Hai Phong is not attractive for me

Had stayed in Hai Phong for 2 days and changed hotel twice. Now we end up somewhere in a very wulu place just beside the Hung Vuong bridge. This studio cost us 320k per night, with kitchen, sofa, desk and my Favorite smart TV with youtube. However the location is not ideal as you have to cross back the bridge to have access to food and amenities. Therefore it is recommended to rent a bike. (We able to find one for 100k a day just beside the train station.)

Studio with smart TV for me to watch 大白话

Japanese style studio for 320k per night

My overview of Hai Phong is moderate and I recommend to stay like 3 days. It is not very suitable for nomad due to the cost is closer to Hanoi. Some con for me is:

• food is not easily accessible unless you are in town.
• A lot of commercial building and we have a walk a lot to find cafe
• Accommodation is on the high side as compare to Nha trang
• The road with a lot of turns and newly built highway which is optimised for truck instead of people for walking.
• Food is not as nice as Hanoi
• Fruit is not cut for you unlike Nha Trang

Specialist food in Hai Phong is Cha Nem Cua (Crab spring roll), Bun Ca Cay (spicy fish noodle) and banh my cay (thin banh mi with pate)

The only place i had enjoyed is a secret cafe hidden away from sight. A lot of student come here to Tu Lao. Cafe Den Da is 20k and taste very nice. The cafe decor with board game, toy machine and aquarium. We very much would like to do this theme in the future at Kulai if we able to get our place there.

I don’t see myself coming back in the future. Now still Dalat and Nha Trang.
