Lạng Sơn Birds Eye View Lạng Sơn Province, Vietnam: A high vantage point telling the city's story

If you want the perspective that mr.hotsia personally experienced, I must say that going up to see the high view in Lạng Sơn Province is an unmissable experience. I myself stayed atHoang Son Hai Hotelwhich is an 8-story hotel located in the city center. Opening the window of my room to see the small city like a painting with orange roofs and roads stretching alongside green mountains in the distance made me feel that this city is truly special.

Viewing the city from this high angle gives an overall picture of a lifestyle perfectly blended together — the bustling morning market, locals selling goods, and people living simply in this border town. If you want to fully experience the lifestyle, I recommend walking aroundĐông Kinh Morning Market (Chợ Đông Kinh)which is full of local products and ingredients, including fresh food where you can see the real life of the locals.

Local Foods Not to Miss in Lạng Sơn

Mr.hotsia and I have tried street food here many times and I admit that Lạng Sơn is the capital of Vietnamese roast duck that is extraordinary.Lạng Sơn Roast DuckThis is a must-try. The special thing is that the duck is stuffed with Chinese bay leaf, called "Mắc mật," which is a leaf grown in northern Vietnam and China. This leaf adds flavor and aroma to the duck, which is roasted until the skin is crispy but the meat remains tender.

I recommend eating the roast duck while it's hot because if left to cool, the taste changes a lot. Some simple street stalls are just as delicious as fancy restaurants. Especially if you eat it with fried rice or fried noodles at the restaurant near the hotel I stayed at in the city, it makes the dinner even more memorable.Lạng Sơn Local CuisineThis place has a simple yet deeply charming appeal.

Another dish I really liked was raw egg soup, which I tried at the same restaurant as the fried rice. This dish uses only the egg yolk floating in a fragrant, sweet broth with no fishy smell. It’s a unique and impressive flavor.Raw Egg SoupI think of this dish every time I remember Lạng Sơn.

Lifestyle and Travel in This Border Town

Lạng Sơn city is near the Chinese border, resulting in interesting cultural diversity and trade. I traveled here from Hanoi by bus, which took about 4-5 hours. The roads are quite good and the scenery along the way is very beautiful, with mountains and small villages alternating.

In the city itself, walking is the best way to explore many spots, including the morning market, lake, and local restaurants. If anyone wants a comfortable stay with a high view from a hotel, I recommend readingLạng Sơn Hotel: Recommended Hotels in Lạng Sơnwhich I have reviewed. I chose to stay in a tall hotel to get a full view of the city and convenient access to the market and nearby restaurants.
