I'm from Czechia where Vietnamese people always has been working and living and they are the kindest, most hardworking people I know. I absolutely love them, and it's good to see how their home nation developed over the years.
I have the same experience with Vietnamese in the Czech Republic. (Možná že život v ČR je klidnější nežli ve Vietnamu a proto máme jinou zkušenost s Vietnamci nežli autor v předešlém komentáři.) Jinak ).
@@laosasean8482 Lol! nice try, Wumao. You may wish to invest more than 4-5 seconds on your horrible gaslight sales pitch. It’s sad. Only one of those countries INCREASED their official strategic partnership status with the US this past year. Hint: it is not the Philippines. The arc and velocity of Vietnam’s partnerships w/the US is currently at an all time high . Who knows how high it will go ? …it’s just evolving & changing by the week. eg VinFast cars are now starting to stream into the US market. Forging this bond is the fact that that the Vietnamese people in general have MUCH more distrust with the PRC , than they do with Americans ; which says a LOT, considering they were once at war with both. The fact that there is a massive Vietnamese-American community in the US who are now very successful, and even now increasingly politically ambitious /voter base at the regional level…. Is swiftly aiding this new era of collaborative relations, built on goodwill.
Hello. I am Vietnamese . Thank you, our friend, the Federal Republic of Germany, for making this film. I read through many comments and unexpectedly there were many people who loved and understood Vietnam very much. Vietnam is a narrow and long country. Vietnamese people are very open and friendly. Vietnamese people love peace and put aside the painful past. great altruism. Remember that day. My grandfather came back alive after terrible battles with America. Cambodia and China. He lost his memory because of that horror. There were nights when he suddenly woke up and screamed, recalling the names of his fallen comrades with unfamiliar names. "There were days when he ran into the street and screamed, "Forward!" Stand up, comrades. Stand up to defend your country! Viva Vietnam ! Long live Ho Chi Minh! I can't imagine what he went through. My tears fell a lot. Thank ! The people who laid down their lives forever for their homeland, for the beautiful country of Vietnam today. So that we can live perfectly in Peace .
As an Australian who has just come back from traveling Vietnam, I can say it was absolutely stunning and the Vietnamese people have much to be proud with there immense and growth as a nation, very happy and proud for my Vietnamese brothers and sisters
I'm Australian. My wife and I used to live in Laos. We'd fly to Ha Noi for a long weekend away. Loved getting lost in the Old Quarter. My wife reckons Ha Noi has the best shopping on the planet.
Reunification of Vietnam is the sweetest thing for us from Africa. Because culture is saved. I see a man, his wife, his kids and his mother and father eating together daily ❤ This is so good ❤
Am an Indian & I visited solo to Vietnam in August 2023 for 12 days I had taken this Reunification train from Da Nang to Saigon I enjoyed a lot in the train and people in the train offered me food and drinks with a cute smiles It was indeed the best train journey of my life so far. Would love to visit 1 more time next year.🎉🎉❤
Hi, I'm a Vietnamese girl and living in Hanoi. Thanks this channel so much for making such amazing video. ❤️ Thanks everyong for the love for Vietnam. Hope you gonna travel to our country someday and enjoy the trip! ❤
I'm a American , but my love for the person all trough Laos, Cambodia Thailand and Vietnam is so great , Such a Beautiful People and very hard working ❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 💪💪💪❤️❤️❤️❤️ God be with you all and be safe always
Have taken this train from Ninh Binh to Da Nang. Those beach views are spectacular. Vietnam is a beautiful country and beautiful kind hearted people. I will visit again.
I am a Chinese, have lived in Vietnam 2years. Vietnam has a lot of beautiful places, I have travelled. I have met a lot of friendly Vietnamese people, they are warm and kindness ❤(but maybe not everyone is good guy). I love this country!❤
As a Vietnamese citizen, I think the only problem with this train trip from Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh city is the painfully slow speed (1.5 days compared to 2 hours by airplane). But if you guys come from another country and are willing to spend so much time exploring Vietnam, this turns out to be one of the quickest ways. 😅
@@balsarmy The thing is Vietnamese train system was built a really long time ago. Recent attempts to renovate still can't solve the technically outdated nature of the trains. But on the positive side, we do improve the seat, bed experience and customer services to bring you guys a long but pleasant trip.
As a Filipino Canadian, I've always loved Vietnamese culture! Food, hardworking people, language are all so wonderful :)) The world can be an awful place a lot of times, but there are many beautiful people on this little planet as well
i agree with the food and hardworking people but the language is truthfully not one that connects with a wide audience like korean or japanese. You may find this rude but that some times comes with honesty, language sounds like they have something stuck in their throat. Much like tagalog. I do like palabok and the nightlife in the phillipines though.
