Train Street @ Hanoi 🇻🇳🚃🛤️

Don’t be fooled by the name “Train Street free entrance”, visiting the train street aint free… When I reached the entrance, I was greeted by an aggressive stall keeper (who does not speak english) who would not let me to walk to the tracks unless I went to the specific coffee shop he owns… Visiting a coffee shop is as expected because I know the train streets full of coffee shops, however, I was not expecting the staff to be this aggressive?? When we left, we saw the same stall keeper being aggressive to a Western couple and shouting get out to them… 🙄 But anyhow, keep this in mind when you plan to visit. I would say I am lucky because I did not look at the train schedule beforehand and I managed to see the train passing through 😍!!! When the train is going to pass through the tracks, you will hear whistles and the staffs at the coffee shops would hurriedly ask the customers to get off the tracks and go INSIDE the store because the track is very close to the coffee shops. The train looks tiny from a far but it’s actually so massive. #境外遊 #vietnam #hanoi #trainstreet #train #timetotravel
