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。

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。

Take a bus, ferry or train to the world’s best locations

Find my travel tickets

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

The unit of currency in Vietnam is the Vietnamese Dong (VND).

The best places to exchange currency in Vietnam are at banks and gold/jewelry shops. I’ve tried both in Ho Chi Minh City and I got excellent rates both times. I think the gold shop may have been better but not by much.

I exchange currency at a gold shop near Ba Chieu Market but I read that gold/jewelry shops around Ben Thanh Market offer the best rates.

You can exchange currency at some hotels as well but the rates generally aren’t good or they charge you an additional fee for the service. Same goes for the airport.

If you’ll be arriving at Tan Son Nhat Airport and need to exchange currency, then change a small amount there, just enough to get you into the city, and change the rest at a bank or gold shop.

A better alternative perhaps would be to withdraw VND from an ATM. I find myself doing this more often these days. In my case, the rates are comparable and it saves me the hassle of having to bring too much foreign currency.

Just be sure to inform your bank that you’ll be using your ATM card abroad so you don’t run into any issues. In my experience, my ATM card works in some machines but not in others.

NOTE: Some ATM machines may ask you if you’d like to proceed with or without conversion. Always choose WITHOUT conversion. Proceeding with conversion authorizes the foreign bank operating the ATM to perform the conversion, usually at terrible rates.

BEST AREAS TO STAY IN SAIGON

The best place to stay in Saigon is District 1. It’s the main commercial hub and home to many of the city’s top tourist attractions.

Listed below are some of the most convenient areas to stay in Ho Chi Minh City, along with a color-coded map to help you better understand where each of these areas are. Click on the link for a live version of the map. (Please note that marked areas are approximations only)

RED – District 1
ORANGE – District 2
BLUE – District 3
GREEN – District 5

I’ll provide targeted links under each description but you can book accommodations in Saigon through Booking.com or Agoda.

DISTRICT 1

If it’s your first time in Ho Chi Minh City, then you’ll be spending most of your time in District 1. It’s Saigon’s commercial hub and home to a wide range of hotels, restaurants, cafes, and bars.

District 1 is also where you’ll find some of the city’s most popular tourist attractions like Notre Dame Cathedral, Saigon Central Post Office, Reunification Palace, and Bitexco Financial Tower. You can book a hotel room in District 1 through Booking.com or Agoda.

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

如果您喜欢俯瞰美景，那么您不妨前往位于Bitexco金融大厦49层的西贡天空观景台。这是一个可以360度欣赏胡志明市全景的观景台。

西贡金融塔（Bitexco Financial Tower）是一座莲花造型的建筑，曾是西贡最高的建筑。您可以在门口购买西贡观景台（Saigon Skydeck）的门票，也可以提前通过Klook或Get Your Guide预订。

门票：每人 200,000 越南盾
预计游览时间：约 30 分钟至 1 小时

6. 参加摩托车或自行车之旅

摩托车是越南体验的代名词，尤其是在西贡，一天中的大部分时间，你都能看到成群的摩托车穿梭在城市的街道上。

在胡志明市地铁开通之前，摩托车是游览这座城市的最佳方式，何不参加摩托车之旅来探索一番呢？我参加了一个夜间摩托车之旅，我的司机兼导游身手娴熟地穿梭在车流中，同时还给我讲述了胡志明市的历史，这让我惊叹不已。

您可以在Klook或Get Your Guide上预订摩托车之旅。这是一种体验西贡既有趣又刺激的方式，但如果您不太习惯骑摩托车，那么或许您可以选择人力车之旅（Klook | Get Your Guide）。

7. 参加烹饪课程

每次旅行我们都会尽量安排烹饪课。美食之旅固然能找到当地特色小店，但烹饪课才是了解当地美食的最佳途径。这就像打开了美食的引擎盖，一探究竟。

我们没在西贡上过烹饪课，但我们在会安上过，非常喜欢。如果你想在胡志明市上烹饪课，可以在Cookly上预订。

从西贡出发的一日游

1. 古芝地道

从胡志明市出发，参观古芝地道是最受欢迎的一日游项目。它将带您穿过古芝地道丛林，向您展示越南战争期间越共的地下生活。

参观路线各不相同，但大多数都会让你有机会匍匐穿过著名的隧道，以及试射战争时期使用的武器。我有幸用AK-47步枪开了十枪。

想了解更多图片和信息，请查看我关于古芝地道的帖子。您可以在Klook或Get Your Guide上预订古芝地道之旅。

2.湄公河三角洲

从西贡出发，前往湄公河三角洲一日游也是不错的选择。湄公河三角洲被誉为越南的“粮仓”，是一片肥沃的农业区，每年生产全国超过三分之一的粮食作物。

Rice is the staple crop but coconut palms, fruit orchards, and sugar-cane groves also thrive in the region’s nutrient-rich soil. The delta is home to thousands of animal species, making it one of the most biologically diverse areas in the world.

I spent a few days in the Mekong Delta exploring Ben Tre, Sa Dec, and Can Tho, but you can book a day tour through Klook or Get Your Guide.

3. Can Gio

Can Gio is another fun day trip you can make from Ho Chi Minh City. It’s a coastal suburban district of Saigon located just 40 km southeast of District 1.

Can Gio’s Biosphere Reserve hosts the highest diversity of mangrove-associated plants, invertebrates, fish, and shellfish in the region. It’s the city’s green lung and makes for a nice nature escape from Saigon. You can book a day tour to Can Gio on Klook or Get Your Guide.

VIETNAMESE FOOD GUIDE

Vietnamese is one of our favorite cuisines. It’s the main reason why we keep going back to Vietnam. If you enjoy Vietnamese food as much as we do, then be sure to check out our guide to the best food in Vietnam. It covers many interesting dishes from bun cha in Hanoi to cao lau in Hoi An to com tam in Saigon.

If you have a fondness for the sweeter things in life, then be sure to read our article on the most delicious Vietnamese desserts as well.

WHERE TO EAT IN HO CHI MINH CITY

Our Vietnamese food guide lists some of the best dishes you can try in Vietnam, but if you’d like to know where to eat in Saigon, then you can check out our article on the best restaurants in Ho Chi Minh City. It lists 25 of the best restaurants and street food stalls in Saigon.

Not everyone can visit all 25 eateries on our Saigon restaurant guide so I’ve listed our five favorites below. But be sure to click through to the complete guide for more pictures and information.

1. Banh Mi Huynh Hoa

Banh mi is a Vietnamese national dish. Strictly speaking, it refers to bread but people use it to describe the sandwich made with a personal baguette and a slew of ingredients like pate, cold cuts, pickled vegetables, and cilantro.

Banh Mi Huynh Hoa is arguably the most popular banh mi shop in Saigon. It’s featured on many travel food shows and listed on virtually every Saigon restaurant guide.

I’ve probably eaten at close to thirty banh mi shops throughout Vietnam and the sandwiches at Huynh Hoa are by far the most loaded. It was like eating a fully stacked American hoagie.

The lines at Banh Mi Huynh Hoa can get pretty long but not to worry, they do move fairly quickly. Their sandwiches are definitely worth the wait.

2. Pho Le

和越南法棍一样，越南河粉也是越南的国民美食，是越南最受欢迎的食物之一。虽然各地的越南河粉做法可能略有不同，但其核心食材包括清汤、米粉、肉类（通常是牛肉或鸡肉）和香草。

越南河粉在全国都很受欢迎，但Pho Le绝对是我们最爱的河粉店，不仅在胡志明市，在整个越南都是如此。两位当地人向我们推荐了这家店，称其为西贡最好的河粉店。

如果你在河内吃过越南河粉，就会发现南部河粉的汤底更甜。与北部河粉不同的是，南部河粉还会配上豆芽和一大堆新鲜香草。我个人更喜欢南部河粉。

Pho Le在胡志明市有两家分店，分别位于第三郡和第五郡。您可以参考我们的胡志明市餐厅指南了解更多信息。

3. Bun Thit Nuong Nguyen Trung Truc

烤肉米粉（Bun thit nuong）是我们最喜欢的越南菜之一。它类似于河内的烤肉米粉（Bun cha），是一种干拌米粉，淋上鱼露（nuoc cham），上面放有各种配料，例如烤猪肉、腌胡萝卜、新鲜香草和烤花生。通常会搭配炸春卷（cha gio）一起食用。

