1. Lacquerware: The lacquerware of Vietnam is well known for its intricate designs and heavy colors. From trays to boxes and even decorative paintings, these are handcrafted items that are as functional as they are beautiful.
2. Ao Dai: Being the iconic traditional Vietnamese attire, Ao Dai is just something with which one can perfectly carry home a piece of cultural elegance. Get one tailor-made from a local tailor to give it that personal touch.
3. Conical Hats (Non La): Non-La has been a lighter, practical, steeped version of the classical symbol of Vietnam. It can be a beautiful keepsake or decoration.
Ho Chi Minh City can be visited any time of the year, but the dry season, from December to April, is the best time to visit the city and its environs during the best weather. This is a period when the skies are clear and temperatures so pleasant that one can just walk around the cultural landmarks of the city or head to the Mekong Delta. If you like the festive atmosphere, it’s a good idea to go there in late January or February during Lunar New Year-Tеt. Because of all the decoration, the city is so colorful, and you’ll have the chance to participate in some of the traditional festivities.
For Australian travelers, the visa process in Vietnam is relatively straightforward and quite traveler-friendly. For a stay of 15 days or less, Australians can travel to Vietnam without needing a visa. If it will be a longer stay than that, however, you should obtain a visa. The simplest option is getting an e-visa, which allows for single-entry visits of as long as 30 days.
The Vietnamese Dong is the currency of Vietnam, and it is highly important in daily transactions, especially in local markets and smaller establishments. Credit cards are acceptable in hotels and upscale restaurants, though most vendors prefer cash.
Packing smart will make you ready for both the tropical climate and dynamic activities of Vietnam. Here is a checklist that will lead you:
