Train trip from Northern to central Vietnam from the capital Hanoi to the former capital Huè; which is the "imperial city" with an interesting citadel. PART 2: KLICK HERE: • Vietnam by Train (2): ...
I took an overnight train from Hanoi - Lao Cai a few years ago... The train was climbing up the mountains there in more or less walking pace. One of the most uncomfortable and yet most wonderful train rides of my life. Although I think I enjoyed the scooter madness in Hanoi itself even more... But it took me a few weeks to adapt. Being German the chaotic traffic really was quite unnerving at first but after a while I was driving around like a local. Totally ignoring any form of traffic rules, driving in between standing cars, evading traffic jams by driving on the sidewalk, dricing wihtout a license and after a good night out in a Bia hoi :-D I can say without a doubt that the 6 months I lived in Vietnam have been just about the best 6 months of my life and if I ever got an offer to work there, I'd be on the next ICE train to the airport.
Nice video, i want to make this journey Hanoi - Saigon. Firstly i will take the Trans Mongolian to Beijing, then catch the sleeper to Hanoi. England - Australia overland trip 2014
Traffic jam of Hanoi in Vietnam jam more traffic jam of Bangkok in Thailand but The development of transport infrastructure in the country is necessary. Thailand & Vietnam are friend. Good luck for everybody Vietnamese. (I'm Thai)
hello @nthusiast you have to try railway in Indonesia and Philliphine then you make an apple to apple comparison for intercity rail services in that Southeast Asian countries (including Thai, Malaysia, Singapore and Vietnam that you already visit). it will be interesting to see then
naja, was die Fahreigenschaften angeht ist die marode Gleislage und die Meterspurigkeit wohl eher ausschlaggebend. Das Bahnsystem ist jedenfalls ziemlich mürbe - auch was das Rollmaterial angeht (Asiarunner sind die einzige Ausnahme, da wohl mit deutscher Hilfe "co-finanziert")... Dafür aber alles unschlagbar billig!
The picture is cloudy due to dirty window pane. The train as well as platform look very basic, but take my word....10 years from now Vietnam will boast of quality infrastructure and quality high speed trains. Vietnamese are very hard working and focused people. I won't be surprised if in say next 15 years or so (a very conservative estimate), or even earlier we shall see a bullet train on Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh city route.
Ravi Sathe First they will need a sense of personal and national pride - from the conditions I see in these videos, there is little likelihood of 'bullet' trains in any conceivable future. The poverty of this country shouts from the rooftops. As for your comment re dirty window pane - please ! Fog/mist is NOT the result of dirty windows ! ( another sign of lack of train maintainance and overall slip shod operation - I'd like to know the amount of derailments and SPAD's for daily running statistics on the network - I bet the figures would be scary.)
I'm Anna i went to railway station then she's look at timer to board the train i went to Hue by train she went to city by train it's faster i seen the big temple stop at second 10:00 people deboard the train i saw the ship and locomotives in cargo port and farm in field and skipping out from living and stop much passenger is put the lounge in self above there is washroom and i seen freight train at station stop at Vinh station they are many passenger board Hue intercity train signal is green and going of in afternoon i saw the boxcars in port shed and running off and past over bridge and farmers and lake in front of forest go to hill mountain it bigger there is avenue in hill it stormy in afternoon 04:30 will i saw every mountains and here is bay and farmer and go past at biggest bridge i saw TV above in train and at Dong Hoi station and green yellow commuter liner when i seen it next to window it Germany locomotive is cabriding and many people wait for signal and now going off some truck carry goods to train and arrived at Hue railway station

Zombie alert @ 12:35! It looks like your journey was completed in almost endless grey, damp conditions. Were you there in monsoon season?

Run down nation, run down railway. End of story. For CLEAN, safe and comfortable railways you need to be in Japan or Taiwan.
Did you stay on the train for the whole 30+ hours? or did you get off (can you break your journey?)

Alternatively, you might say not spoiled by over-development in the pursuit of making money.
... northern Viet nam looks so depressing and underdeveloped...
Mai Ho.... That is what a communist gov't will do for you!!.... South Vietnam is MUCH Nicer. I always loved the people there... in the south.
