初次到访胡志明市的游客指南

一些第一次去越南旅行的人可能会问：河内还是胡志明市？它们是越南最大的两个城市，分别位于越南的两端。

虽然我们个人更喜欢河内，但西贡这座城市更令人兴奋，拥有全国最好的街头美食。它比河内更西化、更国际化，拥有更豪华的购物中心、时尚的屋顶酒吧和活力四射的夜生活。

胡志明市对我们来说或许太大太快，但我们总是很期待去那里，因为我们知道那里有很多美味佳肴。从简朴的街头小吃到提供精致越南菜的高档餐厅，在这座城市用餐从来不会让人失望。

说实话，如果你想在西贡寻欢作乐，那么这本旅游指南并不适合你。

但如果你是第一次来胡志明市，正在寻找胡志明市最值得体验的活动和最美味的食物，那么你来对地方了。

如何申请越南电子签证

根据您的国籍，您可能需要电子签证和健康声明才能访问越南。

我持有菲律宾护照，所以可以免签入境越南最多停留21天，但我原本想待整整一个月。我通过iVisa.com网站在线申请了电子签证，获准停留最多30天。

根据您持有的护照类型，所需材料和费用可能有所不同，您可以访问iVisa.com了解更多信息并进行申请。就我而言，整个过程快捷简便。

胡志明市概览

胡志明市位于越南南部，是越南人口最多的城市。它常被误认为是越南首都，但实际上并非如此。越南的首都是位于北部的河内。

该市原名西贡，1976 年与周边嘉定省合并，并更名为胡志明市，以纪念这位在越南战争结束后统一越南的共产主义革命领袖。

如今，这座城市仍然被非正式地称为西贡。由于西贡这个名字较短，因此在日常口语中更为常用，尤其是在越南南部地区。

我们接触的当地人确实称他们的城市为西贡（Saigon），而不是胡志明市（Ho Chi Minh City）。在本指南中，我将交替使用这两个名称。

游览西贡的最佳时间

与北部的河内四季分明的气候不同，西贡只有两个季节——旱季（12月至4月）和雨季（5月至11月）。西贡全年气候温暖，平均气温约为28摄氏度（82华氏度）。

从天气角度来看，12月至3月是游览胡志明市的最佳时间。此时天空晴朗，气温相对温和，湿度也最低。

旱季：胡志明市的旱季为12月至次年4月。这段时间通常被认为是游览西贡（胡志明市所在地）的最佳时节。越南是一个以佛教为主的国家，但他们也庆祝圣诞节和新年，因此12月至1月是游览胡志明市的节日旺季。

雨季：西贡的雨季从五月持续到十一月。此时湿度最高，热带风暴也更加频繁。除非您喜欢潮湿多雨的天气，否则最好选择旱季前往。

我们目前为止去过胡志明市三次——两次在四月份，一次在九月下旬。四月份天气很好，但九月份经常下雨。

计划前往越南旅行时，需要注意的一点是春节（越南新年）假期，通常在1月底到2月初之间。届时许多商家会歇业，住宿价格也会最高。

气候：胡志明市年度月度天气

想了解更多胡志明市的天气信息，请查看holiday-weather.com网站上的气候图表。我还制作了平均气温和年降雨量图表，并用橙色标记了最适合旅游的月份。

前往胡志明市

大多数前往胡志明市的旅客都会经由新山一国际机场抵达，但根据您所在的位置，还有其他方式可以到达那里。

您可以通过Bookaway查看可供选择的路线。您可以点击链接或使用下方的小工具。

乘坐巴士、轮渡或火车前往世界最佳景点

查找我的旅行机票

如果您飞抵胡志明市，则需要安排从机场到第一区的接送服务，机场距离第一区约 8 公里。

乘公交车

这是从机场前往西贡市中心最便宜的方式。您可以在到达航站楼外的巴士站搭乘多条线路的巴士前往市区。

最受欢迎的选择是109路公交车，45分钟即可到达市区。稍快一些的选择是49路公交车，它会在西贡市中心的多家酒店停靠，大约30分钟即可到达市区。最便​​宜但最慢的选择是152路公交车，大约需要一个小时才能到达市区。

