Unlike regular trains, The Hanoi Train is likened to a “mobile stage” on the rails. Each train car is a cultural story associated with the 5 gates of Thang Long citadel, recreating the historical space right on the journey.
The train consists of 7 carriages: 5 double-decker seating carriages and 2 check-in carriages, with a capacity of 40-60 passengers/carriage. Modern interiors, panoramic glass windows open to the maximum, providing an experience of viewing Hanoi and its surroundings from a new perspective.
