Personal highlights

  1. Reunification Express: opened to connect South and North Vietnaminfo-icon after the war
  2. Vietnam by Train: a great experience crossing the Republic from North to South
  3. Cabins: when boarding in Hanoi, they are clean, the further away, the dirtier
  4. Overnight: spending three full nights on the train, what an experience!
  5. My itinerary: Hanoi > Hue > Da Nang > Nha Trang > Saigon
