Ga Hải Phòng (Pass By)

Arrive in Vietnam’s largest port city, where a friendly group of university students will be waiting to greet you. These young locals will be your scooter guides, ready to share the city’s soul through their stories and favorite spots.

Cầu Vượt Xưa - Cầu Đất (Pass By)

A well-known historic street in central Hải Phòng City. Originally named Avenue Paul Doumer during the colonial period, locals have long referred to it as Cầu Đất, a name dating back to when a small earthen bridge once spanned a canal between the An Biên and Gia Viên villages—hence “Cầu Đất” or “Earth Bridge”

Quán Nga Nem Cua Bể

Kick off your culinary journey with nem cua bể — Hai Phong’s signature crab spring rolls. Crispy on the outside, juicy and flavorful on the inside — it’s street food perfection.

1 hourAdmission Ticket Included
