Slow Spin Vietnam | ～A Leisurely & Luxurious Hai Phong Trip～
Hotel Nikko Hai Phong recommends these four spots where you can discover the refined pleasures of Hai Phong.
Hai Phong Opera House
The Opera House stands in the heart of Haiphong City. Built in 1912 during the French colonial era, this building, with its magnificent neoclassical style reminiscent of the Palais Garnier in Paris, captivates all who see it.
Behind its beautiful facade lies a history where Viet Minh independence movement gatherings were held, and which became a fierce battleground during the Indochina War. Once a social venue for the French, it has, over time, become a cultural hub beloved by the locals, and even now, a variety of performances, including traditional music and theater, are held.
The Haiphong Opera House is a place that conceals a moving story woven from history and culture, along with its beautiful exterior. When you visit Haiphong, be sure to experience its weight and charm at this very spot.
