Long Biên lies across the Red River from the Old Quarter, reached by the old iron Long Biên Bridge and by newer bridges. The bridge itself is the sight: walk out from the Old Quarter end for the view over the river.
Sights
Long Biên Bridge and the Phùng Hưng mural arches.
Shopping
AEON Mall Long Biên.
Walk the bridge in the late afternoon.
Our advice: Bát Tràng, the ceramics village, is a short ride further on.
