Claimed as one of the most popular railways in Southeast Asia, connecting two major cities, Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi, the Thong Nhat railway journey is more than 1,700 km long. For about 2 days, the train passes through many diverse terrains from mountains, plains to coastal areas, bringing a unique experience to domestic and foreign tourists.

Lonely Planet described the journey along the S-shaped land as an amazing trip with the scenery outside the window of ancient cities, peaceful villages and breathtaking sea routes. The train can be a meeting place for tourists from all over the world, for them to enjoy meals, and to rest in the rhythm of wheels. It can lead closer to the true beauty of the country.
