Statistics show that each foreign visitor to the city spends an average US$110 per day, while a local tourist spends around $55. The numbers are much lower than for other leading tourist cities in the region.
According to a MasterCard survey last year tourists spent $258 per day in Seoul, $255 in Singapore and $262 in Beijing.
In Bali tourists often spend around $125, according to the Indonesian central bank.
In July the 2016 TripIndex report by TripAdvisor named Ha Noi the least expensive among 20 favourite cities surveyed for the third year in a row. It beat Bangkok and Mumbai.
But the data could vary based on the source, online newspaper VnExpress warns.
