*I'm **_SO_** excited!* *You are going to Da Nang!* I can't *_WAIT_* to see your vlogs from there! That's where I want to retire! *_SO_* adorable that the guy shows you how to work the door, and you, in turn, show it to some random person!

[@scottcummings9911]

I drove Hai Van Pass many times from Phu Bai, where I was stationed for 22 months, to Da Nang. The first year it was a one way dirt road, then in 69' a two way and paved. I left in Dec. 69'. It wan't as pretty then, but I'm happy its nice today. I love your videos.

[@nicholebanh1873]

3:22 or 3:21 i love how she speak so kind to the other people saying hot water and trying not to spill it 😊

[@simmonds3930]

Thanks for the vid. When we visited DaNang in April we contemplated taking the train to Hanoi. One gets to see/experience so much more of the country via the rails. But once we realized how long the trip would be and the cost vs. flying we decided to fly. Glad we flew but happy we were able to see the train experience on your channel

[@drr229]

I'm in the same situation. I've purchased a flight Hanoi ri Da Nang but contemplating going on the train instead to see more sites and more of an adventure. Not sure what to do ,🤔

[@dingleberryfarmer]

I’m Vietnamese and I’ve never been to Vietnam. Thanks for the glimpse!!!

You’re welcome 😊

[@lexuanson1616]

I could not hold back my tears every time I hear the song "Hello Vietnam" when Vietjet airplane landed. As a Vietnamese living abroad, I miss and love Vietnam.

[@loannealford1113]

I too am Vietnamese, but I finally had a chance to go to Vietnam in 2018. I don’t speak Vietnamese, so I went with Gate 1 travel company and they were the best. You should check them out if you want to go.

[@buivancong2472]

Ms.Van Vuuuu, I really admire you for your hard work. Apparently, I came here to learn English and wanted to know how a Vietnamese blogger introduces Vietnam culture to other countries, but well now I'm so addicted to your videos. I wish I could crash the subscribe button 1000 times. Keep up the good work

[@WhatThePho]

Thank you so much

I took a hard sleeper from Saigon to Hanoi a few years back, it was an awesome experience!

[@smokingun397]

I remember they had a '5 Star' train which used to go only between Saigon to Nha Trang. I travelled there and back one time with some friends, It was awesome

[@Simshady888]

Wow that’s great Van! Sounds like an exciting trip! You presented it so well!

[@carefulconsumer8682]

Nice. Thanks. Great to see how fast your channel is growing. You're doing a great job informing us about Vietnam and various related issues.

[@Vietnamveedu]

Van Vu you are always travelling and giving us great content, appreciate your resilience

[@lutzbassin9321]

I took this train least week 🙂. I enjoyed the view, the service and the reliability!!

[@benjaminkoh6737]

Cool. I still remember the time I visited Vietnam, and took a similar train from Hanoi to Sapa. These are awesome

[@TheGreatLordDufus]

The train I got that to/from Sa Pa (well, Lao Cai) was, shall we say, less luxurious. In economy, wooden bench seats overnight. This was a long time back though (2009?), its probably a lot better now.

[@duyennguyenthikhanh6554]

What a meaningful trip! Since I keep track of your youtube channel, I have to say that it generates much more driving force for me with the goal of learning English thanks to the fantastic life experience and your English voice and intonation.

[@WhatThePho]

Thank you very much!

[@dminnovatores]

I miss Vietnam, my newfound home, so so sooo much. Thank you for this video. I live through you. You seem kind too.

[@nguyenhoang8547]

You’re not only a great vlogger, but you’re definitely helpful!:)

[@WhatThePho]

I appreciate that!

[@Wkretek]

Hey Van! I’m from India, I have been binging your videos non stop for a couple of days now trying to learn more about the Vietnamese culture and lifestyle, i have a trip planned to Phu Quoc in September. Just wanted to say, I absolutely enjoy the energy you put in making the videos and make them so entertaining! I would love to see you react to some Indian stuff as I sense a lot of similarities in the culture. Anyway, thanks for the videos and I wish you well!

[@Imran_A09]

Which place you planned bro hanoi or da nang ?

[@bichnhungvu8816]

@@Imran_A09 He said that above : Have a plan to PHU QUOC dear in September

You're a trooper Van. That train ride looked rough.

[@jonmeade8493]

What a beauty you are, wow! The only sleeper I had in Vietnam many moons ago as a Marine was a sleeper in a hole of dirt--what progress...

