Hanoi’s Train Street

Hanoi's train street is an surely world-famous place that you've almost certainly seen pictures or videos of at one time or another. It is a street in the city of Hanoi in Vietnam. The street is full of stores, cafes, and houses where the locals live. And now I hear you wondering, what makes this street such a famous place. And the answer to this question is simple, namely that a train passes through this busy street several times a day.

It is a beautiful location which should definitely not be missing from your bucket list when you are in the city of Hanoi. We went to this beautiful location after I had seen some photos and videos of this special place.

We arrived at the street and were immediately amazed. A train track in the middle of a street with houses. I had never seen such a thing and was amazed that this was allowed in Vietnam. In Europe, I know, this would never have a chance of success. It was nice to see how the locals lived their lives there. What was the most normal thing for them was very special for us as tourists to see.

There is laundry and other stuff in the middle of the train track. And once the train arrives, the locals quickly come out to grab their stuff and usher the tourists to a safe place. So is Hanoi's Train Street safe to visit? The answer from me is Yes! But you can quickly make it unsafe yourself by not listening to the locals. This is because the train is approaching quite quickly and there is quite little space between the train and the houses. There is often no more than 1 meter between them.

The place is really great and definitely worth a visit if you have the chance. I found out that I had shot some images of this place. Hopefully the video of Hanoi's Train Street will give you a good impression of this impressive location!