我抵达胡志明市后直接前往湄公河三角洲地区，所以汽车站卖票的女士建议我乘坐119路公交车。这趟车直接把我送到汽车站，在那里我需要换乘前往槟椥的巴士。

如果您不确定该乘坐哪辆巴士，可以向机场巴士站的售票员咨询。

私人转让

从机场到酒店，私人接送是最便捷的方式，但价格并不便宜。您或许可以通过酒店安排接送，如果酒店不提供这项服务，您也可以通过Bookaway预订私人接送服务。

通过 Grab

在越南，Grab既便宜又方便。几年前的一次旅行中，我们从机场到市区花了大约65,000越南盾，返回机场花了大约73,000越南盾。根据我的调查，现在单程到第一郡的费用应该在90,000越南盾左右。

乘坐出租车

这将是我最后的选择。从新山一国际机场打车到你在第一郡的酒店，费用大约在15万到20万越南盾之间。

我听说西贡出租车诈骗猖獗，所以务必只选择两家最可靠的公司——Mai Linh（白绿相间）和Vinasun（白色）——这两家公司在机场的官方出租车站都有车。不要理会任何拉客的人，一定要乘坐计程车，因为一口价会更高。

在哪里兑换货币

越南的货币单位是越南盾（VND）。

在越南，兑换货币的最佳地点是银行和金饰店。我在胡志明市都试过，两次汇率都非常不错。我觉得金饰店的汇率可能更好一些，但差别不大。

我在巴昭市场附近的一家金店兑换了货币，但我听说滨城市场附近的金饰店汇率最好。

有些酒店也提供货币兑换服务，但汇率通常不划算，或者会收取额外的服务费。机场的情况也类似。

如果您抵达新山一国际机场并且需要兑换货币，那么请在那里兑换少量货币，刚好够您进城使用，其余的货币请在银行或金店兑换。

或许更好的选择是从ATM机取款。最近我越来越频繁地这样做。对我来说，汇率差不多，而且省去了携带大量外币的麻烦。

务必提前告知您的银行您将在国外使用您的ATM卡，以免出现任何问题。根据我的经验，我的ATM卡在某些机器上能用，但在另一些机器上则不行。

注意：部分ATM机可能会询问您是否要进行货币转换。请务必选择“不进行货币转换”。选择“进行货币转换”即授权运营该ATM机的外国银行进行货币转换，而转换汇率通常非常低。

西贡最佳住宿区域

在西贡，最佳住宿地点是第一区。它是主要的商业中心，也是该市许多顶级旅游景点的所在地。

以下列出了胡志明市一些最便利的住宿区域，并附有彩色地图，帮助您更好地了解每个区域的位置。点击链接即可查看实时地图。（请注意，标记区域仅为大致位置）

红色– 第一区
橙色– 第二区
蓝色– 第三区
绿色– 第五区

我会在每条描述下方提供相关链接，但您也可以通过Booking.com或Agoda预订西贡的住宿。

第一区

如果你是第一次来胡志明市，那么你大部分时间都会待在第一区。第一区是西贡的商业中心，拥有各种各样的酒店、餐厅、咖啡馆和酒吧。

第一区也是西贡一些最热门旅游景点的所在地，例如圣母大教堂、西贡中央邮局、统一宫和西贡金融塔。您可以通过Booking.com或Agoda预订第一区的酒店客房。

Check out some of the top-rated hotels in District 1.

DISTRICT 2

If you’d prefer a quieter stay in Ho Chi Minh City, then perhaps District 2 would be better. It’s the residential area of choice for many affluent locals and expats living in Saigon.

There are plenty of restaurants and cafes in District 2 but not much in the way of tourist attractions, so it may not be the most convenient area to stay for first-time visitors. But once the Ho Chi Minh City metro opens in 2024, it’ll be much easier to get around the city. You can book a room in District 2 on Booking.com or Agoda.

Listed below are some of the most highly-rated accommodation options in District 2.

DISTRICT 3

District 3 is where we stayed on our last two trips to Saigon. It’s the area directly northwest of District 1.

We enjoy staying in District 3 because it’s home to plenty of good restaurants, cafes, and street food stalls, but it’s a bit of a walk from the main attractions in District 1. If you don’t enjoy walking, then you may need to book a Grab often.

On one trip, we stayed at M2C+ Cafe which is right at the border of District 3 and District 1. On our most recent trip, we stayed at the Babylon D3 Serviced Apartments (Booking.com | Agoda) which is farther away from District 1.

Both places were nice but they may be a bit far for first-time visitors. For example, it’s about a 15-minute walk to Ben Thanh Market from M2C+ Cafe and 30 minutes from Babylon D3.

I enjoy walking so I didn’t mind the distance, but some people might. In any case, this will matter less with the opening of the Saigon metro. You can book a room in District 3 on Booking.com or Agoda.

