What to take home when visiting Vietnam

As soon as your vacation in the amazing hotels in Vietnam comes to its end you start thinking about what presents to buy for your family and your friends. Right here is some valuable information that could help you with your choise. Gifts and souvenirs from Vietnam Most of the visitors prefer to take souvenirs and gifts with them when they go home. The following suggestions are ‘fairly Vietnamese’, but not too heavy or bulky. You can find a number of souvenir shops providing a huge variety of souvenirs, wall hangings, draperies, robes, Oil paintings, Silk paintings, traditional handicrafts and many others. You can ask in the reception in your hotel in Vietnam, where there are these kinds of shops. Good quality Vietnamese tea Tea could be bought in specialist shops in the major cities. There is a large variety of tea with different flavours. Good quality 'Trung Nguyen' Vietnamese coffee Robusta coffee beans from Trung Nguyen (the Central Highlands) can be a attractive gift at acceptable price. Arabica would be far more high-priced. An unusual present would be some ‘Weasel Coffee', but it is advisable to explain the recipient how it is produced as soon as he or she has experienced its mellow taste. Ceramics and pottery Objects vary from fine porcelain to simple fired clay objects, as well as the array is enormous. Small tea sets make ideal presents. Vietnamese silk Genuine Vietnamese silk is mostly muted in coloring – bright colours are often indicative of Chinese imports or synthetic fibres. Quality varies widely. Stones You can find plenty of jewellery shops in the major cities providing a bewildering array of gemstones, both authentic and fake. Pearls, both fresh and saltwater, are popular – the latter are mostly farmed. Amethyst, aquamarine, corundum, jade, peridot, ruby, spinel, sapphires, and topaz are also on sale.
