Do Son Beach | Experience Great Activities and Cuisine

1. When is the best time to travel to Do Son Hai Phong?

Do Son Beach welcomes you at any time of the year. However, you should come at the beginning of the year and in the summer to fully enjoy the atmosphere here. In addition to Do Son Beach, you can participate in some traditional festivals to discover more about the culture here such as visiting Ba De Temple, Dau Island Festival, etc.

According to Do Son Hai Phong travel experience, there are two most suitable times to visit:

- From April to October: At this time, the sea water is clear and cool, perfect for tourists to come and relax in the summer.

- The beginning of the year: This is the right time to experience a series of festival activities continuously taking place in Do Son in particular and Hai Phong in general.

2. Interesting activities in Do Son

2.1. Swimming in Do Son

Do Son Beach has been famous for a long time, so coming here without swimming is an incomplete experience. Do Son Beach is divided into 3 main areas:

- Area 1: Usually has many restaurants, however because of its location with many rocky beaches and big waves, it will be very dangerous to swim.

- Area 2: is a popular beach for tourists so it is quite crowded.

- Area 3: Far from the center so it is quite deserted and has few services.

2.2. Visit Hon Dau tourist area

In addition to the poetic natural scenery, Hon Dau Island also owns an extremely magnificent tourist area with the largest artificial swimming pool in Asia. Besides, Hon Dau tourist area also has a zoo, bird garden and other attractive entertainment areas. If you do not like too much noise, you can also visit Hon Dau by yourself, take pictures with the rocky beach, sunset or the lighthouse that is over a hundred years old here.

2.3. Experience Casino Do Son

Coming to Do Son, you can admire one of the largest casinos in Asia. Enjoy the magnificent construction, watch the attractive card games here. However, note that only foreigners are allowed to play!

2.4. Explore the relic of King Bao Dai's Palace in Hai Phong

This project was given to King Bao Dai by Governor General of Indochina Pafquiere as a resort after the king returned from France in 1932. With its classical French architecture and large area facing Do Son Beach, this is considered one of the few remaining intact palaces of King Bao Dai.

2.5. Enjoy cuisine at Do Son beach

Your travel guide will be missing a page if you don’t enjoy seafood at Do Son Beach. Especially in Do Son Hai Phong Zone 2, there are seafood restaurants and eateries along the coast for you to choose from, such as mantis shrimp, squid, shrimp, etc.

In addition to Do Son seafood, you can also enjoy some local specialties such as Hai Phong crab noodles, shrimp rolls, Hai Phong crab spring rolls,... or you can also bring back famous products such as Bang La fish sauce, pork sausage,...

3. How to get to Do Son tourist area, Hai Phong

3.1. By personal vehicle

- Car: My family travels by car, it only takes about 2 hours for the route starting from Hanoi, following the Hanoi - Hai Phong highway, to the intersection with TL 353 and then to Do Son. - Motorbike: If you want to travel by motorbike, you can follow the National Highway 5 to Hai Phong, however, because this route has many containers traveling, the roads are also degraded, and there are many potential dangers, so many people choose to buy a train ticket with a ticket to send the motorbike by train from Gia Lam station. When arriving at Hai Phong station, using a motorbike to travel to Do Son is easier.

3.2. By public transport

If you do not like to spend time driving yourself, depending on the distance and starting location, you should refer to the travel experiences of Do Son Hai Phong of those who have gone before to choose one of the following means of transport appropriately:
