Nha Trang Trip

Vinpearl Cable Car 📆【Travel Guide】 Let me explain, my girlfriends and I went during the May Day holiday, we booked a tour (including 2 shopping trips), 3500/person (5 days and 6 nights, four-star hotel), which is a bit more expensive than usual. If possible, I recommend traveling on non-holidays. A local guide led our small group of 15 people, which consisted of 5 groups, 3 groups of young people and 2 groups of families with children. Everyone was quite nice. The odd thing was that each of the 5 groups had a different itinerary, with only about 30% overlap in the routes. Many people were on pure leisure trips combined with free time. The guide helped us cancel the shopping trips for convenience, so we also had a pure leisure experience (because my girlfriends and I made it clear we wouldn't shop ). 🚗Transportation Guide: Pick-up and drop-off service. There are not many tourist attractions in Nha Trang, so the schedule is very relaxed, usually returning to the hotel around 5-6 pm to arrange our own time. (Initially, I did some research in a book and saw something about snatch thieves, which made me afraid to go out. But in reality, there were no such incidents, and there were a lot of people around, so many on motorcycles that it would be impossible to get away if someone tried to rob you) --- But still, I suggest being cautious. Any place with few people can be dangerous, so try to avoid less crowded areas. When not shopping or on a free itinerary, we usually walked. For taxis, we took the local public taxis (I think they were white, you can confirm with the guide). The advantage is that they are not expensive, but the downside is that they only speak Vietnamese. We solved this problem by using a translator. 🌟Trip Highlights: The main highlight is Nha Trang Beach, which is really nice. Pearl Island is also okay, especially the roller coaster🎢, a must-try. You can control the speed yourself, it's not too thrilling, and even children can play. Other attractions like the Five Fingers Rock are not much different from those in China, but you can still go and see. 💰Average Spending: 5000/person, including food, drinks, and entertainment. Key point: Asking the guide to add trips directly will cost an extra 100-200. You can DIY your own itinerary. Currency Exchange: Don't exchange money at the domestic airport or with the tour guide. The exchange rate at the domestic airport is 1:3000, at the Vietnam airport it's 1:3200, locally in Vietnam it's 1:3400, and in gold shops it's 1:3498 (the rate when I went). You can exchange money almost anywhere locally, so try not to exchange in advance. 📌Small Tips: Don't shop in malls, it's not cheap, and prices can even be higher than in China. However, it's okay to buy from small stalls, especially fruits, which are very cheap. You can almost achieve 'fruit freedom', but many fruits are not allowed in hotels, so you need to eat them outside. If you want to bring back delicious local specialties, locate the local food markets, the large ones, where you can find good and cheap items. 🧳Pre-trip Preparation: Sunscreen, prepare plenty of it, both physical and chemical types. I got a sun allergy this time. For other things, see what you need. 🏨Hotel Environment: It's okay. The hotel is not big, but it's clean and the breakfast is not bad.