@@UnknownCharacter-n9v don't really care if it appeals to the "wide audience" or not (And without any sources to back that up, that's only your own opinion). I just like how both languages sound and how SEA languages sound in general.
In 2019, I travelled on this train twice with my Vietnamese sister. It was one of the fondest memories of the trip to Vietnam. The view along the coast is breathtaking. Vietnam always has a special place in my heart! 🇱🇰❤️🇻🇳 I appreciate the DW team bringing back memories. A superbly produced documentary, as always!
I recently spent 3 weeks in North Vietnam. I absolutely feel in love with the beautiful country, people and culture. Really hope to go back and explore the southern region.
Vietnam, as Anthony Bourdain once said, 'Vietnam will change you, her beauty, her culture, her people. Once you visit, you will never be the same.' and he was right.
As a Pakistani I fully support love respect and support Vietnam Cambodia and Laos and its beautiful people from Pakistan 🙂. Best regards from Pakistan 🙂.
WOW! What an excellent movie. We live in the southern Philippines. Each winter we move for 1 to 2 months to Vietnam. We love this country and its people very much.
@@existentialbabyit’s so obnoxious how DW only respond to sycophantic compliments in the comments. I wonder if the 27 year old ‘journalists’ who made this just successfully scammed their employer for a free 2.5 week vacation in Vietnam wherein they did 12 hours of work total because they managed to get a couple vets talk to them on camera for 30 seconds, or if this is actually the VN govt paying for unbelievably flattering fluff pieces in western media with the caveat that they interview some old party guys.
Tran Van Ban - what a guy! Not only fought for his country, but also kept his promise, and brought his fallen brothers back to their mothers, and never stopped the search. We all should be more like Tran. He's a gem 💎
This journey is truly emotional. What makes it even impressive is that I heard all various Vietnamese accents. I wouldn't mind calling this Vietnam 101, where you meet people from all walks of life. Thanks so much to the DW team!
This documentary is so well-delivered. I want to send my deepest thanks to the DW Documentary for putting out such thorough and thoughtful content that not only showcased the beauty of Vietnam from the North to the South but also gave valuable insights into the Vietnamese cultural tapestry!
We’re from Bangladesh, visited Vietnam some twenty years ago , it was a thrilling experience to learn how bravely Vietnamese fought the mightiest & brutal enemy USA , defeated them and win the independence , wishing all the best for heroic people of Vietnam.
They didn`t defeat anyone, the u.s left , and the nva produced nothing al supplied by fellow COMMUNISTS russia and china , i woner why the saintly u,n never exposed the COMMUNIST re-education camps and their killings
I am Vietnamse, grown and live in Saigon, Vietnam. War is a part of our history. As a Vietnamese, I always remind myself not to forget how much our ancestors has to suffer for better future. But deep down I really hope that one day the world gonna known and talk about Vietnam about something else not just war.
A fascinating rail journey. It's pleasing to see how their country has recovered from the pointless destructive war. Whilst living in Australia I had many good Vietnamese friends. They are nice people. My age and health status now sadly prevents me from visiting.
We as an Australian couple, discovered Vietnam in 2000 and we've been back every year minus the COVID years. Can't say all the development has always been an improvement but what has always remained the same has been the friendliness and good nature of the Vietnamese people many of whom still lead hard working lives. Our railway journey was a short one from Hue to DaNang but it was spectacular. Going back to DaNang in May for a resort holiday. First time we went to DaNang there was no coast road to Hoi An which meant of course no massive hotels on the coast.
@@HungTranLe-kp8up Thanks for that. Not making it to Hanoi this time but we have enjoyed our times there. We love the boutique hotels in the Old Quarter but it sure has become crowded.
Cảm ơn bạn có những chia sẽ tốt đẹp về Vietnam. Thực sự bạn đi từ Đà Nẵng vào Hội An sẽ có 2 con đường song song nhau và một trong 2 con đường sẽ là con đường biển với đầy những khách sạn 5 sao và Resort đẳng cấp quốc tế dọc bờ biển là đường Trường Sa... Chúc bạn có một chuyến đi tiếp theo đầy thú vị ...! Lời cảm ơn từ Vietnam
I am pilipino luv watching vietnamese vlog.I luv this country as an asean.We luv the vlog about transforming junk into a multi million dollar car.There are many vietnamese living here in the Philippines .
Thanks DW for this nice documentary. Since I live abroad for mire than 10 years I recognize that our people in fact work very hard, we can stand through out the difficulties.
