Tips:

1. on the plane ticket: we are 2 months ahead of the start online search ticket, then the major airlines and some cheap airline Web sites are checked out again, like China Southern, Shanghai Airlines (as if only the two families are direct flight from Shanghai to Viet Nam), Dragonair, Cathay Pacific (Hong Kong transit), JETSTAR (provides some Southeast Asian cities of cheap airlines, was only found in Macau to Saigon, 55 us $), and so on.

Last seen South of second pedestrian Dragonair-ticket, all from one, 2374 element that also had these rows. The fact that this decision is good for Cathay Pacific, Dragonair and service very good, the aircraft is also very timely. Cathay Pacific's large aircraft have audio-visual equipment, very interesting! flights on the aircraft is 9 p.m. departure point to 0 hours, although you can, however, a day to more than 4000 fare but a person, someone said to and from the Internet only $ 2000 to, anyway I didn't found this price.

2. with regard to passports and visas: the Passport Office to go early, because the original passport for visas needed, we buy airline tickets online despite having passport when, after the passport number, enter the Internet, because when you need boarding check passport number.

Passport for about a week or so you can pick up (while immigration is 10 business days), the price is $ 200, Monday to Saturday; Viet Nam visa is in Pudong yuanshen road, near Pudong Avenue five niucheng. Monday to Friday, the price is 630 element a person (the price, it is said that Shanghai is the most expensive!), you can get, but you have to wait a couple of hours to take.

3. accommodation: we went not in season, so don't worry about could not find a place to live.

Van five old street near indeed is a GH received a home, so I suspect that is not the side of the people are doing this business. Fear of the first night to Saigon too late, and dragging boxes in a strange city live, so early in the tour of the Internet for poor KIM ' S HOTEL, counting service charge is $ 22 for one night's room and our Viet Nam tour live in the most expensive, but very quiet, because in a small alley, there is also an elevator and a small balcony. Later in the hotel we are in a place to find, but didn't spend a lot of work, because Sinhtourist parking there will be many people before touting, we talked about the price, ask, and then went to the room to live down. NHA live in 10 u.s. dollars a night of ALOHA HOTEL, big bed room. Dalat lived Sinhtourist opposite HANG NGA HOTEL, 7 u.s. dollars a night for two large bed plus balcony. Beautiful Nai live is not far away from Sinhtourist HAI YEN, 20 u.s. dollars a night, two large bed, with swimming pool and sea view rooms. Back to Saigon live 2-star Lien Ha, 20 u.s. dollars a night, the room was fairly small, but clean, with elevator. Overall, the tension GH comparison, but nor is not found. NHA most empty, we live in a House, GH is nobody lives, the US-Nai HAI YEN may because Sinhtourist near, so business is good, we live in would only after basic 1, 2 rooms. Dalat is also OK, our family, from far away there are rooms available for Basic.

4. on the diet: Viet Nam restaurant mostly Western side, of course, there is a local specialty Viet Nam, like rice flour (Pro 2000 sold, noodles, beef, chicken, pork and seafood four flavors), fried noodles (stem, a bit like instant noodle noodles, but also four flavors), spring rolls (very large, transparent, pack the rice noodles and spices leaves, fresh shrimp, dipped in acid eat chili sauce, or the tasteless odorless), fried rice (eat seafood and squid taste, taste sensation, because rice General special hard to swallow, the famous Bao Tran seafood fried rice not tried); breakfast baguette Basic are, you can select ingredients, fried eggs, butter, ham, etc, not eating habits.

We also eat a rice noodle, locals sit in small stalls in the morning, eating, bean sprouts, spice leaves and ham and pork, is equipped with a small bowl and sour sauce, not very good. Then we in Dalat night market and bought Durian taste of romantic taste good. Western-style dishes like pizza, BBQ, etc are also good taste. Beverages, proposed a number of attempts, we almost every meal will point, lime juice (Viet Nam like rich in lime, haven't seen yellow), Dragon fruit shake, shake, shake, papaya and mango, coffee shake, Strawberry juice, etc. (Dalat is rich in strawberry, 5 Yuan a mug, super delicious！）。 There is also the yogurt, VINAMILK in Viet Nam also eat a lot. Go to the NHA and beautiful Nai can taste seafood barbeque booth Street, great value!

