How much does it cost to travel in Vietnam

Blog / 11/22/2024

In addition to the cost of going to Vietnam, there is also a question of whether to bring RMB or US dollars. The following small series will sort out some answers for you. You will understand after reading it, but now let's take a look at what to bring with Xiaobian.

Is it appropriate to bring dollars or RMB?

Going to Vietnam, of course, is to change to Vietnamese dong. 1 yuan RMB = 3,100 VND. When you arrive at the Vietnamese airport, there will be a currency exchange machine. Just change it then.

Although the local area accepts US dollars, zui should not use it. You give him dollars, people usually don't give change. It's not worthwhile at all.

Is Vietnam tourism expensive?

In recent years, due to the rapid development of tourism, prices have risen significantly. In terms of consumption, Ho Chi Minh City is the city with high price of zui in Vietnam. In terms of catering, the meat stick is about 15,000 Vietnamese dong, and a cup of yogurt is about 6,000 Vietnamese dong.

Dun, a bowl of Vietnamese powder is about 25,000 Vietnamese dong. In terms of accommodation, 1 million Vietnamese dong can stay in a 3-star hotel in the tourist gathering area, and 100,000 Vietnamese dong can stay in a good youth hostel bed, including breakfast.

Where is the Bank of Vietnam?

In major tourist cities in Vietnam, such as Hanoi, Da Nang, Nha Trang, Dat and Ho Chi Minh, there are many banks and ATMs in the streets and lanes, especially in the tourist gathering areas of each city, and currency exchange points can also be seen everywhere. UnionPay cards can be cashed in cooperative banks. Pay attention to choosing ATMs with UnionPay logo.

2. In China, China Bank can't exchange Vietnamese dong. You can change RMB into US dollars at China Bank before going abroad, and then change it into Vietnamese dong after going to Vietnam.

3. You can exchange money in banks, money exchange points, hotels and other places in Vietnam, or you can go to a jewelry store to exchange money. The exchange rate is similar to that of banks.

Travel to Vietnam zui to exchange Vietnamese dong in advance, and try not to use US dollars locally, because it is not cost-effective. Vietnam is a country with high cost performance among many Southeast Asian tourist areas, with beautiful scenery, rich products and relatively cheap prices!

Is it expensive?

I have only been to Hanoi and Nha Trang, and I feel that Vietnam is as rich and frugal as most places I travel.

Take Nha Trang as an example. Because the tourism industry is relatively mature, there are quite a few five-star hotels, and the price is around 600-1000 yuan. Compared with China, it's actually okay, the service quality and hardware are not bad. Of course, if the accommodation requirements are not high, there are many hotels with tens of yuan or more than 100 yuan. Lz can go to Qunar.com and browse everyone's comments before making a choice. If you eat, there are Vietnamese rice equivalent to 10 yuan a bowl, and there are also hotel buffets with more than 100 yuan. Vietnamese rice noodles are delicious, and any small shop on the street is doing well. There are also some special food stalls, and the average person who eats 30 to 40 is also good. In terms of transportation, it is very convenient to take a taxi in Nha Trang, and the price can only be said to be average. Because the urban area itself is relatively small, it usually costs more than ten yuan to take a taxi. It takes about 30 yuan to go to a farther place, and it takes more than 100 yuan to get to the airport. Shopping will be cheaper in the free market, but the styles of things are outdated, which feels a bit like Beijing in the 1990 s. The branded products in supermarkets are generally similar to those in China.

Generally speaking, I personally feel that the price is similar to that in Beijing, maybe a little cheaper, but not much cheaper. It depends on your own needs to see whether the price really meets your expectations.

How much is it for five days?

Before answering the question, do you have to ask the hotel if everything is booked in China? If it is, you don't have to consider it in your daily expenses. If you need to pay the hotel fee locally, the landlord can convert it himself. Pay attention to the conversion method of Vietnamese dong, directly remove three zeros and divide by three, which is the amount of RMB.

According to my experience in Vietnam, I feel that spending about/day in 250 yuan per capita is very good. Of course, if every meal is a seafood dinner, add 50 yuan/day appropriately. You can calculate the extra money for these gifts! About 1250-1500 per person will do, mainly depending on how to spend money.

About bringing RMB and US dollars.

