Phố Hiến old town
A riverside trading port frozen in centuries past — narrow lanes, wooden shophouses, temples and a Pháp-colonial fort.
關於Hưng Yên
Hưng Yên spreads across the lower Red River delta, a quiet province where longan orchards climb in terraced rows and old temples overlook riverside fields. Phố Hiến's narrow lanes date back centuries, while the coast opens to a gentle sea.
The province rewards slow travel — bicycle rides through longan country, a morning in Phố Hiến's old quarter, sunset drinks by a quiet canal, and the low hum of delta life where nothing moves fast.
Hưng Yên精選體驗
Longan orchards
Terraced groves across the province, especially rich in spring blossom and summer-into-autumn harvest — visitors welcome to pick.
Keo pagoda
An 11th-century temple across the red-brick Thái river, its wooden tower visible for miles — home to a Buddhist monastic tradition.
Red River cycling
Quiet lanes follow the lower river, through orchards and villages where life still moves at bicycle speed.
Delta market life
Early-morning floating markets and land-based bazaars selling what the fields and orchards gave yesterday.
Hưng Yên coast
Wide, quiet beaches and fishing hamlets along the gulf — less crowded than their southern cousins.
吃什麼
Longan
Thin-skinned, translucent flesh and a large seed inside — eat them fresh from the tree or dried for winter snacking.
River shrimp & crab
The Red River's gift — grilled or steamed with only salt and herbs, eaten fresh at riverside stalls.
Bánh chưng (square rice cake)
Glutinous rice and mung-bean paste wrapped in bamboo leaves — a delta staple, best eaten warm with pickled onion.
