotels, and in a cafe.

  • Men often grow nails (or one nail) and pushing it. It looks terribly.
  • Almost everyone in the south is in masks (they resemble muzzles). I read that the Vietnamese fear to get infected with influenza, and also believe that chemicals sprayed during the war during the war still twist in the air. In the north of people in masks are much smaller.
  • It is terribly annoying, but the Vietnamese do not know what a queue is. For them, stand up in front of someone in the queue - this is normal, even if you stand there for 15 minutes. Be naked and faster.
  • You may apply to nod your head to your questions, but in fact, not a damn thing. It is better to try to translate to Vietnamese and write it in notepad / show in the translator.
  • In tourist destinations you will offer sunglasses if you go in sunglasses, rainboard, if you are put on it, and water, if you drink it (etc.).
  • Not only in the temples it is customary to shoot shoes, often this can be observed in hotels, shops and even toilets. Although foreigners sometimes allow not to remove if there are no rubber slippers for shifting shoes (with the exception of temples).

Facts about toilets

  • Almost everywhere (except airports and elite shopping centers) Castles in the cabins do not work. Toilet paper is also almost anywhere (either hangs at the entrance - you need to tear and clean with you). Soap is also far from everywhere, so take wet wipes. Sometimes the toilet cleaner may require you the amount for visiting the toilet, sometimes (here is a paradox!) In the dry ladies are free.
  • For some reason, Vietnamese men do not often reach the toilets. Roughly speaking, they make a need where it fell. Even if Vietnamese is located next to the door of the toilet, he will still do his affairs on the street (were that witness). Huge open space? Nothing terrible, Vietnam will stand in the very center of the flower beds, no one will see. The same applies to children - they are not at all embarrassed to make their business right on the sidewalks. At first it shocked and seemed wild, then we were accustomed.

Facts about food in Vietnam

Feel! Read our articles about everything that concerns food in Vietnam (will open in new tabs):

  1. (full list Main dishes, names in Vietnamese, description, photos)
  2. (about features in different regions and cities of the country)
  3. (what you certainly have to try)
  4. (titles, photos, description, taste and rules of choice when buying)
  5. (The best coffee that only exists!)

Well, now I will list the peculiarities of Vietnam related to food:

  • Always, even in a cafe with fixed prices and on Fudcorts, specify the prices not to be deceived or incorrectly understood.
  • Prices for Europeans can be different (faced with it in Hanoi): one price is written on stretching, and you call another.
  • You can ask you a large amount for the fact that the bread, standing on the table, turns out to be paid, but no one will warn you about it in advance.
  • Street food in the north of Vietnam is more expensive than in the south. We fo in Ho Chi Minh City Soup in 20 - 25 thousand, in Hanoi, it costs from 35 thousand dongs.
  • The sticks in Vietnamese street cafes are often great and dirty - always wipe them with wet wipes or, like us, buy your wands and wear with you.
  • In either either, tables and chairs can be dirty and fat - if possible, check them out, so as not to put the spot on your favorite pants or sweaters.
  • If you at least once visited Vietnam, you probably paid attention to the recurring monotone records, coming from the tape recorder on mopeds and remind some kind of propaganda or call to vote in elections. As it turned out, this is just the sale of corn (or something edible): the Vietnamese is delivered to those who cannot remove from the workplace to have a snack.
  • Vietnamese eating dogs (in the north), rats, frogs and various insects. You can try the snake, crocodile and other exotic animals, but you need to know specific restaurants. But the finished dog easily can be found on the market.
  • We did not fully fully understand how street places work according to what principle. It is clear that someone is open solely in the morning, someone works only in the evening, and someone - during the day. But in small towns (Halong, Hoian, Hue) there are "dead" hours (during the day - from about 2 to 4 hours, in the morning - from 11 to 12), when everything is extinct.
  • For some reason, the grocery stores and enemy are closed around 8 pm, but perfume, jewelry, bookstores, various boutiques, optics and so on can work up to 10 pm. AT small cities At about midnight, it is already possible to buy products or somewhere to eat, but to buy a guitar or portrait Ho Chi Minh - easily.

Sanitary question: cleanliness and hygiene

  • Cleaning hotels, even pretty presentable, bad. Divorces, hair and fine garbage on the floor - standard cleaning. Wear a shower slippers in the room, they are usually always.
  • In almost every hotel (according to our observations) there are ants. This is not too big problem, that's just surprising us, why no one fights with that.
  • Rats on the streets, by the way, for some reason no one also pokes.
  • Dirty water in Vietnam is made to merge into the street, so sometimes the pan is not from pleasant.
  • About puddles: During the rain, the extremely unpleasant feature of Vietnamese sidewalks is revealed. The fact is that the tile, which is posted, is often not new and discharged. Be careful: coming on such a trap tile during the rain, you risk being dirty water. Try to choose more or less non-repeating tiles (especially this is relevant for Hue, Hoiana and Hanoi). In dry weather, large concrete slabs also make in themselves danger: they are walking, and the sewage drain is hidden under them. More than once we saw the collapsed, no covered plates (Halong).
  • The garbage of the Vietnamese leaves where it fell - the coconuts and the remains of fruit, candy and so on - all this remains on Earth. In the cafe, if there are no garbage baskets, the napkins are thrown directly to the floor. Some people manage to litter even in the temples. Well, if the seeds went into the move, then the entire floor will be suiced by them. Usually at night, all garbage from the streets collect garbage trucks.
  • Ice for beverages to clue on the asphalt, so it is better to ask for drinks to the stomach better and afraid of his stomach. And again the paradox: drinks without ice sometimes stand almost twice as expensive!
  • Right on the sidewalk can be dried noodles, cabbage leaves and something else edible. In general, doing something with meals right on the sidewalk - one of the main features for the inhabitants of Vietnam.

