@@ianhomerpura8937nothing much 😂 as a Vietnamese, I am wondering what has changed "a lot" as the topic owner said. Especially in the railway area. Still those diesel-electric locomotives, 1m rail and old fashioned stations, trains still have to wait each other
@@ianhomerpura8937 If he means "changed a lot" in terms of cityscapes, then yes, that's definitely true-many of the urban streets shown in this video have transformed and look much more modern now. But if we're talking about the railway system, not much has really changed, except for the introduction of modern, comfortable cross-country tourist trains that I’ve had the chance to experience. In any case, the government has pretty much "abandoned" the railway sector in Vietnam, as it currently only accounts for around 0,1% of total passenger transport. These days, most Vietnamese travel by car, mainly because of the highway network, or by plane for long-distance trips
Is the rail line through the French Quarter in Hanoi open to tourists now? I was there about 6 years ago and the police had cordoned the area off to tourists, apparently out of safety concerns.
I am Vietnamese. I'm sure these videos were filmed in 2014 15 even longer before that Hanoi station had not made it easy for other passengers to get on and off. Thank you for making a video about my country's railways But now the railways of my country and my country have developed much more than that!
Did you notice something? Even tough there is poverty, everywhere he goes, people are laughing, smiling and treating him nicely. I lived in Vietnam two years. Great people!
not poverty... people leading a hard life - yes, lack of modern amenities - yes spartan/frugal living conditions - yes... but that's not what makes poverty... poverty is a state of hopeless depression, a state of humiliation by your lack of money &/or basic resources. an existence which is either dehumanizing or where things like hunger and thirst become a major factor of life... this is a thing you do not really see in Vietnam today, at least not in most places, there are a few slums in Saigon and other big cities, but in general, the conditions people live in do not prevent them from living fulfilling lives of a sort.

I am a Vietnamese and I would like to correct that there is no longer a DMZ area (in case you say this is a historical site, it would be correct), Vietnam gained independence several decades ago, please give accurate information. FYI, Vietnam is planning to build a 350km/h high-speed railway
i want to clear this statement, you mean south vietnam is really nice and friendly, not northern people who have lots of awful attitutes toward other peoples
@@ThinhNguyen-cp8dwSorry to break your mood, but if that is your intention to split the nation again, you are sorely mistaken as all Vietnamese the same. No more, no less. There is no separation here, my friend.
@@quangminhnguyen2504 what is the phrase all vietnamese are the same?? stop making me laugh, just look at the news, alot of negative informations such as thieves, robbers, mass violence always come from upon the 17 area. So what do you mean saying that all we are the same??
I have been to Vietnam 3 times. Once as a US Marine in the late 60s and twice after that as a tourist in the mid 90s and late 90s. The Vietnamese offered me a warm welcome and they gave me a relief from my feelings of guilt due to America's debacle of waging a war we reslly had no right to be there.
I like the video. When watching it, it gave me mixed feelings of joy and sadness. I hope that Vietnam will develop faster in the near future, so that many countries around the world will know that Vietnam is a modern, developed country.
It's clear that this video is quite old, as nowadays, almost no Vietnamese people travel by train anymore. According to 2023 data, the railway system accounts for only 0,1% of the country's total passenger traffic. Most Vietnamese now choose to travel by car, mainly because of the developed highway network, or by plane for longer trips.
That's unfortunate. Personal vehicles cause far more problems than solutions. Public transportation allows multitasking, far less pollution, far less traffic, far less accidents and deaths when traveling, far less financial costs, more jobs, etc. At least plenty of first-world nations, and even China, especially China, understands the importance of trains, and other public transportation.
I'm Vietnamese. I think you should come back to my country again because your video seems to have been filmed a long time ago. Now the railway has changed a lot!
Goes without saying, I’m grateful to you for posting all these awesome videos. If I may suggest something though, it would be very helpful if there was a short note somewhere, letting us know when each documentary was created.
