- A 1,070-mile train journey from Hanoi to Saigon (HCMC) on the Reunification railway, including the wonderful coastal scenery between Hue and Danang along the cliffs and through the Hai Van Pass. For timetables, fares & Vietnam train information see www.seat61.com....
Thank you for sharing this beautiful video. I enjoyed to see how's pretty my country side .
SE1 departs Hanoi 19:00 day 1, Hue 08:02 next morning (day 2), Danang 10:31, Nha Trang 20:33 day 2, Saigon 04:30 day 3.
SE3 departs Hanoi 23:00 day 1, Hue 10:50 day 2, Danang 13:12 day 2, Saigon 05:00 day 3.
So both trains take 2 nights, 1 day.
So it takes a day and a half (referring also to the data in the video, you left 7pm (19:00) day 1, and arrived 6am (6:00?) day 3). Reminds me of Amtrak in the US--I once took Amtrak along the US east coast from Boston MA to Daytona Beach FL (and back)--roughly the same distance one-way, I'm guessing, but I think Amtrak was slightly faster (24 hours, or less). On the other hand, Vietnam has better scenery. :)

Felicidades desde Catalunya por éstos preciosos vídeos. Que envidia me da poder disfrutar de tus numerosos y bonitos viajes en tren.Gracias

Loved this one. Great work, terrific country. Thanks!
Very nice!!! I WALKED from Hanoi to Saigon 👣 it took me 3 months and 3 weeks by only walking 😂
From Hanoi to Danang we were in the Livitrans carriage, train SE1 From Danang to Saigon, in normal Vietnamese Railways soft sleeper, train SE3. Livitrans was a step above the DSVN sleeper, but the latter was absolutely fine. Several windows on the corridor side open in each car.
I believe from Hue to Da Nang a non-airconditioned hard seat would be fine, as you can easily open the window, instead of finding a toilet to open the window to film.
Either the corridor side is toward the land (and you'd have to find a toilet to open the window to see the sea) or the bed side is toward the land and you cannot enjoy the sea view on bed.
Wow that's so beautiful.
Love from India 🇮🇳🇻🇳
Hoping to take this train trip next week if all goes as planned. Thank you for the inspiration and the preview (and, of course, for all of your helpful information)!
Another worthwhile vid from you . . . thanks!
Very beautiful scenery. It would make a very nice vacation.
Nice one, brought back some good memories thanks!
Thanks for the informative videos.
Lovely scenery!!!
Excellent condensed video.
Lovely country, lovely people, wish I could go back there soon. Great vid.
Thanks a lot for the video and info page, Mark. This looks like a very scenic line indeed with lots of coastal views!
I travelled from Nah Trang to Ho Chi Min (Saigon) on this train in 2009. Fabulous journey
Good video thanks. I love Vietnam 🇻🇳
Thanks you so much,have a nice dayyy
Nice to see these beautiful places in the world
Livitrans sleeper is $49 Hanoi-Hue, $59 Hanoi-Danang.
Regular sleepers about $80 Hanoi to Saigon
is that for 4 persons its 80$ or per person?
Super video. Reliving my trip there. Amazing country... Will be there again.
Trước 2010 thì đi tàu vẫn là lựa chọn tốt nhất từ thời 48 tiếng rút xuống 32 tiếng tàu E2 vẫn còn bao kỷ niêmk mác E2 giờ không còn nhưng với tôi tầu vẫn là lựa chọn
I love your videos mark!
thanks a lot ..
keep going!
Thanks for sharing
I'd stopped off at Hue before some years ago, and this was a limited-time business trip to gather train and visitor info, so we basically travelled Hanoi to Saigon straight through in 2 nights, 1 day. But we switched trains at Danang, as I wanted to check out both the SE1 and SE3.
beautifully filmed, Mark. It is so wonderful to be able to open the windows on a train for photographing, unlike the European trains. It's understandable though with their high speeds. Give me back the early days.
Wunder schöne Landschaften .Thank you "The Man in Seat 61" viele Grüße aus Deutschland.
I n 1969 I was stationed in Danang during Vietnam War so I didn't get a chance to experience the true beauty of the country.
Have a nice day'!!!
a trip down memory lane. thank you for this.
thanks for the great video Mark! hope to be in one of those trains sooner.
nice video, thanks!
Wonderful trip... I wish to take the train in same route! Thanks for posting video seat61!
You saw a lot of beautiful scenery during the trip, i like the video, a great job.
Thank you! Your video very useful!
Stunning views!
it's wonderful awesome your video
I like vietnan,very beautiful country and nice peopoes.
No worries. It's an allusion to a famous British Transport Film of (I think) the 1950s, 'London to Brighton in 2 minutes' which showed the driver's eye view of the London-Brighton journey, speeded up so the journey took 2 minutes on film.
IIt is such a beautiful countryside . I wish I could be in that train.
I think the coast between Hue and Danang is the most beautiful coast I've seen. Really like your video. Thanks for photographing!!!
then you probably have never travelled to another tropical countries. coastal area in Vietnam is only so so compared to Thailand, Indonesia, or even Philippines eventhough Philippines doesnt have long haul train journey yet.
What is the Food all the world know in Vietnam ?
04:15 I've seen that on Top Gear! Hope to travel to vietnam once in a lifetime. Thanks for the video
Excellent vid. And thanks for NOT speaking during the whole thing. Many do and it is a nuisance!
+samquan123 2 nights, 1 day. But on the video, it takes 9 minutes!
+samquan123 Why? It's only a day. Saves two hotel bills. And what a day - a fab experience!
真野清一 5