How amazing it is to see this video talking about my country. Thanks to DW for showcasing our culture, heritage, and local cuisine. Especially, the stunning views that I have never seen in my travels.
Wife and I traveled the whole country, north to south by bus. Took 21 days and we loved it. We will go back for the train ride for sure. It was the most fun because of the people and their friendship. Food was good too! Cant wait to go back.
As a son of Vietnam residing in SAIGON, my dream is to fully explore my country, immersing myself in rich cultural experiences. I am so happy to live here despite of some negative factors such as traffic and poverty in some regions. Believe me, you hardly could find somewhere else with such delicious culinary, vibrant night-lifestyle and the friendliest behavior towards foreigners.
This DW channel is one of the best, another great work you guys are awesome! And Vietnam, hats off if you know how their country was destroyed thoroughly, a miracle indeed! An Asian tiger becoming, already a global manufacturing hub
We have defeated Mongolia, France, fascist Japan, America, England, and China during the 4,000 years of building our country. The Americans dropped 14.3 million tons of bombs on us, killing about 4 million people. After that, they also supported the Khmer genocide in Cambodia and embargoed Vietnam for 25 years. We in 1990s were completely poor, backward, illiterate, the consequences after the war no one in the world could understand. But with only 30 years of development to date, we are proud to have surpassed 2/3 countries in the world. We are no longer poor, a resilient nation will forever endure.

😍😍😍😍😍DW always create great documentary. 40 years after the war Vietnam is so peaceful. I love DW documentary. Vietnam is such beautiful country. The scenery is fantastic. Danker schon DW!
As a Vietnamese living overseas and seeing the Documentary about my country, I have an indescribable feeling when hearing familiar sounds, music, mother language, and life vibes, especially the voice of the announcement every time the train reaches a station. I would like to thank for the great effort of DW team to make this documentary and spread Vietnamese culture to friends all over the world. Highly appreciate and warmly welcome to Vietnam!
I'm from Canada and we adore Vietnamese people! School friends and local families that own small restaurants have been the most kind and warm people i have ever met...I made it through Covid lockdown thanks to great pho and a sweet vietnamese woman😊 Thank you for sharing your culture!
Did this trip myself with my late father about a decade ago - it was his last overseas trip, and a good way to bond. The journey itself was fantastic to people-watch as well as appreciate the scenery passing us along the entire length from Hanoi to HCMC.
As a Australian born after the American war ! I have absolute gratitude to these people that suffered so much from Satanic Western Countries...... So Proud of Vietnamese People ❤️🫵🦘😊😇🥰😘
@@kimduong2332 Vietnamese are very nationalistic people. One side lost, one side won. It's better to move on and remember what was lost. The young kids don't have the same burdens of living through a divided nation where the North started all of this by executing their own Vietnamese.
@@pudanielson1Vietnam and Annam are two different countries, Vietnam gone but Champa, Dega and Cambodian Khmer Krom not gone, they don't think that their countries and Annam is one.
@@kimduong2332 người kinh có chiếm phần lớn dân số rồi, các dân tộc khác chỉ là thiểu số và phải chấp nhận 1 Vietnam thống nhất thôi nếu bạn là người Khmer ở Việt Nam phải sống vì Việt Nam còn không mời bạn về lại đất nước campuchia yêu thương của bạn !
@@ChiếnHữu-x6s What if Champa/Dega/Khmer Krom say no to you Kinh Annamese colonists? Before 1954 would you Kinh Annamese agree that Annam was a part of France? Khmer Krom is Cambodian territory, Khmer people are living in their Cambodia not Annam, you Kinh Annamese colonists must get out of Khmer Krom back to Annam or Cambodia will expel Kinh Annamese out with its China-built Dams and Funan canal.
Don't forget that they also threw off China's invasion in 1979. The vietnamese turned out to be simply better at this game in this region as the successful Vietnamese invasion of Cambodia showed.
That’s half true. The other half is communist propaganda. If Americans want to colonize, Japanese and South Koreans are poor slaves. If you don’t see the truth, you are poisoned with tyrants propaganda.
Welcome to my country. We are Vietnamese in Peace and Happiness. We love all regardless of who you are. Discovering our wonderful country, your life will become more remarkable. Dream about Vietnam and have a good trip.
Watching this made me remember my trip from Ha Noi to Saigon in 2000. It's not so convenient at that time with the tough seat but the view was breathtaking .
Amazing growth and modernization of Vietnam. In 1975, all we could see on tv are total devastation of this country due to decades of war. Vietnamese people are hard working and so nationalistic
As always an amazing documentary by DW 👍. Thank you DW for taking us on a beautiful train ride across Vietnam witnessing the beautiful landscape & scenery across the journey.