5. with regard to change money and exchange rate: we in the airport for a small amount of Viet Nam shield, because the taxi and the next day's breakfast, the lower exchange rate: 1: 19200 (USD), charging a handling fee of 3%, count down to only 1: 18624, i.e. 1: 2720 (RMB) about the exchange rate.

Proposals do not change or little change. Later we are in the vicinity of the old street Pham Sinhtourist opposite bank exchange point is 1: 19200, don't charge, which is around 1: 2805. After the NHA, beautiful Nai are directed to GH change, is not pleased to find that are 1: 19000, i.e. 1: 2778. Later return to Saigon to go to the store when you become a change: 1, i.e. 1: 19150 2800. Online jewelry store that we did not find in Sai Kung, a person can have time to look for. But as I look down 1: 19200 in we see it as the most high. Many Kung shop door hanging is 1: 18xxx, very low. But don't look for too much, that is not secure, a time for a $ 100-200 spectators enjoy suffice, millionaire!

6. with regard to the shopping and price: while speaking Viet Nam than China backward, but the price would be comparable to Shanghai.

Example: a pot of yoghurt convenient shops selling 5000 shield, LAVIE water bottle 5000 shield, big bottle of 8000 shield (TAX shopping cheaper), baguette with fried egg, butter of 7000 rupiah, rice flour, noodles with basic are 20,000-30,000 shield, juice General 15,000-25,000 shield, pizza 75,000 shield, these are the prices. Beautiful NAI's prices, relatively inexpensive, lime juice, for example: 7000 rupiah (Sai and NHA Basic are 12,000-15,000 shield or so). And all the way down to find bargains room is very small. Conclude: Viet Nam a breakfast person take basic to 5-$ 15 (roadside stalls), lunch and dinner per person for 30-40 Yuan (Chinese restaurant). Shopping, shopping malls, Sai will go to the TAX on the second floor of the supermarket, and affordable. The Central coffee powder is outsold TAX shopping centre, opposite the Central coffee shop cheap. Mentholatum lip over there and sunscreen are cheaper than China. NHA, went to a called A-Mart supermarket, ask some people over there should know that, although not large, but things are basic full. Beautiful Nai and Dalat didn't buy anything, was said to be going to the market.

7. on the spot: I am the way, are the basic set of Sinhtourist tour or half-day tour, because the quality and time have coverage.

General Sinhtourist working hours are 6: 30-22: 30, the day scheduled ahead of time is generally no problem. We are in a place you put the attractions and Sleeping Bus tickets booked. Sai Kung, then you can select the Mekong and ancient Shiba road tour, we chose the former, the $ 10 a person visiting the rice paper, coconut sugar production; drink honey tea, listening to play fruit; carriage, feel more relaxed and, of course, not the shopping link. Saigon city can go to church, post office, the War Memorial Hall, unity Palace, note there is a lunch break at noon. NHA we participate in the four Island Tour, 7 dollars a bag lunch, fruits, meals, sea of red wine party, the ship's song and dance performances. Feel more value, but also very fun! there is also a recommended is a mud-bath, you can spend an afternoon, bubble mud, swim swimming, you can kill a horse. Dalat Sinhtourist tour is one day 7 spots, pack a lunch and all tickets. Qin fragrance Lake because building new dams, water is pumped dry, ask tour, said to be under the next year will have the water again. Beautiful Nai half day tour including white dunes, sand dunes and the fishing village of sunset, Red Canyon is closed, so I didn't go there.

8. other: Viet Nam longer than 1 hour late, do not forget the good table.

Take a Taxi, personal recommendation, formal point of clean and correct pricing. General is 38 383838 and 38 272727 both better. Start price 10,000 shield. We met a Knight in the u.s. for 38 383838 drivers speak fluent Chinese, cattle! stay asked you to Passport, give him a copy, is generally willing to accept. Our way ran HAI YEN boss must be original, but he kept really great, all labelled yibenben room number. Take a trolley case quite convenient, General travel will have staff to help you make the case well, don't worry. Participate in the tour and travel Sinhtourist his family's Bus will send a small bottle of water, saves the trouble to buy water.
