Hai Phong travel guide
Hai Phong, Vietnam’s vibrant port city, blends colonial elegance with coastal energy. Gateway to the legendary Ha Long Bay and the lush Cat Ba Island, it offers bustling markets, French‑era boulevards, and the serene Du Hang Pagoda. Stroll along the Tam Bac Lake promenade, sample fresh seafood at Do Son Beach, and admire the city’s iconic red‑flamed Opera House. With its authentic street food, centuries‑old temples, and easy access to the UNESCO‑listed bay, Hai Phong is a charming, less‑touristed stop for travelers exploring northern Vietnam’s coastline.
