Sipping coffee by the railway as the train whizzes by

Coming to Hanoi, Vietnam, there's a must-visit spot, which is the famous Train Street. When the train passes, it roars right by your ears, just a hand's breadth away. If you haven't experienced it in Thailand or Japan, you can come here to feel it. 📌How to find a spot ☕️There are coffee shops on both sides of the railway, and if you want to watch the train, you'll need to order a coffee. Usually, the shop owners will pull people into their coffee shop at the railway crossing or call in advance to pick up customers from the crossing. ☕️Remember to find a shop with a good view of the train. Agree to follow the shop owner only after they show you the spot. ☕️The coffee is not expensive, generally costing only about ten to twenty yuan per cup. 📸Photography Tips 🌟There are various train schedules online, which can be overwhelming. But as long as you come on the weekend, there are many train services. 🌟We were very lucky this time. We arrived on a Saturday evening, around five, and within half an hour, two trains passed by in different directions, which was an unexpected surprise. Plus, coming in the evening allows you to capture the deep blue sky. 🌟If the coffee shop has a second floor, you can go up there to take pictures for a better view. We took photos of the first train on the ground floor by the railway, and the second one from the second floor. 🌟We entered from a crossing in the middle of the railway, which was recommended by the hotel staff, and the angle was good. 🌟Before the train arrives, you can freely take photos on the railway, but be sure to step aside and pay attention to safety when the train is coming. 📍Train Street Hanoi There are entrances on both sides of Train Street, and there's also a crossing in the middle. The positioning during navigation is very important as it will determine the angle of the railway in your shots. 🚗Transportation: It's not far from the cathedral and Hoan Kiem Lake, about a ten-minute walk.
