Hai Phong City

Hai Phong City

Hai Phong, the port city by the sea, is a place where history, industry, and urban life coexist in a space rich with identity. The hallmark of the 'Port Land' is reflected in its French-architectural quarters, historical monuments, traditional craft villages, and the iconic red of flamboyant flowers lining the streets. Beyond its long-standing urban beauty, Hai Phong possesses a system of seaports, modern industrial zones, and diverse island landscapes. From the vibrant rhythm of the city center to the scenery of Cat Ba, Do Son, and coastal rural areas, the city offers multiple layers of space and distinct visual palettes. For filmmakers, in particular, Hai Phong is a high-potential 'open studio.' The combination of urban architecture, heritage, craft villages, maritime industry, and island landscapes allows the city to accommodate various filming location requirements, ranging from historical and contemporary settings to stories deeply rooted in Vietnamese culture.
