1, RMB can spend everywhere.

RMB only in Hanoi in the North near the Chinese border areas, and in the South of Hanoi (Hanoi), RMB will not redeem the circulation, even the very difficult.

2, English everywhere.

Viet Nam English generally higher but also has a blind spot, for example in some restaurant can only be even more than with the Division of chicken and duck.

3. buy an airline ticket is Viet Nam OPEN BUS tours are the best way.

Airline ticket advantage is cheap, the disadvantage is that they are selling a travel company (practical at the same time there are many travel companies in competition), if you have problems with the seats filled, also will delay the trip.

The best way to travel is to select the train and segmentation using OPENBUS.

May 1: Hanoi-Ninh Binh [highlight] three ancient water tour

8: 30 am the CMB travel to hotel guests, a team of 14, five around until you get a bus filled with.

Flat from Hanoi to Ning, 93 km away for two hours. The first spots called Hua Lu (HOA LU), once is Viet Nam Ding up and Li Chao (968-1009) of the capital. Visit the Royal Palace and Temple of them, after all, there is no Chinese style, a Palace and crowded and dark, but very high threshold for infants. A meal and not eat lunch, afternoon in three ancient (TAM COC) of rice fields boating. Three ancient hailed as "the rice fields of Halong Bay", because there are Karst formation of abrupt peaks, lush rice paddies and walk through the mountains, rice fields of river between criss-cross. In fact, the most spectacular natural beauty, but not the mighty queued into the scenic area of the ship. Designated by the local people, if it is a woman's hand, if you are younger man with your feet. Rowing time about 1 and a half hours, to pass through three natural caves, the exhumation of the point you can buy a cold coconut to quench their thirst, if she asks you to buy drinks, it shows how Chinese generous.

Back to the shore almost 4 pm, this should be with the CMB back to Hanoi for the train, because lost ticket events temporarily change itineraries, from water tour starting point opposite the restaurant orders at night from Ning flat — the OPENBUS hue, each 10 beautiful knife.

Later proved that Ning ping to the hue of the actual price in 5-6, we are relentlessly kill 5 knife. 8 p.m. with the motorcycle from the three ancient go to Ning, after bitter waiting, 11 points finally climbed to the hue of the OPENBUS.

[TIPS] 1, Hanoi's old neighborhoods, many travel agents sell Ning ping tour, prices were in the vicinity of $ 17, after each transfer, lanke goal is not to let the free bus.

So choose a travel agency and not harmful.

2. If in the design of the trip to Ning, whether by train or car to the South, it is recommended that back to Hanoi.

Because Ning ping is a small place, a lot of trips is not docked, OPENBUS is a ride without a ride to lanke.

3, Ning Pingshui upstream to the Boatman's tipping, ready to change, a boat 20000 shield is enough.

4, OPENBUS is committed to not allow nationals sat also didn't understand flat from Ning, anyway, to the hue of the car was full of cars is Viet Nam people!

2 may: Ninh Binh-hue-Hoi an [highlight] hue SI de mausoleum

Ninh Binh to 600 km of hue, the car was fast 12 hours 10: 30 in the morning arrives at the ancient city of hue.

Hue in 1802 to 1945 is before and after the capital, Viet Nam experienced Nguyen dynasty 13 emperors. A split in the city of hue, North of the town pool has been included in the world cultural heritage, and a large number of Royal tombs are far-flung and disaggregated to the South of the city.

Find SINH CAFÉ, booked at 2: 00 to go to Hoi an's OPENBUS (35000 shield/person), spend 20 dollar hired taxi, about to three attractions: tianlao Temple (THIEN MU PAGODA

), SI de Tomb (TOMB OF TU DOC) and Kai Ming tombs (TOMB OF KHAI DINH).

Tianlao Temple (free) was established in 1601, in which an octagonal tower is the most famous buildings in Viet Nam; si te mausoleum (tickets 55000 shield) is one of the tombs, otherwise there is a flicker in the jungle green tree quiet small lake; Kai Ming tombs (tickets 55000 shield) is originality and arrangements in the Hill, and Western architectural styles makes it unique among the tombs.

My favorite or SI de mausoleum, like most of Jin Yong's martial arts of mystery: in somewhere. Sitting in the water surrounded on three sides by summerhouse, looking not a ripple black green water, always let people trance, Kiss.

A lot of Viet Nam to the ancient city of hue Raiders sneer, I think here is well worth a visit.

Sorry didn't go to the old town, had to wait for next time. 2: 00 p.m. OPENBUS on-time departure, from hue by Danang to Hoi an's line, United States national geographic as life will go to one of the 51, "civilization and nature perfectly." Go read the scene really good, the car moves through the mountains, out of the blue sea, there is a place of calm lagoon. En route will go through a very long tunnels, probably lasted 10 minutes, after that found in the hole before the clouds into the skies and clouds as waterfall pouring down from the peak, at the foot of the beautiful coastal city of Danang.

Danang is not far away from Hoi an, 5 p.m. parked the car in front of the CAFÉ SINH.

To book a second night from Hoi an to the NHA's ticket, but tickets are sold out, a TRAVEL TREKKING, or just a few seats left last. Accommodation in BINH MINH HOTEL (12 THAI PHIEN STREET), standard room US $ 10/day, although a bit crude, but the House, there is a small football field-like garden. Evening with the map to find a restaurant LP, find the official caving River CAFÉ DES AMIS, a book recommended features seafood meal has risen to 90000 shield, chef Mr. King began to store large qike. In Hoi an, do not forget to taste the "gourmet" three treasures: the first is fried wonton, the second is the fresh shrimp dumpling, third is referred to as "CAO LAU" lasagne of broth.

[TIPS] 1, the long journey to arrive at a city to do first is to determine the next segment of the trip, unless you intend to stay in this city for a week or more.

For example, OPENBUS ticket, regardless of the connection or pay in cash, will confirm as soon as possible.

2. If you want the hue to Hoi an on the way to look at the scenery, it is recommended to sit in the car on the side of the left beside the sea.

3, Hoi an is a small town, a few little streets is completely to foot generation car.
