Iconic Hanoi train street

Hanoi train street is one of my must do things in Hanoi. I was fairly excited to see the train coming up close. However, when we reached there, the place was closed for tourists. There are cafe owners asking us to go cafe and view the train from inside. After checking the Web, realised that the stretch which was the closest to train rail was closed for safety reason. Seems like there were cases where the train went into emergency stop to avoid hitting tourists. You can still view it from other stretch of the rails. I came back at 3.15pm to catch the train timing, stated at 3.30pm. Met a friendly cafe owner who invited us to take pictures and video of the train from her cafe. Cautioned us not to go too near. The train was actually moving in a slow speed, not like the one we saw in video. Still fairly cool. Rating: Should come and chill here and watch train passed by. #celebratewithtrip
