Visit Ho Chi Minh City feel

At the end of April in Viet Nam working friends invited to a meeting in Ho Chi Minh City. To go before all his friends advised me to think that Viet Nam do, in fact, there it is not the case, it will write their own some feelings, and share with others.

Itinerary: 4-27 13: 55-17: 00 Shanghai to Ho Chi Minh City

4/30/18: 40-23: 10, Ho Chi Minh City to Shanghai

Visa: visas to Viet Nam is easy, I call directly to the Embassy in Viet Nam in Beijing, they will give you fax the form required for visa, complete with a passport and a two-inch photos sent by EMS to Beijing's Embassy in Viet Nam, 4 working days after receipt of the visa.

The cost is around $ 350.

Currency: 1 USD = 15800 Viet Nam shield; however suggest that you bring some dollars, many places are priced in dollars and settlement.

Although it can be converted into a shield cover, but I don't have the habit of coin denominations, think it is better with US dollars.

Language: the city's tourism industry more developed, basically and travel-related establishments staff are some English to communicate in English, so no problem.

Overall feeling: Ho Chi Minh City streets is clean, some important buildings are French, feels very European atmosphere.

And 30 April, the long Southern Viet Nam 30 anniversary of the liberation, a cheer everywhere decorated. The city with Viet Nam national flag and the Communist Party of the party flag.

Transport: passengers of motorcycles and tricycles, but since I heard about their story behead visitors, so I didn't dare to sit on.

There's a taxi the price is good, but also cheap, you can try.

Consumption: Ho Chi Minh City overall consumption is not very high, even downtown Dist.1 prices is not very wrong.

But there is no convenience stores, supermarkets and small, get some necessities not too convenient.

Airport: Ho Chi Minh City Airport to buy airport fee — 12 dollars, do not put your money to go to the airport was empty.

Viet Nam provisions do not take more than 3000 dollars, should also pay attention to this point.

27 April fair

Viet Nam and Shanghai have a 1 hour time difference, at 5 pm local time to arrive at the airport in Ho Chi Minh City, a friend came to pick me.

Out of the airport saw numerous motorcycle Shuttle in the streets, while to learn from the Internet before to local Motorcycle madness, but the immediate scene or scared me jump. The road air isn't very good, riding a motorcycle of people wearing masks, some women also wore the veil, leaving only two eyes, may be the Sun. I live in the BONG SEN HOTEL Dist.1, include breakfast and service charge per night 65 dollars, a little luxury. Dist.1 brings together numerous nice restaurants, bars, a variety of unique restaurants and Ho Chi Minh City, most of the attractions that it deserves to be the center of the city.

28 April fair

Friends to go to work to accompany me, I woke up with a bunch of maps and the introduction of Ho Chi Minh City, started a real tours.

Ho Chi Minh City car and bike on the road is not too much, the bus was not much, than a motorcycle, and their disregard of semaphores rushing about. Moreover the road lights also is rare, never seen what traffic police maintain public order. As a result of that I would not have to cross the road, stop at the edge of the road. To slowly get used to after noon, learn and locals alike in traffic across the road. Ho Chi Minh City is located in Southern Viet Nam, year round hot weather, I went to a few days every day was foretold, go on the road, hat, sunglasses and sunscreen is a must-have items. Wandered to the Notre Dame Cathedral, Central Post Office, War Memorial, TAO DAN Park. Also looked at the Consulate General of China in Viet Nam. Tired in roadside Café drink eat, feel very comfortable. Afternoon in the Sun-Times back to the hotel, after a four-point before it came out in the various shops in the vicinity of the hotel and in the lounge. Because of the domestic people who travel in the past, so go locals thought I was Japan. Used Japanese and I Exchange or touting, although I am fluent in Japanese, but you can always get a little uncomfortable.

Evening with your friends to a company called LA MARINE restaurant eat more upscale Viet Nam dishes, including the famous Saigon crab.

Food and wine are very delicious, just toasts and handsome waiter talk I come from China in Shanghai, he heard a few times without reaction, don't know Shanghai, depressed!

April 29, cloudy

I live next to the hotel there is a Japan travel agency, since on Viet Nam's knowledge, the nearest attended their eyebrows River tour.

Because Japan went to Viet Nam's self-service many tourists, the travel agency has launched a variety of day trips, half-day tours and a variety of support services, prices, eyebrow River tour price is 40 dollars. Eyebrow River tour itself is nothing special, just there to eat a good lunch. First is the only River in the eyebrows are fish, like our flat fish, the guide said the name unfortunately I forgot. Sky-high Golden served, but also place, very interesting. Put the fish clip down to Viet Nam's spring roll bag, dip Viet Nam's sweet and sour sauce is delicious to eat, too. Viet Nam's spring rolls white translucent skin is like a piece of paper, but it is very hard. A few dishes and side came a big golden round things. Start also thought it was the same as the coconut fruit, still think it's going to eat well, surprise, the waiter brought a pair of scissors, three times two cut it, the original middle is hollow. The waiter brought it into smaller jobs to give everybody, eat in the mouth is the sweet smell of fried rice cake, delicious.

Eat dinner early to my living hotel near public square, this evening to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the liberation of the city of celebrations.

7 o'clock in the square has gathered a lot of enthusiastic people, coupled with the hot weather, my clothes are wet, but Hi diligently standing there to watch. 8 o'clock festivities begin promptly at the two facilitatorsDon't use Viet Nam, and English auspices, municipal leaders came to power, is once again in Viet Nam, the English language is internationalization. There are many traditional songs and dances of Viet Nam, but also to live. Although lighting, stage are not the major events in Shanghai to luxury, but the atmosphere was very warm. Celebrations at 10 p.m. in a grand fireworks display in the end. Really very fortunate in tourism while also encounter such a major event.

30 April fair

Today is my last day of the Ho Chi Minh City, the weather was good, walking in the street to see everyone's mood is also very good, because today is the 30th anniversary of the liberation of Ho Chi Minh City.

The city centre there are a variety of celebration processions, walked was stopped, the previous letter of a way to greet the procession. Countless people cheering onlookers, on both sides of the street, there are many spectators of foreign tourists, including me. The Park has many Dragon and lion dance and acrobatics and other traditional programs, attracting numerous tourists. Although today it is difficult to walk, the way but I'm going to visit the Museum of history. Overview of Viet Nam's historical feel they are affected by the impact of Chinese culture is very deep, but I feel these days is they don't understand China, Shanghai also never heard of. The city's Central Post Office in hanging signs States time clock, but only Hong Kong time, Beijing time could not be found. Of course I in these days of trip did not see what the Mission in China. I think we should more exchanges? quite good places should be more people go, and let them know we are good.
