Train Street The iconic Train Street offers a unique experience, where you can witness trains pass through narrow streets lined with homes, shops, and cafes. The sight of a speeding train brushing past the buildings is both thrilling and surreal. It’s a great place to snap some photos and observe the local life as people go about their day, with the train passing just inches away.
Long Bien Bridge As you continue your journey, you’ll visit the Long Bien Bridge, a historical symbol of Hanoi’s resilience. Originally built during French colonial times in the early 20th century, this iron bridge spans the Red River and has witnessed the city’s transformation over the decades. It remains a vital transport link and an excellent vantage point for panoramic views of the river and surrounding areas.
Hoa Lo Prison (Hanoi Hilton) Known as the Hanoi Hilton during the Vietnam War, Hoa Lo Prison is a museum today, offering a haunting look at the prison’s history. It was originally built by the French to imprison political prisoners during the colonial period and later used to detain American prisoners of war during the Vietnam War. The exhibits provide insight into the harsh conditions and the courage of those who were held here.
