The railway village is an emerging attraction in Hanoi’s Old Quarter.

Train tracks over a hundred years old run through the edge of Hanoi’s Old Quarter. Recently, “railway village” has become an attractive tourist destination for tourists, especially foreigners.

Sitting in rows near a hundred-year-old train line, watching the train run and the lives of local people, although potentially dangerous, still makes many tourists curious to experience.

Youth must definitely check in once at the Hanoi train street cafe

The Hanoi Train Street Cafe has reopened. Everyone knows that this place is famous for not simply ordinary cafes with tables and chairs in four walls. Instead, there was an old table and chair next to the track, followed by laughter. Have you checked in at this place yet? Let’s explore with SH Travel!

1. Why did Hanoi train street cafe appear?
The Hanoi train street cafe appeared since the French colonial period. At that time, railway workers began to build houses next to the corridor. Then formed a small hamlet with many happy and sad stories to this day.

The neighborhood is located from Long Bien station to the end of Le Duan street. And for more than 30 years, many generations have considered this as their “place to return”. Their lives and childhoods are associated with railways and trains.
This small village attracts a lot of tourists when coming to Vietnam. Because it looks like a “cinema neighbor” that has witnessed so many historical ups and downs.

2. The “super-quality” Hanoi virtual living place of people
You will have a feeling of “extremely interesting” when visiting Hanoi railway cafe. Because when you come here, you will both drink coffee and watch the train pass at a very close distance.

But a good point here is that the train schedule is glued to the walls of the restaurant by people. Thus, visitors only need a “light glance” to be able to prepare the “dodge” mentality to ensure safety. Normally, trains run at night and early in the morning. Therefore, this place is usually very deserted during the day. On weekends, trains run more times.

The feeling of the train gliding right in front of you will never be forgotten. Every time a train passes, 15 minutes before, the cafe owners often hastily clean up the tables and chairs. And at the same time do not forget to remind tourists to stand against the wall to avoid accidents.

Many tourists stand only about 0.4 m from the train. A distance enough to make people suffocate. And it seems that you can touch the hull at any time.

3. Nightlife in Hanoi Train Street Cafe

If during the day the small village is busy and bustling with laughter, at night, the small street returns to its original state.
Late at night, the street is unusually idyllic. People in the neighborhood are still hard at work doing their own jobs.
