This is the first time the railway industry has put into operation a 34-seat VIP carriage with Indochinese-style interior.

Although he had known about the red phoenix flower train through mass media and social networks, Pham Tri Dung (Hai Phong) was still surprised when he experienced it himself.

"The new look of the train is really beautiful and luxurious. My first feeling when I got on the train was "oh, wow".

I think the price of 250,000 - 300,000 VND/ticket for VIP seats is completely reasonable. This place has a beautiful space for checking in, drinks and listening to music," Tri Dung shared.

Ngoc Anh - content creator - hopes that the red phoenix flower train will help more and more tourists come to the food tour, historical works, and destinations of the port city.

"The top dishes that cannot be missed when experiencing a food tour are crab rice noodles, spicy fish noodles, baguettes, Hai Phong rice rolls...", Ngoc Anh introduced.
