International travelers learn about the daily lives of Vietnamese people

XÍCH LÔ RIDDING

The xích lô is a means of touring the city's scenic spots, which is a special cultural feature of our country. Some locals also say that xích lô is a traditional means for foreign visitors coming to Vietnam. At famous tourist destinations such as Da Nang, Hoi An, Ho Chi Minh City, or Ha Noi... we can easily see tourists relaxing, sitting on a xích lô, watching the busy streets and wards, feeling the daily lives of local people, and the sound of the driver making conversation, which will be a memorable experience for every traveler.

ENJOYING A CUP OF VIETNAMESE COFFEE

Coffee is not only a drink, but it also represents the culture and lifestyle of Vietnamese people. The strong taste of Vietnamese coffee always leaves a strong impression on tourists here in Vietnam. When enjoying Vietnamese coffee for the first time, you will surely be amazed by the famous bitterness. But if you are not used to that bitterness, other special drinks such as egg coffee, salt coffee... will also guarantee to steal your heart. Sitting in a fancy shop or just a small roadside coffee house, watching the busy people and sipping a cup of Vietnamese coffee is a great experience for international travelers in Vietnam.

ROWING AND PICKING FRUITS

Garden tourism has long been favoured by many travelers for the unexpected excitement that this type of tourism offers. Sitting on a small boat rowing along the rivers, visitors can observe the river life of the locals. Besides traveling along the river and enjoying a bowl of delicious crab paste vermicelli soup or hủ tiếu, the boat will also take you through the green gardens with shady orchards such as: An Binh isle (Vinh Long), My Khanh (Can Tho), Cai Mon (Ben Tre), Cai Be (Tien Giang)... Visitors can pick up fresh fruits on their own and eat them on the spot, which is a truly unique experience.

TRYING VIETNAMESE STREET FOOD

Vietnamese street food offers a very interesting experience for foreign visitors because of its "5-star quality right on the sidewalk" at an affordable price. Everywhere in Vietnam, you can find countless tourists strolling on the streets looking for street vendors to enjoy phở, crab paste vermicelli, bread, sticky rice, or grilled corn, boiled sweet potatoes, mixed rice paper, and sweet and cool sweet soups, and then remember the taste of these foods forever.

VISITING HISTORICAL MONUMENTS AND MUSEUMS

The monuments, museums, or picture galleries are also popular destinations that foreign travelers often visit when coming to Vietnam. These spots are considered an interesting destination for not only history lovers but also for those who love to have a nostalgic experience. The most popular destinations are Independence Palace (a historical museum and a place to display many exquisite ornaments from the 70s); Vietnam National Fine Arts Museum, an ideal spot for those who love culture and art; Cham museum, where the sculpture arts of the Cham Pa kingdom are displayed and kept; War Remnants Museum, which represents a vivid picture of Vietnam in the time of war against the United States...
