Hai Phong Crab Noodle Holy Land — From Banh Da Cua to Spicy Banh Mi
Hai Phong is a two-and-a-half-hour train ride from Hanoi, and because there are fewer tourists, you can experience authentic local prices. Old-fashioned crab noodle (Ban Da Cua) shops mainly do business in the morning, so you must visit in the morning, and they only accept cash (VND). Note that in some neighborhoods, it is easier to catch a local taxi than Grab.