Here are some of the top-rated hotels in District 3.

DISTRICT 5

District 5 is home to Ho Chi Minh City’s Chinatown. We haven’t explored this area as much but it’s home to many Buddhist temples and Binh Tay Market, which is the largest market in Vietnam.

If you like Buddhist temples and Chinese street food, then this may be an interesting area for you to stay. You can book a room in District 5 on Booking.com and Agoda.

Check out some of the top accommodation options in Distict 5.

You can also book hotels and homestays in Ho Chi Minh City using the handy map below.

THINGS TO DO IN HO CHI MINH CITY

1. Take a City Tour of Saigon

We don’t find Ho Chi Minh City to be as walkable as Hanoi so it isn’t as easy to go from one tourist attraction to the next. You can use Grab Bike to get around on your own or you can book a guided tour.

Klook and Get Your Guide offer tours that take you to Saigon’s top tourist attractions like Saigon Central Post Office (pictured below), Notre Dame Cathedral, Thien Hau Temple, and Reunification Hall.

Estimated Time to Spend: At least half a day

2. Visit the War Remnants Museum

Some city tours will make a stop at the War Remnants Museum, but if you have a particular interest in the Vietnam War, then you may want to visit this place on your own. I did and I spent a good two hours perusing the museum’s many exhibits.

On display at the War Remnants Museum are photographs, memorabilia, artillery, and vehicles of war like tanks, helicopters, even fighter jets. Some of the exhibits are a little depressing, especially the one on Agent Orange, so it may not be for everyone.

Check out my article on the War Remnants Museum in Saigon for more pictures and information. Get Your Guide offers several tours that take you to the War Remnants Museum.

Admission: VND 40,000 per person
Estimated Time to Stay: Around 1-2 hrs

3. Explore Ben Thanh Market

Located in the heart of District 1, Ben Thanh Market is the most famous market in Ho Chi Minh City. It’s one of the earliest surviving structures in Saigon and viewed as an important symbol of the city.

Inside the market are over 1,500 stalls selling a variety of goods like food, souvenirs, clothing, craft items, and shoes. If you get hungry after exploring the market, then you may want to grab bite to eat at Ben Thanh Street Food Market which is a trendy food hall about a block away.

Estimated Time to Stay: Around 30 mins – 1 hr

4. Visit the Museum of Fine Arts

I rode by this beautiful building while on a motorbike tour. Located near Ben Thanh Market, it’s one of the country’s biggest art museums housed in a lovely colonial-era mansion.

Exhibit reviews are lukewarm but people seem to agree that the building itself is the museum’s main draw. Built in 1929, this yellow and white mansion is a combination of French and Chinese architectural styles. It features intricate tiles, stained glass, and one Saigon’s oldest lifts.

Admission: VND 30,000 per person
Estimated Time to Stay: Around 2-3 hrs

5. Enjoy the View from Saigon Skydeck

If you like bird’s eye views, then you’ll probably want to visit Saigon Skydeck on the 49th floor of Bitexco Financial Tower. It’s an observation deck offering 360° panoramic views of Ho Chi Minh City.

Bitexco Financial Tower is a lotus-shaped building that was once the tallest building in Saigon. You can purchase tickets to Saigon Skydeck at the gate or in advance through Klook or Get Your Guide.

Admission: VND 200,000 per person
Estimated Time to Stay: Around 30 mins – 1 hr

6. Go on a Motorbike or Cyclo Tour

Motorbikes are synonymous with the Vietnam experience, especially here in Saigon where you’ll find schools of them flowing through the city’s streets at most times of the day.

Until the HCMC metro opens, motorbikes are the best way to get around the city so why not explore it on a motorbike tour? I went on this evening motorbike tour and I was amazed by how skillfully my driver / tour guide would weave through traffic while recounting to me the history of Ho Chi Minh City.

You can book a motorbike tour on Klook or Get Your Guide. They’re a fun and thrilling way of experiencing Saigon but if you aren’t as comfortable riding motorbikes, then perhaps you’d rather go on a cyclo tour (Klook | Get Your Guide) instead.

7. Take a Cooking Class

Taking a cooking class is something we try to do on every trip. Food tours are great for finding local hole-in-the-walls but cooking classes are the best way to learn about the local cuisine. It’s like looking under the cuisine’s hood.

We haven’t done it in Saigon but we’ve taken a cooking class in Hoi An and we loved it. If you’d like to take a cooking class in Ho Chi Minh City, then you can book one on Cookly.

