Hanoi authorities recently conducted a surprise inspection and invited hundreds of tourists from the train street coffee shop to leave the area to ensure safety.
During the inspection, the traffic police coordinated with the police of the wards to discover hundreds of tourists, mostly foreigners, busily checking in and taking selfies at the train street coffee shop. When the authorities suddenly appeared, the shop owners quickly packed up their tables and chairs. Hundreds of customers present at the train street coffee shop at that time were invited outside.
The inspection by the authorities is to rectify and handle violations of railway traffic order at the railway coffee street when the situation here is complicated, with a large number of tourists coming, posing a potential risk of insecurity. It is worth mentioning that it is not known how many times this is the inspection by the authorities at the railway coffee street, but everything is back to normal.
In recent years, with the experience considered adventurous and different, many foreign tourists have come to the train street coffee street - about 2 km long, from Le Duan Street to Tran Phu, Cua Dong and Phung Hung Streets, Hoan Kiem District, Hanoi City. The train street coffee street has been mentioned by the world press, including the famous American TV channel CNN. Therefore, many tourists think that this is one of the must-see attractions and "check-in" spots when coming to Hanoi.
Because it was built hundreds of years ago, the railway section through this area is located close to many houses. These house owners have opened coffee shops for tourists, especially foreigners, to experience. Therefore, traffic accidents are always latent and can happen at any time. In fact, there have been foreign tourists who were injured due to carelessness when visiting the railway coffee street.
Some opinions have suggested that the railway coffee street should be preserved, and even developed into an "attractive destination" for tourists. However, to ensure traffic safety, the railway industry has repeatedly spoken out, sending documents requesting Hanoi authorities to take measures to resolve the issue.
An attractive destination, attracting tourists and the benefits it brings, no matter how great, cannot be compared to the safety of human life. The Hanoi Department of Tourism recently requested to ban tours to the train street coffee shop.
Thoroughly solving the problem of train street coffee is something that needs to be done according to the law. To do this, the local government and functional forces play a decisive role. If they implement it resolutely and regularly, and handle violations, it will be difficult to have crowded and bustling scenes like the recent inspection. Otherwise, the inspections and handling will fall into the situation of "kidnapping and abandoning the plate".
