This isn't just a railway; it's a living part of Hanoi's fabric, originally serving as home to railway workers and their families since 1956 in their collective housing. In recent years, its unique character has drawn global attention, transforming it into a must-visit attraction dotted with charming cafes and small shops. This captivating spectacle is made even more poignant by the everyday life unfolding alongside it - residents going about their day, children playing, all against the backdrop of an active railway. It’s a truly timeless and unforgettable Hanoi experience.
