Mr. Vu Huy Thuong, Deputy Director of Hai Phong Department of Tourism, said that the number of tourists coming to Hai Phong is on the rise. During the Hung Kings' death anniversary so far, the city has welcomed about 30,000 tourists from Hanoi to go on "food tours".
"Food tours are a feature of Hai Phong tourism. During the 4-day holiday from April 30 to May 1, the number of visitors to Hai Phong to take food tours by train was about 25,000. Of which, the two peak days of April 30 and May 1 were 6,000-7,000 visitors per day," Mr. Vu Huy Thuong informed.
From Hanoi, motorbikes are often a convenient choice for young people who often take food tours in Hai Phong. But trains and buses are also convenient for those who like to take it easy and less dusty. When arriving in Hai Phong, you can rent a motorbike or taxi to travel to street food centers such as: Tran Nhat Duat (also known as Co Dao market), Cat Bi market, Doi Can street (Luong Van Can market), Cot Den market...

In the near future, the Hai Phong Department of Tourism will produce clips introducing real-life experiences of Hai Phong's cuisine and culture. At the same time, Hai Phong will also produce detailed guides to historical, urban, architectural, and landscape sites of the Port City so that young people can check in. In addition, the Department is also coordinating with other departments to build an electric bus line to transport passengers from the train station to restaurants at affordable prices.
