Is it convenient to use RMB in Vietnam?

1, RMB can't be traded directly in Vietnam, which means RMB can't be used for shopping in Vietnam, but RMB can be exchanged for Vietnamese dong in gold shops, which is also the most exchanged form, and the exchange rate is more suitable.

2. In addition, there are restrictions on China people bringing cash into Vietnam, and the maximum amount cannot exceed 20,000 RMB. More than 20,000 must be in declare in advance.

3. Vietnamese dong is a large currency, so when shopping, you must see the 0 behind the number clearly.

Yes, many shops can accept RMB now. Of course, it is most convenient to change it to Vietnamese dong. It can also be exchanged in the money market. In the market, many women sit on the bed with a big iron box beside the bed. They specialize in currency exchange business. I remember I was 1 RMB for 3,700 Vietnamese dong.

With the continuous improvement of China's national strength, the international influence of RMB is also growing. At present, many overseas countries can use Alipay or WeChat to pay, which greatly facilitates China tourists. (In Japan, South Korea and other countries, it is very convenient to use Alipay WeChat. )

However, it should be noted that although Alipay and WeChat are becoming more and more popular overseas, it does not mean that RMB can be directly used. In fact, you use Alipay and WeChat overseas. Although you pay RMB, foreign merchants receive foreign currency.

For example, if you play in Japan and give RMB directly to Japanese merchants, the other party will not accept it, but if you use Alipay or WeChat, many stores will gladly accept it.

Because if you use Alipay or WeChat, you spend RMB, but the merchant receives Japanese yen, and the exchange in the middle is done with Alipay or WeChat, so you can only use Japanese yen in Japan.

In fact, it's not just RMB, and it's not feasible for you to use dollars in Japan. As an economic power, it is basically impossible to use foreign currency in Japan, and it has to be converted into Japanese yen at a local bank. (Except Alipay and WeChat, other mobile payments in Japan account for a small proportion, and the Japanese themselves are still used to using paper money and only accept Japanese yen. )

Generally speaking, most countries in the world do not accept foreign currency, but at most accept a small amount of dollars. Because the monetary system is the foundation of a country. Imagine that even if the dollar is strong, you can't accept it at home.

Therefore, only in some economically backward countries, because their legal tender is unreliable, it always depreciates or directly becomes waste paper, and locals only accept foreign currency.

If you travel to Vietnam, in the northern border area of Vietnam, some vendors accept RMB. But if you want to go somewhere else, you'd better change to Vietnamese dong, which is more convenient.

Due to inflation, the value of the Vietnamese dong is very large. At present, 1 RMB is about 333 1 Vietnamese dong. If you go to Vietnam with 1 0,000 RMB, you will instantly become a "rich man".

However, although Vietnam's economy is not very developed, the consumption of big cities in Vietnam is not low, and many local light industrial products are very expensive. This is because Vietnam's manufacturing industry is underdeveloped and many commodities depend on imports. (The price in Ho Chi Minh City is not low)

In this regard, it needs to be emphasized again that due to the Vietnamese government, Alipay and WeChat are not popular in the local area. If you want to travel to Vietnam, you must change some Vietnamese dong. UnionPay cards can be used in shopping malls in some big cities, so you should also bring UnionPay cards.

I went to Vietnam the year before last. At that time, RMB was not circulating, so I had to change it into Vietnamese dong. Dollars can be used, such as hotels and restaurants, and the boss will exchange them according to the real-time exchange rate.

Speaking of changing the Vietnamese dong, I have a shameful little story.

Domestic banks can't exchange Vietnamese dong, so before I went to Vietnam, I changed several hundred dollars in China Bank. Reflections on the exchange of Vietnamese dong at the border.

There are some money changers at the gate of Friendship Pass. I asked 1: 3 100 (at that time, the online exchange rate should be around 1: 3300), which was too low! I didn't exchange money with them, thinking that there must be a place to exchange money when I entered the friendship pass.

As a result, I was wrong. . .

I haven't changed anything since I left the border of China, that is to say, I didn't have Vietnamese currency with me, so I went abroad. . .

It takes 10000 guilders to get to Dengtong Port by car ferry. If not, what should I do? Just when I was wandering around, I saw a little brother in China who was quite familiar, so I asked, I didn't change money. Can you lend me some Vietnamese dong for cycling? The boy looked at me in surprise (must be wondering if this person is stupid? Go abroad without changing money)

Fortunately, he helped me pay the fare and took me on the bus to Hanoi.

On the bus, I stumbled and told the conductor that I wanted to exchange some money with him, okay? Fortunately, I changed 200 RMB according to 1: 3400 (only these, not more). Suddenly I feel much more at ease, and I am a rich man.

200 yuan for 680,000 Vietnamese dong.
