Close encounter with train street in Hanoi, Vietnam

The Hanoi Train Street at night is actually quite beautiful. The various colorful lights hanging at the entrances of each store are really atmospheric. I recommend it to everyone!

Compared with the streets in Hanoi’s Old Quarter, Train Street is quite clean (laughs). The road on Hanoi Train Street is a bit of a gravel road. Although it is not as smooth as an asphalt road, it is not difficult to walk, but friends who are accompanied by elders should still pay attention.
