Time allocation ✈🚌🚢
We are very greedy to travel Sapa / Ha Long Bay / Ninh Binh / Hanoi in one go, but we don’t want to wrap up our luggage many times and to maximize the time we spend on the ground
We try to arrange transportation days on the same day, that is, getting off the plane and taking the bus, and just getting off the bus and taking the cruise 😆
The detailed itinerary will be placed in the article of Sapa / Ha Long Bay / Ninh Binh / Hanoi, if you are interested, please click the following links:

Touring 🐱 🐉
Go through customs 👨🏻 ✈️
Noi Bai International Airport (HAN)
The customs officer didn’t ask for a tip, but just flipped through my passport with a boring face, making me suspect that he wanted to dig out the money 😏
The customs officer just scanned the passport and got the information, and did not ask for a paper visa and asked any questions
There weren’t many people in line either, and it took 10 minutes to go
Cross the street 🚦👀🚗🚕🛵🏍
1. Stay relaxed and confident
2.Move forward smoothly and pay attention to oncoming traffic on the left and
right
3.Never turn back or stop!!!
*Smart Vietnamese motorcyclists will automatically move according to your movement, but don’t bet against big cars
👛 Bargaining
Bargain in the local market
1.Carefully observe what you want to buy
2.Ask the price
3.No matter how much the other party quotes, cut 50% first, and then raise it
Lovely reminder of crossing the street and bargaining from the hotel 🙂
Tips 🐸
1. Vietnamese people did not have the habit of tipping, and it is OK not to tip
2. Popular places for tourism: tour guides, spas, restaurants,
if their service makes the tour more enjoyable, express some of your gratitude
Count the money 💵
1. After ignoring the 3 zeros from the amount, × 1.3 to NTD value
2. Remember the color of the banknote a little, and you can get the money right better
3. The best trick: Count for a long time, then smile awkwardly, and the clerk will help you count 😆
I met a lot of clerks who would spread out the money, match it one by one, and then collect the correct amount of banknotes
Find a restaurant 🍕🌮🧀🥩
Use Google maps to find restaurants, and if you find a high score of restaurants, you should be careful
Some restaurants will ask customers to give ★★★★★
Therefore, if the restaurant has a too high rating, you should pay more attention to the reviews to judge whether there is artificially boosting ratings 💧
