Tiên Lãng

Tiên Lãng is a rural district in Haiphong that spreads across flat land about 1 meter (3 feet) above sea level, containing several communes and villages. The area lies within the Red River Delta region and connects through various transport corridors to neighboring areas.

The district's development was shaped by its proximity to Haiphong, which became a major port after 1888 during the French Indochina period. The growth of the port influenced how the surrounding land was settled and used economically.

The communities here maintain Vietnamese traditions through regular gatherings where people prepare regional dishes and pass down local crafts. These practices are deeply tied to the seasonal rhythms and the cycles of the Red River.

The district connects to major highways via Route 10, providing access to industrial zones and nearby parks. Visitors should expect rural-style infrastructure with less frequent public transport compared to the city center.

The area blends rice farming with aquaculture, creating a productive food system for northern Vietnam in a way that uses the flat terrain and water access efficiently. This combination of land and water use is what allows the region to support both crops and fish at the same time.
