Vinh's role as an industrial port city led to heavy destruction by aerial bombing during the war, as a result it has remained a drab, rather uninteresting place.
Getting to Vinh
By bus
As the largest city between Hanoi and Hue, it's on the route for buses along the coast.
There is also a bus from the bus station to Phonsavan in Laos. Visa for Laos available at border, bus leaves every second day in the morning 6 AM.
By train
The train line between Vinh and Dong Hoi to the south takes an inland route different from Highway 1, and there is some excellent scenery along the way. If you're travelling along the coast by bus, consider taking a break here and go by train.
Describe the main aspects of Vinh in general. Write in the 2nd person ('go there/when we went' instead of 'I went/this writer went/one can go'). Tell it as it is, but stick to the facts. Restaurant,
Hotel and
other listings shall NOT be entered here; create a
new listing instead.
