Most travellers are attracted to Vietnam because of the country’s wonderful natural beauty.
There is a diverse range of products, from wooden wares such as wooden buttons or cinder beds to lacquer paintings, bowls and chopsticks, bamboo screens and stone tea sets.
Woven tapestries, “tho cam” handbags and other handicrafts produced by women of minority communities are available in Sapa, Mai Chau and Dien Bien Phu. Souvenirs made of rattan, gold, silver and stone are available as well.
An integral part of an authentic Vietnam travel experience is sampling its exotic cuisine which is an art unto itself. Vietnamese dishes such as noodle soup (pho), pork sausage (gio lua), spring rolls (nem ran) and fish balls (cha ca) are favourite choices amongst Westerners.
Metered taxis are available in big cities. The current price is about US$ 0.5 per kilometre. A taxi ride from Tan Son Nhat Airport (Ho Chi Minh City) to downtown Ho Chi Minh City costs about US$ 6. A taxi ride from Noi Bai Airport (Ha Noi) to downtown Ha Noi costs about US$ 15. Most taxi drivers speak limited English.
