From Hai Phong\u2019s Railway Station<\/a>, passengers can buy train tickets at VND130,000 (~USD5.61) for a <\/span>2-hour-and-45-minute ride to Hanoi.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

Covering 102KM, the railway route between Hanoi and Hai Phong is filled with picturesque landscapes such as rice fields <\/strong>and bustling streets<\/strong> portraying vibrant local life.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

However, the highlight of the ride must be the part when the train approaches <\/span>Long Bien Bridge <\/b>as it enters Hanoi. Passengers will be awakened by the exhilarating breeze and wowed by the panoramic view over the vast Red River and its verdant fields on the river banks.<\/span><\/p>\n

Besides, traversing on the 117-year-old Long Bien Bridge, a cultural and historical landmark of Hanoi that survived decades of wars, also makes the ride worth the travel.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Passengers can alight at Long Bien Railway Station or Hanoi Railway Station, which are only a 5-minute ride away from each other. These stations are a stone\u2019s throw away from <\/span>Hanoi’s Old Quarter<\/span><\/a>, home to age-old architecture and a distinctive food scene.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
