Da Nang to Hue route – arguably the most beautiful Vietnam railway route in Vietnam.
 

An extraordinary train trek spanning 103KM, this 4-hour train ride departing from Da Nang Railway Station rolls past some of the most picturesque landscapes that Vietnam can offer. 

The journey takes passengers into Hai Van Pass, one of the most spectacular Vietnam railway routes that offers views over both the vast ocean and magnificent mountain ranges. In the summer, flower fields on both sides of the trail are in full bloom, creating colorful and picturesque scenery.

Trains usually slow down their speed to 15km/h when passing through Hai Van pass due to safety concerns, which also lets passengers fully enjoy the surrounding landscapes.

As the train nears Lang Co Train Station in Hue, passengers will be treated to the gorgeous sight of Lang Co Bay’s blue waters.