Thanks, Mark, Will give it a go in November when heading for Halong Bay .
Ooooooh!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm going to Vietnam in November, first Hanoi then Ho Chi Minh City. Was thinking of doing the train trip BUT its a 36 hr journey (don't know how you did it in 9 minutes...). I'm still considering it but given the limited time I have might end up doing it by plane. But this is truly inspirational!
Do part of the journey, so you don't need to overnight on the train
Great video
Have travelled the Saigon to Nha Trang maybe 4 times, the first was with my faience and I booked the 4 berth in the Blue Carriage on entering the cabin the guard kept back the two unused tickets but I made him give them back. Talking to others they try and sell them as an upgrade. He kept knocking the door as he passed in the night, so in the morning as we alighted I made to give him a 5oo,ooo VND note, he held his hand out and I just put it back in my pocket and made the gesture bang, bang. He looked away sheepishly.
I now live half way between Saigon and Vung Tau and have driven that route up as far as Hue. Stopping off at great places enroute.
so beautiful places beside the way i 'd like to be there
wow...great video!
Nice train ride
Thanks
nice train video :)
A perfect mixture of Europe and Asia. :)
Bonito vagão de passageiros,poltronas confortáveis comida e bebida servida numa pequena mesa do vagão,muito bom,gostei!
beautiful country
Wow you are great
Well done.
Very good
In Australia, I once took the train between Adelaide and Perth across the Nullarbor Plains by the Indian Pacific, a 3 days and 2 nights train trip (actually did it twice, back and forth). I said I'd never do it again. Hence it makes me very hesitant about this train trip...
What a misleading title! You were on a supersonic train...9 minutes from Hanoi to Saigon? Haha just kidding, what a beautiful country :)!
and what's more, Vietnamese people don't seem to appreciate their train.
That I'm sure they do. A bad environment has nothing to do with the ethos of the people.
Google User 😂
Visit the rural area of one or two East Asian country before making such a claim.
lol said from a French, think about what did your country do to Vietnam's nature back then. It was better before fucking France invasion
Google User lol dude , you really don't know anything about history. I bet your government said they colonized Vietnam for a good reason 😂. If france didn't colonized Vietnam then there was no communist government, America would not be in South vietnam . Then there was no civil war created by your loser ass France and America.
Mr. Mark Smith, Yesterday , War, destruction , hatred , hunger , Communism . Today , tranquilit , joy , progress, beautiful cities, freedom and peace . Congratulations Vietnam. Greetings from Brazil.
simply fantastic, enjoyed the journey to saigon
nice sea shore view😮
Superb video
I was traveling by train to, SE3, it's take long time, Hard sleeper.. lol.
incredible
Your vidéo is just great....
the Hai Van Pass is definitely the steepest gradient the whole in Vietnam Railways system
Vietnam is very different now 7 years later. Much more developed
Quite right Frank, it's 9 minutes 32 seconds, of course.
Mark Smith test vn
damn...i love your video,man...
วิวข้างทางสวยมาก
amazing
Yes, Hanoi to Saigon takes 9 minutes. In the video, of course! ;0)
TOOK MANY 10,000 DAYS...WELCOME HOME SOLDIER , CHARLIE DONT $URF , HE DOESN'T TAKE $HIT EITHER....
I am brasilian,congratulations on sharing Vietnam's things ,
P/s: Nên mua ít mì gói nhé các bạn. Vì đồ ăn trên tàu mắc và dở. Không nên mang nhiều nước vì trên tàu có nhiều nước rồi. Chuẩn bị thêm 1 cuốn chiếu nếu vé của bạn ko phải giường nằm. Mang theo vài cuốn sách đọc cho đỡ buồn. Good luck
Beautiful, Love the trains in Vietnam-What kind of camera did you use, good video
Gostei do vídeo. Adoro trens, pena que no Brasil não existem mais trens de longo percurso.
Love to hear the sound
Sejak 2011 Kota Hanoi di Vietnam Beberapa Tahun yang Lalu Zaman Negaranya sampai 2021!
i left ha-noi @ 8am? and arrived hcmc @ 630pm the next day, October on 2018. once was enough for me,thanks.......
Great
Ha Noi is very beautiful ^^, i've travling by train from Ha Noi to Hue ^^ and Hue - Ha Noi
Be better than a bus at least you got cabin and can lie down .although some buses have beds
Lovely
great vid ! and this is vietnam , New Zealand take note lol!!!
6AM is time for breakfast!
Hi I have this exact trip in mind. I love train travel best way to see the countryside.
Did you go straight through to Saigon or did you have stopovers on the way?
beautifull
Great!
though it is a good chance to enjoy the view of landscape, i still think Vietnam should implement the high speed train to meet the economic development requirements, specially the two core cities are so far to each other.......
rui zhang agreed, much better for the economy.
Everyone wanted HSR for Hanoi Saigon line. But where to get the money?
Good night
I wonder how it could be a great journey. .!!
Remarkable.
good
I saw this 2-3 years ago
Sorry Mark, My sincere aplogies, I just realise that the 9 minutes and 32 seconds was actually the length of the video clip and not the actual time of the travel. Sorry Buddy !.It was actually very nice to watch the beautiful scenery.
thanks man!
Great shots of the countryside but very little about the train itself.
