HAI PHONG HOTELS

Hai Phong is one of Vietnam's major ports and an international gateway, just a short two-hour drive from Hanoi. This port town however, retains an elegance and charm imbued by the elderly French-colonial buildings and a sleepy, almost provincial feel reinforced by the relatively slow pace of life evident in Haiphong. It has an excellent beach just outside the city. Trips to Cat Ba National Park area or Halong Bay can be made from here.
