itinerary summary

The little rich guy’s favorite theme this year is war. Last time I went thereSeoul War Memorial of Korea,Seodaemun PrisonIt’s really impressive, so this time Hanoi, Vietnam has specially planned war-themed attractions such as the Vietnam Military History Museum, Furnace Prison, and B52 Victory Museum. In addition to the must-see attractions in Hanoi’s old town, the rich man also booked some rides in the suburbs of Hanoi The one-day trip, which takes about 2-3 hours, is not expensive. It costs about NT$1,500 to 2,000 per adult. It includes a car, food, and fun. Rich people think it is economical. In fact, before setting off, the rich man asked local hotels to see if there were any similar itineraries, but the prices quoted by the hotels were actually higher than what he had booked through Klook. It was true.

airline

This petty bourgeoisie trip was booked on VietJet, a low-cost airline from Vietnam. The fare without luggage is about NT$6,500. It doesn't seem to be very cheap, but there is nothing you can do about traveling during the winter vacation.

This time I ordered the air tickets through Easy Travel. The rich man discovered one thing, that is, it will be cheaper to buy luggage from Vietjet Air’s official website. You only need to book the air tickets on Easy Travel. Buy luggage. For 20 kilograms of luggage, the price on Yiyou.com is NT$600, while on Vietjet Air’s official website, it is only 420,000 VND, which is about NT$520, so you save a little (laughs).

exchange money

Currently, Bank of Taiwan and Mega Bank can directly exchange, and you can use the "Online foreign exchange settlement Easy purchase』I applied online, but the exchange rate is definitely not good, so I exchange a little bit first, then wait until Hanoi and go to the local money exchange to change more (laughs).

This time when the rich man exchanged money locally in Vietnam, he did it directly at Hanoi Noi Bai International Airport. After getting his luggage and clearing customs, there were 4 or 5 options to choose from. It felt quite competitive. In addition to the exchange rate on the signboard, the staff also We will directly use the computer to give you a more favorable exchange rate! The store sign that the rich man met said that 1 USD can be exchanged for 24,320 VND, but on the computer he quoted 24,500, which was better than the exchange rate on the sign. But it’s not too much, so don’t worry about it too much. In addition to changing money, these stores also sell Internet, itinerary, and taxis to downtown Hanoi. They are half travel agencies (laughs).

transportation

The rich family arrived in January this yearCebu Family Travel, I used the Grab APP to take a few taxi rides in Cebu City. It was really convenient to use the credit card directly to take the taxi without having to change. Grab is also very popular in Hanoi City, Vietnam, so you can install Grab first and use it before departure. Complete registration. For detailed taxi rides and Grab usage sharing, please refer to Grab APP usage experience This is it.

I would also like to record it hereTake a super exciting Grab Bike experience in Hanoi.

Restaurant

Because many one-day tours have pick-up and drop-off locations limited to the Old Quarter of Hanoi, for the sake of convenience, the hotel location this time was chosen near the Old Quarter and Hoan Kiem Lake.

This time I booked a hotel from Booking.com, and the payment method was to pay locally in Vietnam, but I didn’t expect that two hotels (Golden Rooster Hotel, Granded Collection Hotel), there is an additional fee for on-site payment. Alas, cash is the way to go, but the rich man has a credit card discount from Booking.com, so he still has to be charged an extra fee of 3%. For details, please refer to2024 Booking.com Credit Card OffersThis article. The rich man used his credit card at UNIQLO and Tops supermarkets in Vietnam and was not overcharged by 3%. However, he was also charged a credit card handling fee when dining at a restaurant in the old town. Please ask before swiping the card.

There is a 3% handling fee for payment by card in hotels in Vietnam.