So dried cabbage leaves in Halong

Facts about transport, art transportation and movement

Feature Vietnam - Transport. The streets of Vietnamese cities are not created for pedestrians, there are no sidewalks in general, or they are forced by motorbikes. I will list some observations and facts that seemed interesting to us and which may be useful to you:

  • In Ho Chi Minh City, we encountered the fact that some city buses go to some completely incomprehensible route. And the information on the stop stand alone, and local residents reported completely different.
  • If you decide to use the city bus, be careful: you need to go and leave the elephant as quickly as possible. At the entrance, jerk and hold on to the handrail. When exiting - jump, because the conductor literally will push you out from the bus at the bus stop. And he does not care that you have big backpacks. The driver does not wait for anyone, even the conductor - he usually boys into the bus at the last moment. By the way, the bus stop time is 2-23 seconds, the driver will not wait longer (the exception is made only for the elderly). The same is relevant if you caught intercity bus On the highway or in the city (a bus from Dananga to Hoyan, for example).
  • You can buy a ticket from the city, but you will be thrown away to the wilderness, 10 km from it, as the bus is passing and does not drive into the city at all.
  • It is unthinkable, but the fact: in Vietnam, the bus for local can pass 150 km in 5 (!!!) hours (so we drove out from Hanoi to Halong). The fact is that along the way the driver picks up all: the conductor pops up from the bus and calls passengers, the transfer of various parcels is also common - from alive chicken to large boxes.
  • Long-distance buses in Vietnam rubber: Even if you can not extend in the cabin, the conductor will have each pillar to recruit passengers.

  • Up to 5 people can fit on the moped and some cargo.
  • Moped can also be used as a small truck. What is transported: bags with products, building materials, bamboo and reed, chickens in cells, pigs and in general everything that will take mind. Once we saw the Vietnamese transported a whole living tree on the bike.
  • The sidewalks in Vietnam are not for pedestrians, but for mopeds. Basically, they are used as parking, but in the peak hours it is not for him to go around it and drive around.
  • Each parking has its own security guard, which also leads the parking process.
  • Booriksha and taxi drivers on motorbikes love to stick on their trust, if there are no customers.
  • Despite the fact that Vietnamese often do not comply with the rules road, they have too little accidents. But be careful, in the cities sometimes dangerous to look around - that and looked, someone will go.
  • Driving in Vietnam is not for nervous - this can be written separate item. Be extremely attentive on the roads - Vietnamese love to overtake, cut, go through the oncoming lane and emerge from the alleys, creating emergency situations.
  • How to cross the street in Vietnam? Just go slowly and confidently, the motorbikes will smoothly go around you. You can raise your hand and go - so you ask them to slow down and skip you. The first time is very scary, it seems as if the flock of angry bikes rushes on you, but gradually poured into the rhythm and quietly go through the road.

Vietnam Tips - New heading, where we generalize all cases of deception, fraud, tricks in relation to our tourists. This article shared our friends who live in Nha Trang.I thank them for help in preparing this category about Nha Trang. I recommend that their group VKontakte https://vk.com/nhatrang_vietnam. So, Vietnam Tips about how not to be sucked out what to pay attention to why you need to know tips for resting Vietnam.

Tours in Vietnam

To travel cheaper, use the shelves of theralant with a denomination of 300, 500 and 1500 rubles.

  • Bonus 300 ₽ on all vouchers from 20,000 rubles.
  • Discount 500 ₽ on all vouchers from 40000 rubles.
  • Discount 600 ₽ on all vouchers in mobile application and.
  • Secret promo code **** Discount 1500 ₽ on vouchers from 80,000 rubles. in Thailand (To get a secret promotion, write to the mail [Email Protected], the answer will come in 30 seconds)

When the money is changed, when they give out, they often appreciate instead of 500,000 dollars a bill of 50,000 dongs, and instead of 100,000 dongs fit 10,000 dongs. To deceive those who are not used to local currency, very simple, because these bills have the same color shades.

Never give money forward for any services in Vietnam: Taxi, Booriksha, massage, purchases on the market. Only in exceptional cases, when already agreed or when a proven place. With a taxi driver, you do not need to negotiate: he has a counter. But on the velaiks, they often say one amount, and in fact they charge another. Buy a notepad, where you will write and show the amount of velaiks or in the markets, then they have arguments to deceive you will take pleasure.

The market is often tied to Vietnamese tourists who speak Russian well. They promise to help you find anything on the market anything, helping to be stump.
