Lạng Sơn Hotel Recommended Hotels in Lạng Sơn

Accommodation recommendations in Lạng Sơn city from mr.hotsia

If you are planning a trip to northern Vietnam, Lạng Sơn is a destination I, mr.hotsia, strongly recommend. Besides being a charming border town with a simple atmosphere, accommodations here offer great value that travelers like me wouldn’t want you to miss.

I stayed atHoang Son Hai HotelAn 8-story hotel in the heart of Lạng Sơn city. This hotel not only offers comfort at about 600 baht per night but its highlight is the top floor view that provides a beautiful bird’s eye view of the city. Perfect for photography lovers or those who want to enjoy the cityscape in the morning or at night.

Hoang Son Hai Hotel is located in an alley within walking distance to the morning market, allowing me to experience local life closely and try various street foods that you wouldn’t easily find staying in big city hotels.

What to eat in Lạng Sơn? Local dishes that impressed mr.hotsia

Talking about Lạng Sơn without mentioning roast duck is like not really visiting here, as the city is known as the “Roast Duck Capital of Vietnam.” From my tasting, the roast duck here is different from the MK roast duck we have at home. It has a distinctive feature: the duck meat is not too greasy and is stuffed with Chinese bay leaf, called “Mắc mật” by Vietnamese. This leaf is grown in northern Vietnam, southern China, and Nan province in Thailand. It is also known to help with dandruff.

Roast duck in Lạng Sơn tastes best when eaten hot. I recommend finding a freshly roasted duck to enjoy the full flavor. If you want to try authentic roast duck, try street vendors popular with locals rather than fancy restaurants. You will see many roast duck shops with the sign “Vit Lang Son” around the city and nearby provinces.Read more details about Lạng Sơn roast duck

Another dish I really liked was raw egg soup, which I tried at a roadside fried rice shop near my hotel.Raw Egg SoupHere, they separate the raw egg whites and only use the yolks floating in a fragrant, flavorful broth. The yolk has no fishy smell at all. This taste is unforgettable for me, and I want everyone to try it.

Morning Market and Lạng Sơn City Atmosphere

One morning, I walked toLạng Sơn Morning Marketor locally called Chợ Đông Kinh. It is full of vendors selling fresh produce, vegetables, fruits, and local food. I saw a special dish called Bún Cá (fried fish noodle soup with water hyacinth), which is hard to find elsewhere. Thin white noodles with fried fish and crispy vegetables, very fresh and flavorful. I ate several bowls myself.

The market atmosphere is full of colors and local chatter, making me feel that visiting Lạng Sơn is not just tourism but truly experiencing the life of the people here.

Accommodation suitable for adventurous and chill travelers

If you like accommodations with beautiful views and convenient travel, I recommend staying at tall hotels in the city center like Hoang Son Hai Hotel. Besides the high city views of Lạng Sơn, it is also a great location for easy access to the morning market and street food vendors.
