Train Street Hanoi, Railway tourist attraction in Dong Da district, Hanoi, Vietnam.

The railway line was constructed in 1902 during French colonial rule as part of the transportation network connecting Hanoi to other regions of Vietnam.
Local residents have adapted their daily routines to train schedules, moving personal belongings when locomotives pass through their neighborhood several times each day.
Visitors can observe trains from local cafes that display passing schedules and serve traditional Vietnamese beverages while waiting for the railway convoys to arrive.
This railway street represents one of the few places worldwide where passenger trains regularly operate through a densely populated residential neighborhood with active community life.
