Experience traveling on the North–South train through Da Nang

If you want a slow-paced and fully scenic travel experience, taking the North–South train through Đà Nẵng is a wonderful choice. The 1,726 km North–South Railway has Da Nang Station right in the city center, offering convenient connections to Hanoi, Vinh, Dong Ha, and Hue to the north, and Quang Ngai, Nha Trang, and Ho Chi Minh City to the south. The railway section through Hai Van Pass is considered the most beautiful railway route in Vietnam, winding between mountain cliffs and the blue sea.

Trains SE1, SE3, SE7 are popular, fully equipped with soft air-conditioned sleeper compartments, soft seats, and a dining car serving food and drinks. The price of an air-conditioned sleeper bus ticket from Da Nang – Hue is about 100,000–150,000 VND, and from Da Nang – Nha Trang is from 500,000–900,000 VND. You should book tickets 5–7 days in advance via the website dsvn.vn or the official app. If you travel through Hai Van Pass during the day, you'll have the chance to photograph Lang Co Bay and Phu Yen fishing village from the train window. Tip: buy extra bread loaves, soft drinks, and use a small backpack to prop up your feet for a more comfortable trip.

The North–South train — a route for slow, leisurely, and deeply emotional sightseeing.
