Returning from such a distant country as Vietnam, everyone wants to bring something with them that will remind them of the place they have visited. Vietnam is fabulously rich in souvenirs: in its many shops, markets and shops you can buy exotic gifts for yourself and your loved ones. What can you buy in Vietnam?
Jewelry and art objects
Arriving in Vietnam, first of all, pay attention to pearls, which are presented here in the widest assortment. You can buy both cultured freshwater pearls and expensive cultured sea pearls. On the beach, you can even buy it for a ridiculous amount of five dollars per kilogram, but the quality of such a purchase leaves much to be desired.
Experienced tourists recommend buying pearls from coastal villages, where pearls are harvested from the natural environment and grown under the necessary conditions.
Vietnam is also famous for its precious stones and jewelry. Many shops offer a wide range of silver and gold jewelry, which are inlaid with emeralds, rubies and sapphires.

In addition, there are many art salons in Vietnam that sell magnificent paintings in the oriental style.
Vietnamese textiles and green tea

Silk robes, kimonos, bed linen, handbags, silk embroidery and much more fascinate tourists with their beauty and affordability.