Our country has changed a lot from the time this video was recorded. Now we have many high quality and modern train in service, but these picture makes me remember my childhood so much. Anyway thanks for uploading this video. We are always welcome friends from over the world wanna visit my country. Welcome to Vietnam!
Thanks you for taking us into the history line of Vietnam. You are giving the younger Vietnamese an understanding of how their country has come a long way to be what its today.
Love the fact that you rode like a local from Hanoi to Hue. 7 years ago, I shared a 4 berth couchette going the other way and let's just say, a few bevvies and street food purchases were all we needed to keep us entertained the entire journey. Fair play for getting stuck in
Wow, there really is intelligence on UA-cam after all. I really enjoyed this documentary, it went from humorous to sad and back so many times. I've watched most all "World's Most Dangerous School Journeys" or something like that and they were amazing as well.
Thank you for this, I really enjoyed sharing your journey through amazing Vietnam and it's beautiful people. Your presentation style and personality make for a perfect travel documentary - great work.
We just invested 7500 billion VND (roughly 300 million USD) toward improving the safety infrastructure of the existing railway system. They announced a huge investment in building bullet trains this very month, so the video can't come at a better time. Thanks for your coverage!
At about 23:30 look at the young man's sparkling inquisitive eyes as he watches the train pass through his neighborhood. To me its a reflection of every boy's fascination with trains.
I remember during the time when there were trains operated by the Philippine National Railways (PNR) before its rehabilitation. Most of the traincars have grills to prevent anyone from being thrown by stones or human manures. Now all of these locomotives and traincars (most of them were purchased from Indonesia,.others donated by Japan Railways) were transferred to Calamba City, Laguna to give way for the construction of the North-South Commuter Railway (NSCR) that will be opened by 2028 or later. I miss riding trains but hoping for the better railway system in our beloved country.
As a Vietnamese American, I find it interesting how the language is translated from Viet to English. I'm not 100% fluent so that's probably why I think the chosen translations (for the words I understand) are interesting
Many people question on the date of the video and they maybe right. How can the author say about this? If it’s too old how come it was posted just few days ago?
really enjoyed the in-depth look at train travel in Vietnam, it’s so unique! but honestly, I feel like the whole “toughest” label could be a bit misleading. while some rides are definitely adventurous, not every journey has to be portrayed as chaotic to seem exciting. what do you all think?
Took the train from Ninh Binh to Dong Hoi. We booked two places in a 4 berth compartement last year. Train was in time, compartment was more or less clean and we could sleep 6 hours instead wasting a whole day on the road or even worse one night (or our lives) in a sleeper bus. BUT book your ticket online a couple of day in advance. Its quite confusing, so you might wann do that in your hotel or at your homestay. Vietnam i s bueatifull country. Go there and explore it.

FYI, this documentary was made in 2014 and those railcars were retired a few years afterwards. Anyone who has traveled in VN in recent years would know that the cars are now super comfy with AC. The beds are fine but the toilets still stink pretty hard.
At conclusion of your video, I form the opinion that in all the interviews of the "reunification and Independence" of Vietnam, were all with pro communist persons. Having lived in Vietnam, I spoke with many older southern Vietnamese that talk about the aftermath of the fall of Saigon, seizure of land by the communists, re-education camps where near half died threw torture disease and malnutrition, the slaughter of southerners in the hundreds of thousands and more atrocities. I even spoke with a retired northern communist soldier in Hanoi who said that he thinks Ho Chi Minh miselead the northerners and that the war should not have happened.
More like a Vietnam War documentary and what the Americans destroyed, instead of a train ride. So much about the railway and train services there was not even touched on.
28:51 i would've loved to be standing on the TGV between Barcelona and the first french station!!! but tickets are always "sold out" until the train reaches the first and last stop after leaving Barcelona in Spain. where many passengers get off.
The egg is a 90 day egg, called an owee-globe. The Vietnamese bury eggs in the ground for 90 days and yes it is a delicacy. My brother tried one when he served with the U.S. Army in Vietnam in the mid '60s.
