Hai Phong, Vietnam

A 5-day trip to Hai Phong, Vietnam

A working maritime hub with leafy colonial boulevards and Vietnam's sharpest street food circuit.

Hai Phong is Vietnam's third-largest city, yet international travelers routinely treat it as nothing more than a transit node en route to Cat Ba Island or Lan Ha Bay. That oversight is an advantage. Anchored by the Cam River and tree-lined avenues of 19th-century French architecture, Hai Phong functions as an unvarnished northern industrial seaport with a ferocious food culture that draws domestic weekenders from Hanoi specifically for culinary crawls.
