The Vietnamese railways are an excellent, safe and
comfortable way of getting around
 and
seeing Vietnam at ground level.
The main line links Hanoi, Hué,
Danang, Nha Trang, and Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City). There is also a
railway between Hanoi and Haiphong.
In case you were wondering,
'Ho Chi Minh City' is the name of the whole conurbation - 'Saigon' is
still the name of the city itself, and it is 'Saigon' which appears in
the railway timetables and on the station name boards...
(Above right) Train S3 from Hanoi to Saigon passes through the
lush green hills between Hué and Danang. This is the most scenic
section of line, running along the coast past bays and islands and
through the hills. The train travels at low speed up the fierce
gradients, with an assisting locomotive at the rear and people sitting
on the roof..!
