Next, the tour arrives at the historic Linh Quang Pagoda, an ancient temple offering a peaceful retreat from the bustling streets. Visitors can admire the stunning traditional architecture and experience a profound sense of tranquility. Spending time here is a wonderful way to connect with the local spiritual culture.
- Bánh Đa Cua Bà Cụ - After leaving the serene pagoda, it’s time to dive back into Haiphong’s street food. The tour offers a taste of the city’s signature dish: Banh Da Cua, or red crab noodle soup. This dish is a culinary masterpiece, featuring wide, chewy red noodles in a rich, sweet broth made from fresh field crabs. Topped with pork rolls, fish cakes, and fresh greens, it is incredibly satisfying. No city tour is complete without sampling this legendary local favorite!
- Hai Phong City Opera House - With a satisfied appetite, the city tour proceeds to the Haiphong Opera House. This magnificent building showcases stunning French colonial architecture and stands proudly in a spacious square where locals love to gather. Visitors have ample time to take photos and admire the beautiful yellow walls and tall white pillars. It serves as a brilliant reminder of the city’s rich history and is a highlight of the tour.
- Statue of General Le Chan - Next, the tour visits the impressive Statue of Female General Le Chan, the courageous founder of the city and a revered national hero. Standing before this giant bronze monument is a powerful experience. The tour shares fascinating historical stories about her bravery and leadership. This monument beautifully connects the past to the present, enriching the journey before exploring more of Haiphong’s street food.

The tour offers a taste of the dessert side of Haiphong’s street food with sweet coconut soup, a rich and creamy dessert with soft jelly. Additionally, the famous local coconut coffee is served, blending strong, bold coffee with a thick, sweet coconut slush. Enjoying this icy treat at a lively local cafe is an absolute delight and a highly requested stop on the tour.
- Quay Bridge - Feeling refreshed, the tour moves to the next exciting landmark: the famous Swing Bridge, known locally as Cau Quay. This heavy iron bridge has a unique mechanical history, as it once rotated to allow large ships to pass through the busy river. Standing by the water, visitors can enjoy the cool river breeze and watch the peaceful flow. It is a fantastic spot for taking pictures and observing the changing colors of the afternoon sky.
- Trà Cúc Cô Lý - As the sun sets, the tour concludes with a final culinary surprise. Guests are introduced to a legendary combination of Haiphong’s street food: Banh Mi Cay, the famous spicy mini breadsticks. These crispy treats are filled with rich pate and topped with a fiery local chili sauce. They are paired with a cup of daisy tea, a fragrant and slightly bitter chrysanthemum tea. Enjoying this on a small sidewalk stool offers the most authentic experience of the city tour.
