One of the special things in Vietnam that attracts curious tourists is the food stalls selling fresh food in markets, not the supermarkets filled with frozen goods.

Walking around Vietnamese markets, foreign visitors can see swimming fish, live shrimps, pieces of fresh meat, or fresh tropical vegetables.

Tourism in Vietnam is not expensive while there are numerous interesting things for exploration. Many foreign newspapers rank Vietnam among the cheapest and most reasonable destinations in the world.

Happy Lifestyle Journal said that with only enough money to rent a 3-star hotel in New York, a traveler can enjoy luxury services at 5 star hotels or luxury resorts in Vietnam.

Vietnam is known for being an affordable travel destination, but even in the cities with higher living costs such as Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, there are still plenty of affordable accommodation options available for backpackers. Many inns and hostels offer rooms at reasonable prices, making it possible for travelers on a budget to explore the cities without breaking the bank.

In Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, backpackers can find a range of options from basic dormitory-style rooms to private rooms with ensuite bathrooms. These accommodations often offer communal areas where travelers can socialize and meet other like-minded individuals. Additionally, many of these hostels and inns are located in convenient areas, making it easy for backpackers to access popular tourist sites and explore the cities.

The affordable accommodation options available in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City make it possible for backpackers to extend their stay and explore the many attractions that these cities have to offer.