DAY TRIPS FROM SAIGON

1. Cu Chi Tunnels

A tour of the Cu Chi Tunnels is the most popular day tour you can make from Ho Chi Minh City. It takes you through the Cu Chi jungle to show you what subterranean life was like for the Viet Cong during the Vietnam War.

Tours vary but most will give you the chance to crawl through the famed tunnels as well as fire weapons used during the war. I got to fire ten rounds from an AK-47.

Check out my post on the Cu Chi Tunnels for more pictures and information. You can book a Cu Chi Tunnels tour on Klook or Get Your Guide.

2. Mekong Delta

A visit to the Mekong Delta is another popular day trip you can make from Saigon. Considered Vietnam’s “rice bowl”, the delta is a fertile agricultural area that produces more than a third of the country’s annual food crop.

水稻是当地的主要作物，但椰子树、果园和甘蔗林也在该地区肥沃的土壤中茁壮生长。三角洲是数千种动物的家园，使其成为世界上生物多样性最丰富的地区之一。

我在湄公河三角洲待了几天，游览了槟椥、沙沥和芹苴，但你也可以通过Klook或Get Your Guide预订一日游。

3. Can Gio

从胡志明市出发，芹蒢也是一个不错的短途一日游目的地。它是西贡的一个沿海郊区，位于第一郡东南方向仅40公里处。

芹蒢生物圈保护区拥有该地区最丰富的红树林相关植物、无脊椎动物、鱼类和贝类。它是这座城市的“绿肺”，也是远离西贡喧嚣、亲近自然的好去处。您可以在Klook或Get Your Guide上预订芹蒢一日游。

越南美食指南

越南菜是我们最爱的菜系之一，也是我们不断重返越南的主要原因。如果您也和我们一样热爱越南美食，那就一定要看看我们精心准备的越南美食指南。指南涵盖了许多令人垂涎的菜肴，从河内的烤肉米粉（bun cha）到会安的高楼面（cao lau） ，再到西贡的豆饭（com tam），应有尽有。

如果你喜欢生活中甜蜜的事物，那么也一定要阅读我们关于最美味的越南甜点的文章。

胡志明市哪里吃饭

我们的越南美食指南列出了一些您可以在越南品尝到的最佳菜肴，但如果您想知道在西贡（胡志明市）哪里吃饭，那么您可以查看我们关于胡志明市最佳餐厅的文章。该文章列出了西贡25家最佳餐厅和街头小吃摊。

并非每个人都能光顾我们西贡餐厅指南上的全部25家餐厅，所以我在下面列出了我们最喜欢的五家。但请务必点击查看完整指南，了解更多图片和信息。

1. 越南黄花面包

越南法棍是越南的国民美食。严格来说，它指的是面包，但人们通常用它来指代用法棍面包夹着各种配料（如肉酱、冷切肉、腌制蔬菜和香菜）制成的三明治。

胡因花越南面包店可以说是西贡最受欢迎的越南面包店。它曾多次出现在旅游美食节目中，几乎每本西贡餐厅指南上都有它的身影。

我在越南各地大概吃过近三十家越南法棍店， Huynh Hoa 的法棍绝对是馅料最足的。简直就像在吃一份满满的美式潜艇堡。

Banh Mi Huynh Hoa 的队伍可能会很长，但不用担心，队伍移动速度很快。他们的三明治绝对值得等待。

2. Pho Le

Like banh mi, pho is a national dish and one of the most popular Vietnamese foods. Bowls of pho may vary from place to place but at its core, its made with clear stock, rice noodles, meat (typically beef or chicken), and herbs.

Pho is popular throughout the country but Pho Le is hands down our favorite place to have pho not just in Ho Chi Minh City, but in all of Vietnam. It was recommended to us by two locals who called it the best pho restaurant in Saigon.

If you’ve had pho in Hanoi, then you’ll notice that southern pho has a sweeter broth. Unlike its northern counterpart, it’s also served with bean sprouts and a mountain of fresh herbs. Personally, I prefer southern pho.

Pho Le has two outlets in Ho Chi Minh City, one in District 3 and another in District 5. You can refer to our Ho Chi Minh City restaurant guide for more information.

3. Bun Thit Nuong Nguyen Trung Truc

Bun thit nuong is one of our favorite Vietnamese dishes. Similar to Hanoi’s bun cha, it’s a dry noodle dish made with rice vermicelli noodles dressed in nuoc cham and topped with a variety of ingredients like grilled pork, pickled carrots, fresh herbs, and roasted peanuts. It’s usually served with cha gio which is a deep-fried spring roll.

