Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam, a city of around 8 million inhabitants. Some people love it because it is a city full of history with many picturesque little streets, other people hate it for its chaotic traffic and its level of noise and air pollution. Anyway, most people visit this city during the day however, we challenged ourselves to visit Hanoi by night.

Why visit Hanoi by night?

Visiting Hanoi by night can be a wise idea in summer when the thermometer reaches scorching temperatures. It then becomes very difficult to wander through the small streets of the old quarter in the middle of the afternoon. Likewise, these alleys are often empty because the Vietnamese prefer to take a nap when the heat is not bearable.

Thus, from 5 p.m., local life resumes in the old quarter of Hanoi. We can then observe all kinds of scenes of life such as parents who go to pick up their children from school on scooters or even small restaurants which are full of people for a snack or a light dinner.

Later in the evening, the streets of Hanoi by night are quieter and people are more relaxed. It is then much more pleasant to visit the city. Also, you can take advantage of the lighting of the different monuments to take very beautiful photos.

What to see in Hanoi by night?

Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum

It is at 9 p.m. each evening that the flag lowering ceremony takes place. To see this ceremony, you must arrive at the Ho Chi Minh mausoleum square a little earlier to have time to pass through the security gates. You can enter the main square for free.

Shortly before 9 p.m., soldiers asked the crowd to stand on the grass. Then the music starts and a group of soldiers in white costumes arrive to lower the flag. This ceremony lasts only about fifteen minutes and allows you to appreciate the importance of the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum in Vietnamese culture.

The train street

In the evening, the train street is very beautiful with all its lights, its lanterns and its little cafes along the railway tracks. It’s the ideal place for a snack or a coffee even if the quality of the food and drinks is quite average. Don’t expect to be dazzled by the restaurants on train street.

A few trains may pass throughout the evening if you’re lucky. But there is only one train that you will be sure of and certain of its departure, and that is the 10 p.m. train to Sapa. Every evening, this train will pass through Train Street a few minutes after leaving Hanoi Central Station.

Hoan Kiem Lake Tour

Only during the weekend, the Hoan Kiem Lake tour is closed to car traffic. You can then stroll freely on the main street and attend different music shows, clowns, magicians… You can also visit the Hanoi night market.

Long Bien market

From 8 p.m., many trucks park below the Long Bien bridge to collect their precious goods. Indeed, under this bridge, a huge wholesale market comes to life every night from 8 p.m. to 5 a.m.

We can then observe piles of watermelons, mangoes and other vegetables. Many workers carry goods on their carts and push them at arm’s length. It’s a veritable anthill equivalent to the Rungis market (but more rustic).

We didn’t see any tourists at this market and it’s true that they are sometimes poorly received by the locals here. The Vietnamese are there to sell and buy. They have to move quickly and get the trucks on the roads.

To get there, cross the ring road at the Long Bien bus station. It is there, on the banks of the red river, that the hangars are located.

Tay Ho Flower Market

Here is a fairly atypical and unique market which also comes to life at night. The Hanoi flower market is also a wholesale market but can be visited without any problem. Many couples walk there to buy flowers.

It is possible to discover a large quantity of varieties of flowers there. In June, it is the season of lotus flowers which are found in abundance. With the arrival of Tet (lunar new year), the market experiences its highest peak of activity.

To go to the Tay Ho flower market, you have to reach the Tay Ho (West Lake) district by the ring road and you will find the market at 236 Au Co, Tay Ho, Hanoi.

Here is one of the particularities of the city of Hanoi in Vietnam: The train street. A street where the train passes every day and brushes past homes. The train street has gradually become very famous in Vietnam and many tourists now come to see the passing train while drinking Vietnamese coffee.

Where to find the train street?

Generally speaking, the train street crosses the capital from Hanoi Central Station to the Long Bien Bridge (former Paul Doumer Bridge). The train crosses many roads and there are no residents living along the entire street.

Indeed, the inhabitants who have decorated their houses with lanterns and offering coffees are located in a very particular segment of the rue du train. It is after a passage and at a bend near Tran Phu street that you can access this extremely photogenic spot which can feed your Instagram account.

To access TRAIN STREET: 74A, đường tàu, Trần Phú, Cửa Đông, Hoàn Kiếm, Hanoi

When does the train come?

The train crosses this street twice a day, at specific times, and local residents are well aware of its passage. It is important to note that trains pass at a relatively slow speed, allowing residents to organize themselves and take safety precautions.

When the train approaches, residents often move their belongings and move out of the way of the train. This has created a unique scene where visitors can closely observe the daily lives of local residents and how they interact with the regular passage of the train.

However, it is important to respect residents’ privacy and be sensitive when visiting this location. Caution is also required due to the proximity of the train. You can take advantage of this unique experience to discover an authentic side of urban life in Hanoi.

How to get on the train street in 2024?

There are several entrances to enter this famous railway bend. The first entry point is at the level crossing. There, you will see a guard who will block your way with a large sign warning of the dangerousness of the street. However, it is possible to bypass this guard provided you are accompanied by a resident of the street who will take you to their café so that you can have something there.

