NANNING-HANOI by rail! Easiest rail border crossing ever, or were online reports correct?
This overnight rail journey was the crossing I was most worried about, having read some scary reports online. After one last look around Nanning, I boarded the Chinese train across the China-Vietnam border to Hanoi. I end up at a very quiet station 5km from the city centre.

VIETNAM OVERNIGHT TRAIN TO HANOI! Tour of Soft & Hard Sleeper
Travel by overnight sleeper train in Vietnam from Danang to Hanoi! I rode the 4-berth soft sleeper and toured the 6-berth hard sleeper near the end. Watch more Vietnam vlogs:

Hi family! Alright...so this overnight train ride to Hanoi was not the most pleasant for me; however, it is still a great way to travel Vietnam. Here are some things I'd recommend you doing if you are considering taking the sleeper train:
-DO bring food & snacks! No food cart rolled around during the entire 16 hour train ride. I kept trying to listen for the wheeling of the cart and even left my door open around dinner time. There was nothing. There was water and hot water though :) Cup o noodles team!
-DO bring jacket, scarf, or sarong that you can wear. It gets COLD at night especially as we get closer North. You can even lay them down if you're afraid of unclean bedsheets.
-DO check the door & lights in your room when you arrive in case there's some kind of malfunction. You may be able to ask the train staff (who come around sometimes) to switch to another one.
-DON'T talk super loudly and be mindful of other passengers in the room. A man ended up taking the berth next to me at 12am and was talking on the phone for a whole hour :/
-DON'T buy your tickets online if you can just get it at the station a few days earlier or even a day earlier! I met a couple of travellers who just showed up that day and booked. It is always cheaper way cheaper at the train station. OR ask your hotel staff to help you book it. Don't go to a tour agency - they'll charge you lots. I was traveling during TET so had no choice but to secure it online. If you're on last resort - check out 12go.asia (the site I use for train & ferry travel in Southeast Asia).
If you don't want to take a sleeper train but still want to experience it, take the Vietnam railway train from Hue to Danang or Danang to Hue. It is a 2.5 hour train ride with breathtaking views of Vietnam's coastline! You can just get a regular seat, no sleeper needed.
While this train ride didn't go so well for me, I know the experience is different for everyone. Take it or not, it's up to you :)! It IS way better than the overnight busses - or so I heard.
Thank you for tuning in! Hope this information helps you when traveling in Vietnam!

Hanoi Train street (Close-up Train View) - ???????? Vietnam - 4K Virtual Tour
Virtual tour of the infamous and notorious Trainstreet in Hanoi, stunning close-up views. Click here ▶ to see highlights and guide.
(From Wiki)
The traffic in Vietnamese cities is famously harrowing, motorbikes zooming perilously between cars. There is one street in Hanoi where traffic is not a problem: a small residential lane between Le Duan and Kham Thin near the Old Quarter. A high speed train hurtles between the buildings twice a day.
Dominated by the tracks, the lane where the train runs is incredibly narrow. During most of the day, locals treat the tracks like they would any other street. Children play there, people bicycle over the wooden ties. But when they feel the rumbling of the engine, they jump back into their houses or press themselves flat against the walls of their homes.
This is one of Hanoi’s more dangerous attractions, as the trains will not slow down, even if someone is on the tracks. While the train street is a photographer’s dream, visitors should do as the locals do and get out of the way when the train comes. The trains are scheduled every day at 3:30 pm and 7:30 pm, and they come from the south.

TRAIN STREET Hanoi Video Tour in Vietnam
Unsure of the schedule, I tour the famous Train Street in Hanoi, Vietnam where I grab a beer next to the railroad tracks and wait for the train from Ho Chi Minh to arrive at 7 pm and the train from Hanoi to depart 20 minutes after that.

