== Visa 👮
To find a Vietnam visa application on Taobao, search for it and you will see
prices ranging from 200 to 300 RMB. You will need to provide certain documents,
which are listed in @visa-apply-document.
#figure(
  image("./images/visa-apply-docs.PNG", height: 50%, width: 50%), caption: [
    Visa Apply Documents
  ],
)<visa-apply-document>

The visa will be mailed to you on a separate piece of paper, similar to the visa
issued by North Korea, rather than as a sticker like the US visa. This method is
straightforward and ideal for travelers, as it does not leave a record in your
passport.

Although the visa is typically issued within 3 days after application, it is
advisable to apply early to avoid any potential emergencies.

== Route 🚗

We will start our journey in *Wuhan* and fly to *Hanoi*, the capital of Vietnam.
After spending several days relaxing in Hanoi, we will take a bus or car south
to *Ha Long Bay*. We will spend 2-3 days and 1-2 nights in Ha Long Bay. Then, we
will return to Hanoi and fly to *Da Nang*. After enjoying our last dance in this
seaside city, we will fly back home.

I scribbled the traveling route, shown in @scribble-route

== Flight 🛫
We need to purchase a total of four flight tickets. Here are the options I found
for reference, detailed in @flights:
- Wuhan -> Hanoi
- Hanoi -> Da Nang
- Da Nang -> Hanoi
- Ha noi -> Wuhan

#figure(
  grid(
    columns: (auto, auto, auto, auto), gutter: auto, [ #image("./images/wh-to-hanoi.PNG", width: 90%, height: 30%) ], [ #image("./images/hanoi-to-danang.PNG", width: 90%, height: 30%) ], [ #image("./images/danang-to-hanoi.PNG", width: 90%, height: 30%) ], [ #image("./images/hanoi-to-wh.PNG", width: 90%, height: 30%) ],
  ), caption: [Flights],

=== The Cost

The flight costs, based on my initial research, are detailed in @flight-costs. I
know it's a bit expensive, but we can explore ways to find cheaper tickets.
#figure(
  table(
    stroke: none, columns: 2, [*Item*], [*Cost*], [Wuhan -> Hanoi], [¥1,000], [Hanoi -> Da Nang], [¥330], [Da Nang -> Hanoi], [¥330], [Hanoi -> Wuhan], [¥1,200], table.hline(), [*Total*], [¥2,860],
  ), caption: [Flight Costs],
)<flight-costs>

== Accommodation 🏠

=== Live in Hanoi

We will stay in Hanoi for 3 nights from July 20 to July 22. I am inclined to stay in a hostel, as it is convenient and saves a lot of money. I found the Mad Monkey Hostel online, detailed in @mad-monkey. It is extremely affordable, costing around ¥40 per person per night.

#figure(
  image("./images/mad-monkey.png", width: 80%, height: 50%),
  caption: [
    mad monkey hostel
  ]
)<mad-monkey>

=== Live in Ha Long

We will stay 2 nights at Ha Long and Ha Long Bay:
- On the first day of our arrival, we need to find the travel agency and figure out the gathering point for the Ha Long Bay tour, so we will decide where to stay after we arrive.
- On the second day, after several days of roughing it at Mad Monkey Hostel, we should reward ourselves. I highly recommend staying at *Vinpearl Resort & Spa Ha Long*, detailed in @vinpearl. Although it is expensive, costing around ¥1,200 per night, this hotel is located on a standalone island and I believe it is a must-visit.

    [ #image("./images/vin3.png", width: 90%, height: 30%) ],
  ), caption: [ Vinpearl Resort & Spa Ha Long ],
) <vinpearl>

=== Live in Da Nang

We will stay in Da Nang for 3 nights from July 26 to July 28, and we have two accommodation options
- Stay at a resort, which is more expensive, costing around ¥400 - ¥700 per person per night.
- Stay at a hotel, which is much cheaper, costing around ¥100 per person per night.

Because Da Nang is a very famous seaside city, resorts are more expensive than in other places. For this reason, I am more inclined to stay in a hotel. I suggest we stay at Kua Casa Suite, detailed in @kua.

    columns: (auto, auto, auto),

== Currency 💵
The currency in Vietnam is the Vietnamese Dong (VND), and 1 CNY is equivalent to 3,500 VND. We can exchange some cash at the airport upon arrival. Credit cards and cash will be the main payment methods for this trip.
