I just saw some amazing pictures of Cat Ba Island on Instagram! Too funny. That place looks incredible and is for sure a place I need to see in person someday.

I have never been here but I have heard it has some really cool spots. It seems to be a place where a lot of younger visitors go to as well. I am not as young as I once was but I think I could blend in! haha

Hai Phong gets a bad rep for its past being the gangster capital But that was back in the days. Don't let that scare you away! Now Hai Phong is a great city to visit. The food is amazing, the activities are fun and there's plenty to see and do.

@thanggalang I was going to mention this. I have heard about this and it was one of the reasons that I had not visited. Even my family is still convinced it is not safe. I will have to check it out on my next trip!

Well, hold on to your hats, my amigo, Hai Phong has come a snazzy way since its gangster days! It's now a jazzy city with lots to offer. The food scene is a must-try, with scrumptious seafood and street food galore. Plus, there are plenty of activities to keep you entertained, like exploring the groovy Cat Ba Island or taking a leisurely boat ride along the stunning Tam Bac River. Rest assured, you won't regret giving Hai Phong a whirl!

This was rated as one of the worst places to visit in Vietnam on a few different travel channels and blogs I follow. I guess this is down to it having a past with gang issues. It is a shame! I would have never thought to go here if I otherwise listened and never found this article.

I'm all for a good day trip. But I'm not sure I'd consider going to Hai Phong for three days.

Hai Phong is a beautiful city. I visited it in the summer of 2016 and was impressed by the kindness of its people, the beauty of its architecture, and the delicious food. I would recommend that you stay at the Hotel Nikko Hai Phong.
