The áo dài

This traditional Vietnamese costume is known as Ao Dai, and you can see local women wearing it on special occasions, such as weddings or celebrations.

 

The Ao Dai used to be worn by both sexes, but nowadays, it’s mostly women wearing the Ao Dai. 

 

Pho is the national dish

You might have tried Pho already if you’ve ever been to a Vietnamese restaurant. It’s basically a noodle soup and you will find this everywhere in the country. 

 

Almost every Vietnamese restaurant will serve this traditional dish, no matter if it’s a street vendor or a fine-dining restaurant. 

 

Snake wine is drunk for vitality

Ever heard of Snake Wine or Snake Liquor? It’s not uncommon in Southeast Asia, and while it definitely sounds a bit creepy, it’s believed to enhance vitality, life, and other health benefits.

If this is ethical or not, I leave for you to decide, but it’s definitely one of the most unusual Vietnam facts.