Halong Bay Luxury Cruise | Signature Cruise
This Halong Bay Luxury Cruise was made possible by:
If you’ve never been to Halong Bay, you need to add taking a luxury cruise through Halong Bay to your bucket list! Halong Bay is a UNESCO World Heritage Site for a good reason. It is one of the most beautiful places we have ever seen! It’s filled with giant lime stone karsts that jut out of the water in every direction for miles.
The best way to experience the bay is by a luxury cruise. There are tons of cruise ship operators offering cruises through Halong Bay. The cruises range from cheap backpack boats to five start luxury cruise ships. Since visiting Halong Bay is most likely a once in a lifetime experience, we decided to splurge on a 5 star luxury cruise to ensure that we had the best experience possible!
We booked our cruise with Signature Cruise and we were elated with our experience. Seriously, we don’t have a bad thing to say about Signature Cruises, and that should mean a lot coming from me because when I splurge on an experience I am very critical. Also, the staff treated us like royalty! They made our experience even better.
Our luxurious cruise through Halong Bay started with an amazing lunch served while we were cruising to a floating fishing village. After arriving at the floating village we were rowed around the village in a row boat by one of the women who lived in the floating village. After our row boat ride was completed, we visited a pearl farm to learn how pearls are made. To be completely honest, this sounded kind of lame to me when I read it on the itinerary, but it was actually really interesting!
After leaving the pearl farm, we were taken back to the cruise ship. After an hour or so of relaxing and taking in the beautiful views of Halong Bay, we had a cooking class where we learned to make fresh spring rolls. After the cooking class we enjoyed happy hour with more beautiful views. After happy hour, a delicious five course dinner was served aboard the boat. After dinner I had the opportunity to try my hand at squid fishing. I got really lucky and managed to catch 10!

HANOI TRAIN STREET | Vietnam Travel Guide
Hanoi Train Street is a must see if you want an adventure. Enjoy a cup of coffee at one of the many train track coffee shops, and then be prepared to make way for the train thundering down the streets.
We experienced Hanoi Train Street from the Lê Duẩn section since the the trains come at 3:30 pm and 7:30 pm. The trains in the Old Quarter section pass through at 6 am and 7 pm on the weekdays and numerous times on the weekends.

✏︎ As we decided to head for Sapa in the Northwestern region of Vietnam, we had to figure out how to get there. However it wasn't hard to pick the most intriguing solution, as we found out there are night trains from Hanoi to Lao Cai which is the train station closest to Sapa.
We booked a VIP cabin, which means we have a 2 berth cabin all to ourselves. You can also book a bed in a 4 berth cabin, but those were simply too small for comfort if you ask us.
The whole experience was great. Of course it's not easy to get a proper nights sleep, but it's a great way to save both money and time, as the train removes the need to accommodation elsewhere. If you are going to Sapa from Hanoi this is very much recommendable.

Hanoi train street 16 December 2017
It is fascinating to see how the locals adapt to such daily disruptions. Some foreigners may feel strongly that life sucks there; well, it may or may not be for the people living there. Sometimes the people who live a simple life may well be the happier ones. It is not up to me to judge or criticise the people or the places that have given me fond memories of my mere 7-day trip to Hanoi.
Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness.
(Mark Twain)
Train Street Hanoi Vietnam 2020 | Best Things to do in Hanoi Vietnam 2020
Around 3 p.m. and 7 p.m every day, a train hurtles through a series of narrow streets in Hanoi’s bustling, maze-like Old Quarter.
The street’s residents press tight to the walls or duck into nearby doorways with a startling nonchalance and go right back to walking across or sitting on the tracks as soon as the train has passed.
The railroad tracks take up nearly the entirety of the “train street,” as it’s been dubbed by the increasing trickle of tourists that come to glimpse the startling sight. The train passes the narrow road early in the route that connects Vietnam’s capital to Ho Chi Minh city in the south.

Walking Tour of TRAIN STREET in Hanoi | VIETNAM WALK
Watch Part 2 here: (the train comes!)
For some Vietnamese, living next to the train tracks is a part of their daily lives. Hanoi city has a few places where you can witness families go about their daily lives, and move out of the way several times a day to let a passing train go through.
Residents will move their tables, chairs, and children off of the tracks just in time for the daily trains. For visitors to Vietnam, this is a very popular place in recent times for photo opportunities.
It's a must do destination for the Instagrammer, blogger, and photographer.
This video is partly a fail, because I ended up not seeing a train and I also didn't eat any street food. But I think the walk itself was still a nice, leisurely one, so I uploaded it anyways.
Many blogs and websites say that the daily trains are at 3pm and 7pm. But what many fail to mention is that you should go to the train street area on the SOUTH SIDE of the Hanoi Railway Station.
Also, there's some talk of the 3pm train no longer existing. It's really unclear for English speakers trying to find info about this.
As soon as I can find some concrete info, I'll share it with everyone.
I hope you enjoyed this walk around! See you in the next one!!!

Hanoi bans selfie-seeking tourists ahead of crackdown on railway cafes
Subscribe to our YouTube channel for free here:
Hanoi authorities started banning tourists from a popular railway lined with bars and cafes on October 10, 2019, after a train had to make an emergency stop to avoid hitting visitors accused of taking too many risks in pursuit of “perfect selfies”.Citing safety concerns, officials in the Vietnamese capital have set an October 12 deadline for the closure of dozens of cafes and shops that have gradually been built too close to the railway.
