What to expect

  3. 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”
  4. 1h · Admission ticket included

  7. 30m · Admission ticket included
    Time for a spicy treat! Enjoy bánh mì cay, a local favorite — a crunchy baguette filled with pâté and a punchy chili sauce. Tiny but unforgettable
  8. Du Hang Pagoda
