Beware the rogue "porter" at Hanoi... - Vietnam Railways

Two days ago, we arrived at Hanoi station and got on the train from Hanoi to Da Nang at 20:15. The spirit of our holiday was hit by the behavior of a man at Hanoi station. When we got to the carriage, he suddenly appeared, grabbed the luggage, helped us bring them to the carriage, then lifted them to the storage space. At this stage, we assume that he is an employee of a railroad and is ready for some money to give him some advice.

He took the money he offered, stood on the door and asked for 200,000 holes! This is approximately 2 minutes of aid we did not request. We always say no, but he will not leave, and at some point he will try to grab a note from my husband's hand.

We are not sure whether he is an "official" and whether the heat and fatigue are not helping us. The fact that we were sitting and standing still made us disadvantaged

After all, as soon noticed, we unfortunately gave him more money. Then he has the courage to shake hands!

We are now aware that what we have to do is stand up and bring him out. You can take his picture with reference to "police" and get rid of him. Watching later is wonderful.

In addition, the train journey itself (soft sleep) is a good way to see the country. The toilet is a bit unsatisfactory, but we are even worse!

Hanoi is also the starting point or departure point for many Vietnamese railway trains in the country. Uni-Express (tàuThốngNhất) departs from Hanoi Station (former Hanko Station) from Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh City and is located in cities and regions along the route. Trains often also depart from Hanoi to Hai Phong and other northern cities. A unified express was established during French colonial rule and completed nearly 40 years between 1899 and 1936. The distance between express trains from Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh City is 1,726 km (1,072 miles) and it takes about 33 hours. As of 2005, the Vietnam Railway Network has 278 stations, of which 191 stations are in Namboku Line.

The main off-road railway in Vietnam is a limited express train from Ho Chi Minh City to Hanoi. Departing from Hanoi, the railroad branches northeast, north, west, from Hanoi to Hanglong Bay, from Hanoi to the north of Thái Nguyên, from Hanoi to the northeast of Lao Cai. In 2009, Vietnam and Japan agreed to construct high-speed railroads using Japanese technology, after that, more and more Vietnamese engineers were dispatched to Japan and received training and maintenance training of high-speed trains It was. The railway will be a 1,630 kilometer highway with 26 stations including Hanoi's Thu Thiem Terminal and Ho Chi Minh City. Using Japanese Shinkansen technology, this line will support trains running at speeds of 360 kilometers (220 miles) per hour. High-speed rail line connecting Hanoi and Vin, Nha Trang and Ho Chi Minh City will be laid in 2015.

Henan Province is the capital city of Vietnam, the city attracts a lot of attention. Hanoi is the second largest city in Vietnam, after Ho Chi Minh City, but the internationalization of cities is much less than internationalization, and the traditional culture in Vietnam is more evident there. In addition to this, in addition to the recent construction boom in Hanoi, most colonies in southern Vietnam and infrastructure after the war are still in use. The tower was originally built in 1049. When they withdrew from Hanoi, the pagoda was destroyed and destroyed by the French army and rebuilt in the second year. Pagoda was built by Emperor Ly Thai To during Ly Dynasty. According to legend, the emperor saw a dream, sat on the lotus flower and was given a son from the goddess of mercy.