We’ve had bun thit nuong at three different places in Saigon and this street food stall near the Cafe Apartments in District 1 was by far the best.

Set up on a street corner with no real space to speak of, their bun thit nuong is absolutely delicious and one of the best street food meals we had in Saigon.

4. Oc Oanh

If you like seafood, particularly snails, then you’re going to love Oc Oanh. A local took us here a few years ago and it quickly became one our favorite places to eat in Saigon.

Oc Oanh is located on Vinh Khanh Street. Nicknamed “Seafood Street”, it’s a street in District 4 that’s recognized as one of the best places to have street food in Ho Chi Minh City.

Vinh Khanh Street is packed on either side with street food restaurants serving a variety of seafood. Oc Oanh is considered by many to be one of the best restaurants along this strip. Don’t miss it.

5. Com Ga Xoi Mo Su Su

Com Ga Xoi Mo Su Su is one of our favorite eateries in Ho Chi Minh City. It’s a chicken and rice restaurant that fries their chicken in the most unique way.

The owner of the shop built this frying machine that pours hot oil from the top down onto poached chicken wings and thighs. The oil would fall through the screen and into a well below before being sent up again. This continuous waterfall of oil is where the dish gets its name – waterfall chicken.

This unique frying process results in a fried chicken dish with the crispiest skin. They serve it with red rice, a fresh salad, and a delicious secret homemade sauce.

WHICH CAFES TO VISIT IN SAIGON

越南以咖啡闻名。它是世界第二大咖啡生产国，仅次于巴西。

西贡没有像河内鸡蛋咖啡或顺化盐咖啡那样独具特色的咖啡饮品，但它却拥有许多位于半废弃建筑中的风格独特的咖啡馆。您可以参考我们关于胡志明市最佳咖啡馆的文章了解更多信息。

在我们的西贡咖啡指南中列出的十家咖啡馆里，这三家是我的最爱。更多图片和信息，请查看完整指南。

1. Whisfee咖啡馆

Whisfee咖啡馆位于14吨塔坝大楼内，这栋楼是我在西贡众多咖啡馆公寓楼中最喜欢的。我最喜欢这栋楼，因为它最破旧，也最难找到。

Whisfee Cafe是位于14 Ton That Dam的约30家商铺之一。在这座半废弃的建筑里，隐藏着我在胡志明市探访过的一些最有趣的咖啡馆、茶馆、酒吧和精品店。更多信息，请查看我们的西贡咖啡馆指南。

2. 西贡之声

Saigon Oi 位于西贡最著名的咖啡公寓大楼——咖啡公寓内。我在胡志明市找到了四栋这样的建筑，而咖啡公寓无疑是其中最漂亮、最精致的。

Saigon Oi是Cafe Apartments里比较受欢迎的咖啡馆之一。它环境优美，供应蛋糕、咖啡、酸奶昔和冰沙。下图是一杯清爽的榴莲冰咖啡。

这就是咖啡公寓的正面照片。或许你在社交媒体上见过它？

如果时间更充裕，我真想把这栋楼里的每一家店都逛一遍。每家咖啡馆、每家酒吧、每家精品店看起来都那么别致独特。

3. Ca Phe Do Phu

Ca Phe Do Phu 虽然不如 14 Ton That Dam 和 Cafe Apartments 的咖啡馆那么时髦，但它绝对是最独特的。

我点了一杯冰黑咖啡，这跟任何一家普通的越南咖啡馆里的咖啡都差不多。但咖啡并不是你来Ca Phe Do Phu的理由。

Ca Phe Do Phu 位于一位前越共支持者的家中。穿过一楼的活板门，便可进入一个地下掩体，里面藏有大量旧武器和制服。

战争期间，房主允许越共成员在他的房子里举行秘密会议。他会藏匿武器和大炮，并为美军通缉的士兵提供庇护。

如果你对越南战争感兴趣，那么你绝对应该去Ca Phe Do Phu咖啡馆看看。这扇暗门只是这家咖啡馆里众多秘密通道之一。

如何在西贡出行

As described, we don’t find Ho Chi Minh City to be as walkable as Hanoi. The sidewalks are more congested, places of interest are farther apart, streets are wider, and there are a lot more motorbikes. Even crossing the street felt like a life or death situation!

Until the HCMC metro opens, then the easiest way to get around Saigon is by Grab Car or Grab Bike. Personally, I prefer the latter because it’s faster and cheaper. I use it often in Saigon.