The second entry point is not far from there up the train street towards Long Bien station. As you walk along the street, you will see a first staircase with a guard. This is where you can go up accompanied by a resident to have a coffee. It is at this entry point that you can go to the cafes which have the best view of the street.

The third entry point is a little further on. Once again, a staircase will allow you to access the street. However, we do not recommend this entry as the cafes do not have the best view. Indeed, on this side of the street, there are houses on only one side of the street and the other side is open to the road which makes the experience less impressive.

Also, it is in the evening that the street is most beautiful with many lanterns and lights. You will definitely appreciate the atmosphere of the street while waiting for the 10 p.m. train to pass which heads towards the northern mountains: Lao Cai and then to Sapa.

Finally, it is possible that, if there are a lot of people on the street taking photos or videos as the train passes, the police will intervene to evacuate the street. You will then also have to leave the café in which you will be seated. This is a way to make the most of the train street which has become a “tourist trap” attraction.

Why do people live on the train street?

Historically, the railway was built by the French at the beginning of the 20th century. A large number of Vietnamese workers participated in the construction site. It was then that, to thank them for their dedication, the government offered them a small piece of land next to the railway line. The new owners of this land then took the opportunity to build small, modest houses there. People who live on this street will tell you that they are not bothered by the noise of the train. In all cases, the development of tourism in this street thanks to social networks has allowed them to develop a rather lucrative business.

Sapa is a montainous area which is famous for its terrace ricefields and to see the highest mountain of Vietnam : The Fansipan mountain. This is why Sapa is a good place for trekking and enjoy the fresh air of Northern Vietnam.

Are 2 days in Sapa enough?

Two days are not enough to see everything but it is enough to enjoy some places which are interesting for you.

Two days in Sapa can provide you with a good taste of the area, but whether it’s “enough” depends on what you want to accomplish during your visit. Sapa, in northern Vietnam, offers stunning landscapes, trekking opportunities, cultural experiences with ethnic minority groups, and more.

Sapa 2 days itinerary for trekking lovers

Day 1: Arrival and Exploration

Spend your first day exploring Sapa Town itself. Visit local markets, such as the Sapa Market and Love Market, where you can interact with ethnic minority groups and buy local crafts. Take a leisurely walk around the town, exploring its French colonial architecture and enjoying local cuisine. If you have time and energy, you could also visit nearby attractions like Ham Rong Mountain for panoramic views.

Day 2: Trekking Adventure

Use your second day, of this Sapa 2 days itinerary, to venture into the surrounding countryside. There are numerous trekking routes of varying lengths and difficulties that take you through picturesque rice terraces, bamboo forests, and traditional villages. Popular trekking destinations include Cat Cat Village, Y Linh Ho Village, and Lao Chai Village. You can opt for a guided trek or explore independently, depending on your preferences and experience.

While two days will allow you to experience some of the highlights of Sapa, if you have more time, you could extend your stay to explore further afield or to relax and soak in the natural beauty of the area. Additionally, Sapa’s weather can be unpredictable, so it’s always a good idea to check the forecast and plan accordingly, especially if you’re hoping to trek or engage in outdoor activities.

The other most popular attraction in Sapa is the Fansipan peak. Fansipan, often referred to as the “Roof of Indochina,” is the highest peak in Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia, standing at 3,147.3 meters (10,326 feet) above sea level. There are several ways to reach the summit, each catering to different preferences and fitness levels:

From Tram Ton Pass

Typically 2 days and 1 night, though some experienced trekkers can complete it in one day. This is the most popular and accessible route, starting from Tram Ton Pass (also known as Heaven’s Gate), about 15 kilometers from Sa Pa town. This trek offers a mix of dense forest, bamboo groves, and breathtaking views. You’ll stay overnight in camps along the way.

From Sin Chai Village

The trekking duration is around 2 to 3 days and the way is harder. This route starts from Sin Chai Village and is less traveled compared to the Tram Ton Pass route, offering a more secluded experience. More challenging with steeper paths and less infrastructure.

Cable Car

I takes about 15-20 minutes to reach the Fansipan Station, plus a further 600-step climb to the summit. The cable car station is in Muong Hoa Valley, about 3 kilometers from Sa Pa town. This is the easiest and most comfortable way to reach the peak, suitable for all ages and fitness levels. The cable car offers stunning panoramic views of the Hoang Lien Son range.

Sapa is also a good place to chill in a resort like : Topas Ecolodge. With its stunning view, comfortable bungalow and infinity swimming pool, you will surely enjoy your stay in Sapa. Note that the ecolodge is a bit far from the city and you should visit Sapa town before or after your stay at the Ecolodge.

In summary, a stay of 2-3 days is a common recommendation for most visitors to Sapa, but you can adjust based on your preferences and the activities you want to pursue. It’s always a good idea to check current travel conditions and weather forecasts before planning your trip.

We hope you enjoyed your stay in Sapa !
