Vietnam Red River Delta Haiphong

Mémorial de la guerre, Hải Phòng (Vietnam) by Christine Chauvin

Vietnam's third largest city is a major transportation hub yet does not draw a lot of travelers. Be sure to try the local coffee.

Haiphong is the third largest city of Vietnam beside Ha Noi and Ho Chi Minh City with population of over 2 million people. The city's name means "coastal defense" and it is nicknamed the Flamboyant City because of the many flame trees planted throughout it. Haiphong is Northern Vietnam's most important seaport and has many industrial parks invested by multinational corporations. Feel free to visit the local temple and the small history museum.

I found the process really easy. Simple layout and lots of options. It was helpful to see the route, allowing me to choose towns better ensuring that the journey would not take us out of our way. Four of our hotels where within easy walking distance of the city center. The hotels were very easy to find with the use of your paperwork and a sat nav. All in all it was a fantastic holiday visiting five countries in ten days. Five different cultures and five different experiences. I am happy to recommend all the hotels we stayed in.

We had a fantastic trip and RoutePerfect was an ENORMOUS help in our planning process! The planning was a breeze through RoutePerfect, even when we had to make a few hotel changes, it was all handled VERY smoothly. I could not be more pleased. We will definitely use RoutePerfect.com again when planning our next big trip! Thanks again, I love your site and recommend it unreservedly.