[@lugiamx]

You are so nice! Instinctively helping out others

[@andy-kai-chan]

Pretty cool you managed to get a cabin with only 1 other passenger. I wasn’t so lucky on my trip.

[@Devilofaguy]

Love your channel. It has given me so many ideas of where to go in Saigon and so many idea about foods. Heading there in January, already got my plane ticket. Have to meet my friends parents while there also. Thanks for an earlier video letting me know what to expect..

[@jerrynam]

Amazing video by Ms. Van Vu. She is an amazing content creator. We all appreciate your work.

[@worldmikel]

Train trip from Ho Chi Minh to Hanoi is what attracted me to VN. I read the trip was only $100! It costs me $50 to do a five hour trip from Detroit to Chicago on Amtrak, so the VN trip was quite a deal. My sleeper was not as luxurious as yours. The window was a tad dirty on the outside, so video along the way was not brilliant in colors. Because of some visa issue that delayed my trip, I took the train to Da Nang instead of Ha Noi. Other than the noise of constant construction, Da Nang is the place!

[@WaveRider1989]

You cant compare American prices to countries like Vietnam, India, Thailand etc. It's night and day. $1000 a month can live well in these countries but nk in US.

[@cittakaro]

you are so kind helping others with their door :D

[@darthamador5188]

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND TAKING THE NIGHT TRAIN FROM HANOI TO DA NANG!!! This was one of the highlights of my trip 4 years ago. I didn’t know what to expect. I’m 5’10 and I can assure you that their is plenty of room to stretch on the top bunk. Plus I like that my large backpack fit easily on the stowaway compartment. I was fortunate to have a quite train. My meal was the same as the other passenger except it came in a tray. Regardless, it was delicious. Great meal to start the day. But the best part was view. The train ride was when it really hit me, how beautiful Vietnam is. If you look to the left the train you will see turquoise shorelines and to your right you will see every shade of green till you hit the mountain. From their you see hills to mountains in shades of purple and blue. Really beautiful. On top of that you get to see water buffalos, rice fields and people tending to them. Thank you for making this video. I’ve been telling people about this train and now I can show them. Best! 😆

[@dann1706]

I accidentally watched your videos and i was hooked. I've learnt english throughout your videos, thanks for your experience sharings

[@lifeofjeannie3438]

I am defo trying this out soon. I would really love to meet you soon and perhapes collaborate with you. I really really do love what you do and will appreciate learning from you. I live in hanoi at the moment. 😍😍

[@kieyamng5063]

So beautiful places...

[@sactownism]

My buddy and I took a sleeper train from Sa Pa to Hanoi back in 2019. It was a 12 hour train ride. We opted to take the train ride instead of a private taxi for the experience and aI also got car sick when we took a private taxi to Sa Pa from Hanoi. Our sleeper cabin was meant for four passengers, but it was just me and my buddy because we paid extra not to have two strangers stay with us. Let me say, it was worth paying the extra because we had more room to ourselves and more privacy and also we can be ourselves. We didn't do much on the train as we just slept throughout the ride.

[@TraverseTheGlobe]

woohoo! You are going on the north-south train! I took the train from Da Nang to Hue back in May The daytime scenery was absolutely breathtaking :)))

[@htolas]

I was in Hue and Danang slightly more than a month ago, and it was hot. Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate. About trains, it would be wonderful if there could be a special train service linking Danang, Hue and Hoi An. This service could start by using existing track with augmentations for stations, and sidings to allow bypassing.

[@duongnhdn]

Actually, there are touring trains connecting Da nang and Quy Nhon. It's fancy as fuck and they should expand it to many other destinations.

[@htolas]

@@duongnhdn, glad to learn of the touring trains. That said, I wasn't thinking of anything fancy, but rather something utilitarian, and much more frequent, a type of commuting transit for residents and tourists alike.

[@phuynh9147]

Wow, such a nice trip...!

[@martinma5329]

I hope someday have a chance to experience traveling from Hanoi to Danang by train .

Wow , looks so great and ill be doing the same thing end of the year , did you also continue down to saigon ? i will do so too after 2 weeks in Da nang

both the cheap noodles and railway plate of food seems great I would do this sort of travel for sure sleeping on trains overnight trips makes sense

[@alexboshoff8219]

Hi! Thanks for the great video. Helping me a lot in my planning for my wife and I’s trip to Vietnam. Just a practical question: I see the top berth sleeper tickets are the cheapest. Can you still see outside the window while lying in bed, or is it too high up to see outside without concerted effort? 😄

[@Luke4838]

Miss this lots - hello from Durban.
