Hanoi MRT experience in Vietnam

The first MRT in Hanoi, Vietnam was finally completed at the end of 2021. Although there are not many attractive attractions around the MRT station so far, the rich man still took some time to try it out and let's take a look.

Introduction to Hanoi MRT

Hanoi's current only MRT line 2A (Lang Cát line) is an elevated station. The Hanoi MRT blueprint currently plans 10 routes. Line 3 will be operational as soon as 2027. Other routes are still being planned and funded. After completion, it will be more convenient to travel to Hanoi (laughs).

Hanoi MRT platform. In fact, the main means of transportation in Hanoi is motorcycles. There are not many people taking the MRT. The platform is empty. Only rich people are waiting for the bus. It is really rare to see an empty platform and take a photo to commemorate it ( laugh).

The MRT has a clean and simple interior.

There are not many passengers in the MRT carriages. The good thing is that there are seats to sit on and you can rest and look at the scenery outside (laughs).

The Hanoi MRT system is kept very clean. There is a train every 8 to 10 minutes. Each MRT station actually looks similar, so it is easy to get confused (laughs).

Attractions around the MRT

Let me share the attractions around the MRT that the rich man found this time:

"Ga Láng" station: There is a large Mega Mall nearby. Most of the shops inside are international affordable brands. There is also the Vincom Center for Contemporary Art in the Mega Mall. When the rich man went there, a special exhibition by Chiharu Shiota was on display. Woolen cloth.

"Ga Yên Nghĩa" stop: Ho Chi Minh Military Museum (Ho Chi Minh Trail Museum), but unfortunately I didn't go there this time due to lack of time.