I hope that one day when high-speed trains are available in Vietnam, this train will still be here and for those who like to live slowly. I really like this train. It's strange, but this train is a witness to the changes in myself and my country. It's more than just a means of transportation!
I took the same train, although just a short distance, between Da Nang and Hue a few years ago. The coast line was beautiful from the train. However, the restroom on the train would certainly benefit from being cleaned more often. I also found it interesting that each train car had a separate conductor and that each train crossing and tunnel had a human guard, something no longer seen in the West.
As a Vietnamese living in Hochiminh city, to tell you the truth, I have never used the train to go to Hanoi. I have also heard and read some comments from foreign tourists about the toilets on the train. To tell you the truth, I am very sad and embarrassed. But 2-3 months ago, I read a Vietnamese article saying that Vietnam's railway service has changed a lot to attract customers due to a recent decline in sales. They have changed the toilet room design with more modern equipment. They have also renovated some of the train's rooms, even converting the train's rooms into rooms like 4-5 star high-end hotels or bars to attract high-end customers.
@@lexuanson1616 No need to be embarrassed. Vietnam is still a developing nation. I'm sure things will improve with time. I loved the two weeks I spent in Vietnam and I hope to go back soon.
As a VN descent from Thailand, my mother is one of immigrants who has been struggling her family without my father who was passed away from his PTSD by alcoholism. I always hope all indo-China countries will get better life even more and more from present-ward as last as ever!!!
Loved the train journey by the Train of Unification...Praying for the continued PEACE amongst the peoples of the World...Vietnam has set a great example...The commentator was wonderful with a very moderating voice...The background music isn't always soothing as it interferes with the commentary...! Keep travelling...Thank you DW...🚂🚆🚂
Ich habe die Vietnamesen immer bewundert! Über 25 Jahre krieg gegen die machtvollsten Länder der welt! Großen Respekt!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤ Ein Vorbild für die Ukraine 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
Vietnam ist kein Vorbild für andere Länder. Nach der Vereinigung ist Vietnam ein autoritärer Einparteistaat ohne Pressefreiheit geworden. Es kommt zu Machtmissbrauch, Korruption in grossem Stil, sinkende Moral, sehr hohe Kriminalitätsrate, .Abschwächung des Landes ... Die autoritäre Regierung von Vietnam schickt ihre Leute ins Ausland, damit diese Devisen durch kriminelle Machenschaften verdienen und nach Hause schicken. Südkorea und Taiwan folgten den demokratischen Weg mit Mehrparteisystem und Pressefreiheit, sind wohlhabende Länder geworden.
I'm Vietnamese people. I really appreciate this documentary about our country. But I felt very upset because the video used the inaccurated map about Vietnam. It should be have Hoang Sa and Truong Sa Island (which are Paracel Islands and Spratley Island) on the map on the East Sea. In my respect, hopefully this is a just a mistake, not with any intension. So hope you guys will have a great time to enjoy this video but I also hope this comment will give you a useful and crucial information about Vietnam territory
As a Vietnamese citizen, I often travel, explore and experience destinations with wonderful natural beauty. I still want to choose to experience traveling by train whenever I have enough time because traveling by train is always a safe and exciting journey!
It is amazing how Vietnam was able to at least maintain their railway network which the Philippines was not able to do despite being destroyed in a war against the US
Vietnam rely on Russia and now China help. PH is so mountainous and an island nation so it is different. I suppose if PH accept to in debt to China, it will have a railways system.
I'm from Czechia where Vietnamese people always has been working and living and they are the kindest, most hardworking people I know. I absolutely love them, and it's good to see how their home nation developed over the years.

The arc and velocity of Vietnam’s partnerships w/the US is currently at an all time high .

We as an Australian couple, discovered Vietnam in 2000 and we've been back every year minus the COVID years. Can't say all the development has always been an improvement but what has always remained the same has been the friendliness and good nature of the Vietnamese people many of whom still lead hard working lives. Our railway journey was a short one from Hue to DaNang but it was spectacular. Going back to DaNang in May for a resort holiday. First time we went to DaNang there was no coast road to Hoi An which meant of course no massive hotels on the coast.
Warmly welcome back you! with love from Hanoi❤
@@HungTranLe-kp8up Thanks for that. Not making it to Hanoi this time but we have enjoyed our times there. We love the boutique hotels in the Old Quarter but it sure has become crowded.
