No matter where a person may go, seeing the country while traveling by train is spectacular. When traveling by train the traveler can sit back, relax, and let someone else do the driving. For longer trips, the travel can spend a little more money and get sleeping accommodations. Trains usually provide a dining car or somewhere to purchase snacks and a drink. From the train a traveler can see sights that they would not be able to see when travel by car or plane. This is about Asia travel through Vietnam on a train.

Traveling by train can be one of the cheapest ways to travel. When traveling in Vietnam, the traveler has a choice of trips that they can take by train as they do their Asia travel. All trips listed leave out of Hanoi and travel to different destinations throughout Vietnam. One trip leaves Hanoi and travels to Lao Cal with final destination being in Sapa. Another leaves Hanoi and travels through Haiphong with its final destination in Halong Bay and Cat Ba Island. Another train goes from Hanoi through several towns with final destination in Saigon. All of this train has sleeper accommodations for the traveler’s relaxation. Some of these train trips take less time than flying since they do not have to wait in crowded airports waiting for their flights or for their baggage to be unloaded. In fact, when traveling from Hanoi to Hue City, the traveler can leave Hanoi in the evening and arrive in Hue City in the morning refreshed and ready to see the sights.
