3 advantages of train travel

Travelers can book tickets quickly, slowly admire the scenery and experience dining and entertainment services right in the cabin when traveling by train.

Thanks to the investment in infrastructure by the Vietnam Railway Authority and the need to experience previously popular forms of tourism, trains are gradually "regaining their form", becoming a form of tourism that young people are interested in and choose.

Roughguides once voted the Hanoi - Ho Chi Minh City train as one of the most scenic rail journeys in Asia, especially the Hue - Da Nang route via Lang Co Bay. Therefore, the train is the choice for those who love to move slowly and explore. Below are the strengths of this form of tourism.

Book tickets quickly and conveniently

In addition to buying tickets or checking in at the station as before, passengers can flexibly book train tickets on ZaloPay e-wallet. You go to the application and select Travel - Travel, then buy tickets directly. Here, passengers can freely choose the train, train car and seat or bed as desired.

In particular, if you book tickets for the first time via ZaloPay, you will receive a discount of 100,000 VND when entering the code ZLPTAU before the payment step. In addition, if you are planning to stay at the destination, you will receive a Travel - Travel gift package worth up to 600,000 VND. On the departure date, passengers only need to board the train by presenting an electronic ticket, without having to print a paper ticket or go through procedures at the station.

Slowly enjoy the scenery

Many young people say the reason they choose to travel slowly by train is because they love the things on the train. If you travel by plane or bus at high speed, you will not have time to see the scenery and will not have much time to relax. Meanwhile, when traveling by train, tourists have the opportunity to spend more time with their fellow travelers or have some quiet time for themselves.

You can slowly admire the natural scenery through the window, take more photos, enjoy delicious food and not worry about getting carsick. Most young people love the moment of opening the room door, looking directly out the large window to see the vast rice fields and dense forests.

Vietnam's landscape changes according to each locality and time of day and night. In particular, passengers can admire the most beautiful coastal route in Vietnam when the train goes from Nha Trang station to Tuy Hoa station, Tuy Hoa - Quy Nhon station or Da Nang - Hue station when the train curves through Hai Van pass.

Food service, comfortable beds

If you have a lot of money, you should choose a room with 4 beds, bunk beds, equipped with mattresses, bed sheets and thin blankets. In addition, there are reading lights and power outlets for passengers to charge their phones and laptops on long journeys. There is also free wifi on the train but it is not strong, passengers should equip themselves with 3G, 4G.

One thing that many people love about traveling by train is the food. Staff often walk along the train selling coffee, snacks and local souvenirs for travelers to choose from. When stopping at a station, some locals will take the opportunity to get on the train to sell local specialties, so you can also enjoy local specialties.

When entering the station, it is also the time for passengers to carry their luggage off the train. You can comfortably bring a lot of things to take "virtual life" photos.

With the current fast pace of life, choosing a slow form of travel is also the best way to reduce pressure. If you are still wondering about traveling by train, you should refer to the above reasons to pack your backpack and go this holiday.