I can only say that Nha Trang, unlike Hanoi, which is close to China, can accept RMB exchange, and it is not cost-effective to exchange RMB for Vietnamese dong. It is recommended to change a little US dollars in domestic banks, about 100-200 dollars. Then take a Huaxia bank card with you, and the first payment in foreign countries is exempt from some domestic handling fees. US dollars can be exchanged for Vietnamese dong at airports, hotels, gold shops and money exchange shops. There are quite a lot of ATMs in Nha Trang. If you don't have enough money, you should take some, and you don't have to worry about not spending enough or spending more money.

You can pay by credit card for accommodation, but there are some places where you have to charge a handling fee. Please ask clearly when you pay for it yourself. If you want to pay the handling fee, it may be better to pay cash; What's the room rate for one day, X4? You can calculate the cost.

Then eat: where the consumption is not high, most of the breakfast will be included in the hotel room rate; Then there is lunch and dinner; Basically, the average person who is better is about 60 RMB; Generally, it's like rice noodles, and it's within RMB in 10 yuan; So basically about 150 RMB a day for two people; Five days is 750 RMB, of course, you can adjust it according to your own actual consumption level;

Then there is the rental or bus fare, and you are just Nha Trang, right? If you don't go anywhere else, the cost is not high; Generally, renting a motorcycle costs about $8-$10 per day. Do the math yourself;

Then there are many kinds of mud bath fees, ranging from tens of dollars cheaper to 200+ more expensive;

That's about it, so add it up and you'll know how much money you need. Not counting accommodation, it is enough for you to bring about 2000 RMB in cash.

Do you take US dollars or RMB?

It's more convenient to bring US dollars. I brought US dollars to the local area to exchange Vietnamese dong.

If you bring a large denomination of US dollars, like $100, please change it to a newer date. Before I go, I saw someone say that the old version will be rejected. So before I go, I will uniformly control the denomination after 2006.

Of course, if it is convenient for you to apply for Huaxia Bank debit card, it is quite recommended. Huaxia Bank is free of charge. Then in Vietnam, Vietcom bank, Sacom

Banks in Vietnam, such as Bank and HSBC, charge fees; Basically avoid these three companies, and there is no handling fee for withdrawing cash from other ATMs.

Try to use BIDV's ATM to withdraw cash. Their machines are newer.

consumption level

In recent years, due to the rapid development of tourism, Vietnam's prices have risen significantly. In terms of consumption, Ho Chi Minh City is the city with high prices in Vietnam, but overall, it is equivalent to the consumption level of third-tier cities in China and belongs to a tourist city with high cost performance.

Generally, if two people spend 10 days in Vietnam, and the accommodation and meals are of a medium level, there is basically no big problem with 3,000 RMB per capita.

(The following is the RMB price)

Catering: 5 yuan RMB with meat sticks, 2 yuan with a cup of yogurt and 10 yuan with a bowl of Vietnamese powder.

Generally, the average person who eats in roadside restaurants is 30 yuan, and the average person who eats in middle and high-end restaurants is 50-80 yuan. Seafood is a little more expensive in Ho Chi Minh, so it is recommended to try it in southern coastal cities such as Nha Trang and Minai.

Accommodation: Accommodation in Viet Nam is not expensive. You can stay in a 3-star hotel around 100 yuan in the tourist gathering area, and breakfast is included. If you are a seaside city, you can stay in a four-star resort around 300 yuan.

Transportation: The taxi fare in Ho Chi Minh is different. Generally, the starting price is RMB in 4 yuan, and it takes about 50-80 yuan from the airport to the downtown area. From Ho Chi Minh to other cities, it is generally a long-distance bus. According to the distance, the charge is different, and the price is around 100-300 yuan.

Entertainment: The ticket price of scenic spots in Vietnam is not high. Generally, the ticket price of scenic spots is about 20 yuan, and the price of one-day tour is about 100+ RMB, which is very cost-effective.

1. Dongxing Port is a common place for China citizens to take a one-day trip to Mang Street.

2. For a one-day trip to Vietnam through Dongxing Port, China citizens need to carry their ID cards and pay about RMB in 200 yuan.

3. If you plan to spend only one day near Mang Street in Vietnam, you don't need to apply for a Vietnamese visa.

However, if you plan to stay in Vietnam for more than one day, or want to travel in Vietnam, you must apply for a Vietnamese visa.

5. The application fee for Vietnamese visa is 260 yuan RMB, valid for one month, allowing single entry.

6. For those who need to travel frequently between China and 1000 yuan, they can choose to apply for a multiple-entry visa valid for three months, and the fee is RMB.
