VIETNAM - Le "HOI AN" secret (que personne ne visite)

Planning a trip to Vietnam often involves ticking the same boxes: the frenetic energy of Hanoi, the majestic Halong Bay, or the inevitable visit to Hoi An and its thousands of lanterns. But what if you're looking for absolute authenticity, far from the crowds and mass tourism? In this video, I'll take you to discover Hung Yen (and its ancient city of Phố Hiến), a true hidden gem located not far from Hanoi (barely an hour's drive!). What few people know is that the history of Hung Yen is closely linked to that of Hoi An. In the 17th and 18th centuries, these two cities were the country's largest trading ports: Hoi An controlled trade in the central region, while Phố Hiến (Hung Yen) reigned over the north. Today, while millions of travelers flock to Hoi An each year, Hung Yen has fallen asleep in time. It boasts incredible architecture, magnificent centuries-old temples, a vibrant culture... and absolutely no tourists. So, did I miss out on my trip by going off the beaten path, or did I discover hidden gems? For a personalized trip to Vietnam, feel free to contact us: https://lessentiersduvietnam.com/voya...
