Recently, Mr. Hoang Hai Minh, Vice Chairman of Thua Thien Hue Provincial People’s Committee, held discussions with representatives from Vietnam Railway Corporation regarding the deployment of the tourist train service from Hue to Da Nang, scheduled to commence on March 26.
Accordingly, the parties have agreed to develop services along the Hue – Da Nang route with a focus on differentiation, providing tourists with a unique travel experience and tourism services throughout the train journey and at the destination between the two locales, Hue and Da Nang, including Lang Co Bay. Besides its tourism purposes, the Hue – Da Nang railway line also contributes to ensuring transportation and connectivity between the two places for residents.
Mr. Minh stated that the implementation of these plans aims to foster close collaboration between Vietnam Railway Corporation, the Da Nang City government, Thua Thien Hue Province, as well as tourism and service enterprises in both provinces.

Regarding the plan to deploy the Hue – Da Nang train service proposed by the two provinces, Mr. Dang Sy Manh, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Vietnam Railway Corporation, remarked that the proposed plan by the two provinces is “highly suitable” for families and individuals seeking experiential travel, enabling tourists to admire the mountainous and coastal landscapes.
“Both stations in Hue and Da Nang are located in the city center, catering to the high demand of domestic and international tourists traveling between the two destinations. This is an advantage of this railway line,” Mr. Manh stated during the meeting on March 1.
Previously, in 2023, Vietnam Railway Corporation had renovated infrastructure and upgraded facilities at both Hue and Da Nang stations. This work will continue in 2024.
In 2023, Vietnam Railway was featured in Lonely Planet Australia’s travel magazine Amazing Train Journeys, with the Hanoi – Ho Chi Minh City railway line voted as the most beautiful and experiential railway route in the world.
In the same year, Lonely Planet evaluated the six most beautiful routes in Vietnam for scenic views across the country to provide recommendations for tourists.
Alongside routes such as Ha Giang, Cao Bang – Ban Gioc, Da Lat – Nha Trang, Ho Chi Minh City – My Tho, and Dam Trau – Ben Dam, the Hai Van Pass route is among the top most beautiful scenic routes. This route also allows travelers to fully admire the beauty from the train.
