I chose to use a UnionPay savings card from a domestic bank, and after arriving at the Vietnam airport, I withdrew cash at the BIDV (Bank for Investment and Development of Vietnam) ATM. The maximum withdrawal per time is 3 million Vietnamese Dong, and each time a fee of 10 RMB is deducted. 📸 Photography Tips: Vietnam is hot and humid, so it's recommended to travel light; Most cities in Vietnam can be photographed by drones, pay attention to safety when flying abroad; Photography equipment: Canon R8 + RF24-105 lens + RF15-30 lens, DJI Mavic 3. #NationalDayEatingDiary
