With a history spanning 120 years, Hai Phong railway station still retains its ancient beauty, deeply rooted in French architecture, preserving the memories of a bygone era of the city. It's not only a familiar tourist attraction and photo spot, but it also holds many values of the city in general and its people in particular.
Hai Phong Station is the main railway station of Hai Phong City. It is also the last passenger station on the Hanoi - Hai Phong railway line.
Hai Phong Railway Station was built by the French and put into operation in 1902. It is one of the four main stations on the 99 km railway line connecting Hai Phong with Hanoi.
Like the Hai Phong Grand Theatre, the Hai Phong Museum, and several other administrative buildings in the port city, Hai Phong Railway Station bears the strong architectural imprint of the French. It is also considered one of the most beautiful railway stations that the French left behind in Vietnam.
The architecture of Hai Phong railway station is designed in a neoclassical style based on strict symmetry principles. The structure is emphasized at the center with two protruding blocks on either side and decorative details. The iron columns with classical patterns supporting the eaves, and the blue stone paving from the station's early days of operation, remain intact. The clock case is 120 years old; the old mechanical clock mechanism has broken down and been replaced with an electronic one.
Arriving at Hai Phong Station, we encounter memories of the subsidy era. Having existed for 120 years, Hai Phong Station still retains its antique beauty, strongly influenced by French architecture.
The people of Hai Phong will never forget the event of President Ho Chi Minh's special train journey from Hanoi to Hai Phong and back. During the resistance war against the French, the army and people of the Route 5 front achieved historical miracles. When peace was restored, President Ho Chi Minh, returning from Hanoi to Hai Phong, wrote the article "The Heroic Route 5".
Hai Phong railway station is one of the few remaining railway stations in Vietnam that strongly reflects French architectural style, alongside those in Hue (Thua Thien Hue), Nha Trang (Khanh Hoa), and Da Lat (Lam Dong).
Today, in addition to transporting passengers and goods, Hai Phong train station is one of the famous check-in locations in the city of red flamboyant flowers.