我们在西贡的三个不同地方吃过烤肉米粉，这家位于第一区咖啡公寓附近的街头小吃摊是迄今为止最好吃的。

这家店设在街角，几乎没有什么像样的空间，但他们的烤肉米粉（bun thit nuong）味道绝对美味，是我们西贡吃过的最好的街头小吃之一。

4. Oc Oanh

如果你喜欢海鲜，尤其是蜗牛，那你一定会爱上Oc Oanh餐厅。几年前，一位当地人带我们来这里，它很快就成了我们在西贡最喜欢的餐厅之一。

Oc Oanh 位于永庆街。永庆街又被称为“海鲜街”，是胡志明市第四郡的一条街道，被公认为是胡志明市品尝街头美食的最佳地点之一。

永庆街两旁挤满了供应各种海鲜的街头小吃店。Oc Oanh 被许多人认为是这条街上最好的餐厅之一。千万不要错过。

5. Com Ga Xoi Mo Su Su

Com Ga Xoi Mo Su Su 是我们胡志明市最喜欢的餐馆之一。这是一家鸡肉饭餐厅，他们炸鸡的方式非常独特。

这家店的老板自制了一台炸鸡机，将热油从上往下倾倒，浇在水煮好的鸡翅和鸡腿上。油会穿过滤网落入下方的油槽，然后再向上输送。这道菜之所以得名“瀑布鸡”，正是因为这道油流不断倾泻而下的景象。

这种独特的油炸工艺造就了鸡皮酥脆无比的炸鸡。他们将其与红米饭、新鲜沙拉和美味的秘制自制酱汁一起食用。

西贡有哪些值得一去的咖啡馆？

Vietnam is known for its coffee. It’s the second largest producer of coffee in the world, behind only Brazil.

Saigon doesn’t have any unique coffee creations on par with egg coffee in Hanoi or salt coffee in Hue, but what it does have are these quirky cafes located in partially abandoned buildings. You can refer to our article on the best cafes in Ho Chi Minh City for more information.

Of the ten coffeehouses listed in our Saigon coffee guide, these three are my favorites. Do check out the full guide for more pictures and information.

1. Whisfee Cafe

Whisfee Cafe is located inside the 14 Ton That Dam building, which was my favorite among Saigon’s cafe apartment blocks. I liked this building the best because it was the grittiest and hardest to find.

Whisfee Cafe is one of about thirty establishments at 14 Ton That Dam. Inside this partially abandoned building are some of the most interesting cafes, teahouses, bars, and boutiques I visited in Ho Chi Minh City. Check out our Saigon cafe guide for more information.

2. Saigon Oi

Saigon Oi is located inside the Cafe Apartments, the most famous cafe apartment block in Saigon. I found four of these buildings in Ho Chi Minh City and the Cafe Apartments was by far the nicest and most polished.

Saigon Oi is one of the more popular cafes in the Cafe Apartments. It’s a beautiful space that serves cakes, coffee, lassis, and smoothies. Pictured below is a refreshing glass of durian iced coffee.

This is what the Cafe Apartments looks like from the front. Perhaps you’ve seen it on social media?

With more time, I would have loved to explore every establishment in this building. Every cafe, every bar, every boutique looked so quirky and unique.

3. Ca Phe Do Phu

Ca Phe Do Phu wasn’t as hip as the cafes at 14 Ton That Dam and the Cafe Apartments, but it was definitely the most unique.

I had this iced black coffee which is pretty much what you can expect from any standard Vietnamese cafe. But the coffee isn’t why you should visit Ca Phe Do Phu.

Ca Phe Do Phu is located inside the home of a former Viet Cong supporter. Through this trap door on the first floor is an underground bunker housing a cache of old weapons and uniforms.

During the war, the owner would allow members of the Viet Cong to hold secret meetings in his house. He’d hide weapons and artillery and provide refuge to soldiers wanted by the US army.

If you have a fascination for the Vietnam War, then you absolutely need to visit Ca Phe Do Phu. This trap door is just one of many secret passageways you’ll find at the cafe.

POINTS OF INTEREST IN HO CHI MINH CITY

To help you visualize where everything is, I’ve pinned the places recommended in this guide on this map. Click on the link to open a live version of the map in a new window.

HOW TO GET AROUND IN SAIGON

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！
