A Church Encountered While Strolling in Downtown Haiphong
While walking through downtown Haiphong, I stumbled upon Nhà Thờ Giáo Xứ Hàng Kênh, which turned out to be smaller and more charming than I had expected. Its Gothic exterior might suggest grandeur, but stepping inside reveals a small yet meticulously decorated traditional church. The stained glass adorning the ceiling and windows, along with the serene atmosphere, seems to preserve the traces of old faith. This place is not crowded with tourists, allowing for a quieter and more peaceful appreciation of the church.
Moreover, this church is nestled among the local alleys of Haiphong, blending seamlessly with the modest everyday life around it. The sound of footsteps from passing locals and the noises from nearby shops gently fill the air, making the church feel like a part of the local life. This place is perfect for those who prefer spots close to local daily life over flashy tourist attractions. This hidden gem in Haiphong offers a cozy spot to find a moment of peace amidst the bustling city.
Rather than being a special tourist attraction, it is a place of humble charm that you might discover by chance during a walk. In that sense, it is a place where you can truly feel the real charm of Haiphong.

Hai Phong Hang Kenh Church..Nhà Thờ Giáo Xứ Hàng Kênh.
While strolling through the heart of Hai Phong, I came across Nhà Thờ Giáo Xứ Hàng Kênh, a grey building that harmoniously blends with the cityscape and catches the eye. Despite its modern and clean architecture, it impressively integrates with the bustling street scenes around it. Taking a moment to stand still and gaze at the church in the midst of the city, its simple form adds a sense of gravity and calmness, offering a glimpse into Hai Phong's historical background. The grey exterior of the church contrasts with the city's characteristic red brick buildings, showcasing yet another example of the diverse architectural styles in the city.
Passing by this place, I felt like I had discovered a small oasis in the middle of the city. This church, leaving a modest yet strong impression, seems to symbolize the charming balance that Hai Phong possesses.