No matter how you get around, I highly recommend using the Google Maps app (iOS|Android) to navigate. It’ll tell you all the possible ways to get from point A to point B using any city’s public transportation system. It’s accurate and very reliable.

HOW MANY DAYS TO STAY / SAIGON ITINERARY

Saigon is a big cosmopolitan city but it doesn’t have as much in the way of historical or cultural attractions. You can visit the city’s top attractions in a day.

Assuming you’d like to visit the Cu Chi Tunnels and the Mekong Delta during your stay in Ho Chi Minh City, then 3 days should be good. Here’s a 3D/4N sample itinerary to help you plan your trip.

SAIGON TRAVEL TIPS

1. Plan your Trip with Sygic Travel

What’s the hardest part about trip planning? For me, it’s how to make an efficient itinerary. It’s easy enough to learn where to go, but figuring out how to organize it all is the difficult part. Thankfully, there’s Sygic Travel.

I’ve been using this trip planning app for many years now. It allows me to plot points of interest on a map so I can see where everything is and create as efficient an itinerary as possible. You can download it for free on iTunes or Google Play.

2. Rent a Pocket Wifi Device

Simply put, you need a good wifi connection when you travel. Not having one at all times is inconvenient and keeps you from doing research, checking email, and posting on social media. Without it, we wouldn’t have been able to book Grab rides in Saigon.

您可以购买SIM卡或租用便携式Wi-Fi设备来获得稳定的Wi-Fi连接。我们更倾向于后者，所以我们通过Klook租了一个4G便携式Wi-Fi设备。如果您更倾向于购买SIM卡，您可以选择在新山一国际机场领取，或者让SIM卡送到您的酒店。另一种选择是使用eSIM卡。

3. 让摩托车避开你

西贡的摩托车交通简直疯狂。一辆辆两轮车像鱼群一样在街道上川流不息。如果你稍有犹豫，那就永远也别想离开人行道了。

正如我们的一位导游向我们解释的那样，你只需要自信地走，让他们避开你。越南人几乎从娘胎里出来就骑摩托车，所以他们知道自己在做什么。

当地人总是目不转睛地盯着前方，以便能够迅速做出反应，避开正前方的任何东西，无论是另一辆摩托车、路灯杆，还是你。

我们试了几次，确实有效。我的意思是，我们不也活下来了吗？我当然不是说这是万无一失的方法，但如果你像越南的胆小鬼一样，那就永远不敢过马路。

找个合适的过马路地点，把握好时机，然后自信谨慎地前进。

4. 仅接受越南盾支付

如果商品报价以越南盾为单位，那就用越南盾支付。不要用美元或其他货币支付，因为汇率不好。

酒店和餐厅可能接受美元付款，但千万别这么做。每次都会亏本，所以只用越南盾支付。如前所述，银行和持牌货币兑换处才是西贡兑换货币的最佳场所。

5. 不要被货币搞糊涂了

越南货币是我见过最令人困惑的货币之一。面额上的多个零已经够让人摸不着头脑了，而且不同面额的纸币颜色往往非常相似。例如，10万越南盾的纸币和1万越南盾的纸币颜色都偏绿。

我在公交车上无意中听到游客们的谈话，其中一位女士犯了个错误，她用一张面值20万越南盾、同样是红色的钞票买了一罐价值5万越南盾的可口可乐。等她意识到自己犯错时，已经太晚了。

递交账单时要小心，因为并非所有商家都会在你出错时纠正你。

6. 查看西贡旅游优惠

我经常在几个网站上购买旅行相关的优惠券，但我最喜欢的是Klook和Get Your Guide。它们提供的选择通常最多，而且网站也最容易操作。

点击这些链接即可查看Klook和Get Your Guide上所有西贡优惠的完整列表。即使最终没有购买任何东西，我也很喜欢浏览他们的网站，因为我经常能发现一些自己平时想不到的独特活动。

7. 购买旅行保险

我们并非每次旅行都会购买旅行保险。这取决于我们去哪里、停留多久以及我们会做什么。

如果我们只是去某个地方吃吃喝喝、逛逛街几天，那可能就不需要保险了。但如果我们计划进行滑雪或骑马等户外活动，那肯定会购买保险。

点击链接即可从Heymondo获取免费报价。非美国居民可享5%折扣。

8. 带上合适的电源适配器

越南的电源插座类型有A型、C型和F型，请务必携带适合您设备的电源适配器。越南的电压为220伏，标准频率为50赫兹。

玩得开心！
