Núi Voi
Elephant mountain An Lao or Núi Voi is a complex of rocky mountains, undulating and meandering. It is around 20 km far from Hai Phong city center. People call this Elephant Mountain as it looks like a reclining elephant. Elephant mountain An Lao is located in Truong Thanh, An Tien and An Thang communes of An Lao district.
Hia Phong Local Beer
Bia hoi, fresh from the brewery that is directly behind this location. Many beer stands here. Look for the bar to the right of the alley where motor bikes are carrying yellow kegs in and out of the brewery. Decent food in an open kitchen. 10,000 dong for a tall glass (500 ml), 4,000 dong for a regular. The beer is pleasant with a slightly sweet aftertaste. Way better than Hanoi beer! Arguably best beer in Vietnam. A must-visit if you are in town and thirsty.
Amber Local Beer
Upstairs of the Haiphong Brewery. If you are looking for an Amber beer, then this is the place to go. Very delicious, but definitely more expensive than other local beers. 35,000 dong for a tall glass (500 ml), 25,000 dong for a regular.
This is an exceptional hotel, in perhaps the tallest building in Haiphong. The bar/restaurant on the 17th floor has panoramic views of the city.
New centrally located luxury hotel.
