Westerners are eager and fearful when taking pictures of the train in Hanoi

A British tourist said the mood waited for the train to collide through the railroad in Hanoi's old streets like waiting for Christmas.

"The pathway has a strange charm." In your photo, there will be flowers from the balcony down, the old buildings close together and the people living around the track, "a Hong Kong tourist shared.

However, with the impressive beauty, this area is full of danger when the rails are still used every day. Many travelers quickly fled as the roar of the train crossed the narrow street.

For many, the feeling of running away is an attraction. "Interesting but scary, I was a little overwhelmed when I was too close to the train," Australian tourist Michelle Richards said.
Many people like to wait for the ship to approach. "It's like you're waiting for Christmas," said Paul Hardiman, a British traveler.

The government of the French colonialists built the rails to create a trans-Vietnam road. During the war, many were badly damaged when the United States bombed the North.

Today, railways operate and serve large numbers of people and visitors. On either side of the track are cafes or cold beer. Over the years, international visitors to Hanoi have been complaining about this street to take beautiful photos.