Cảm ơn bạn có những chia sẽ tốt đẹp về Vietnam. Thực sự bạn đi từ Đà Nẵng vào Hội An sẽ có 2 con đường song song nhau và một trong 2 con đường sẽ là con đường biển với đầy những khách sạn 5 sao và Resort đẳng cấp quốc tế dọc bờ biển là đường Trường Sa... Chúc bạn có một chuyến đi tiếp theo đầy thú vị ...! Lời cảm ơn từ Vietnam
I hope Vietnam can modernise but maintain it's character and natural beauty.
Vietnam seems to be doing well, imagine how it would have been if the war hadn't happened. I love such DW documentaries of enlightenment on countries.
Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment.
They would be still stuck in time like korea.
I am pilipino luv watching vietnamese vlog.I luv this country as an asean.We luv the vlog about transforming junk into a multi million dollar car.There are many vietnamese living here in the Philippines .
Thanks DW for this nice documentary. Since I live abroad for mire than 10 years I recognize that our people in fact work very hard, we can stand through out the difficulties.
Vietnam. Beautiful country, lovely people.
funny language tho
Funny how? It was alphabetized by the French, the national language used to be squiggles like Chinese.@@streetsarecold
Ngomong aja wanita Vietnam sangat cantik
Trying to relive the experience i had travelling this amazing country!
I'm from the Philippines but I really hope Vietnam 🇻🇳🇻🇳 will become a 1st world country someday in the nearby future.
Wake up 😅😅
@@vivuphuongnam wdym?
@@vivuphuongnamBạn đang ngủ lâu vậy sao? Chứ mọi người đã tỉnh giấc lâu rồi, chắc còn ngủ dưới giếng nè.
Get rid of the communist party and Vietnam will be a first world country within five years.
"1st world"? You still use the racist classification of countries the west created during the Cold war?
Love this country! 🇻🇳 Vietnam is on my bucket list. Love Pho soup! Hope to visit year 2024 or 2025 and i wish to ride the train from Hanoi to HCMC😊
Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment.
Thank you
Bring money and infinite patience 😂
How amazing it is to see this video talking about my country. Thanks to DW for showcasing our culture, heritage, and local cuisine. Especially, the stunning views that I have never seen in my travels.
We are pleased you enjoyed the documentary, thank you for commenting!
Wife and I traveled the whole country, north to south by bus. Took 21 days and we loved it. We will go back for the train ride for sure. It was the most fun because of the people and their friendship. Food was good too! Cant wait to go back.
Every single provinces of 63 provinces in Vietnam has its own characteristics and charms for you guys to travel.
Being Vietnamese, I think this documentary is really awesome.
As a son of Vietnam residing in SAIGON, my dream is to fully explore my country, immersing myself in rich cultural experiences. I am so happy to live here despite of some negative factors such as traffic and poverty in some regions. Believe me, you hardly could find somewhere else with such delicious culinary, vibrant night-lifestyle and the friendliest behavior towards foreigners.
This DW channel is one of the best, another great work you guys are awesome! And Vietnam, hats off if you know how their country was destroyed thoroughly, a miracle indeed! An Asian tiger becoming, already a global manufacturing hub
Thanks for watching and for your positive feedback. ❤️
We have defeated Mongolia, France, fascist Japan, America, England, and China during the 4,000 years of building our country.
The Americans dropped 14.3 million tons of bombs on us, killing about 4 million people.
After that, they also supported the Khmer genocide in Cambodia and embargoed Vietnam for 25 years. We in 1990s were completely poor, backward, illiterate, the consequences after the war no one in the world could understand.
But with only 30 years of development to date, we are proud to have surpassed 2/3 countries in the world.
We are no longer poor, a resilient nation will forever endure.
Look at the beautiful people and beautiful country once was in a war for another country's interest ( same had happened to lots of other countries )

thank you. we also love your country and your people♥
😍😍😍😍😍DW always create great documentary. 40 years after the war Vietnam is so peaceful. I love DW documentary. Vietnam is such beautiful country. The scenery is fantastic. Danker schon DW!
Thanks for watching and taking the time to share your thoughts!
Vietnam is beautiful country
As a Vietnamese living overseas and seeing the Documentary about my country, I have an indescribable feeling when hearing familiar sounds, music, mother language, and life vibes, especially the voice of the announcement every time the train reaches a station. I would like to thank for the great effort of DW team to make this documentary and spread Vietnamese culture to friends all over the world. Highly appreciate and warmly welcome to Vietnam!
I'm from Canada and we adore Vietnamese people!
School friends and local families that own small restaurants have been the most kind and warm people i have ever met...I made it through Covid lockdown thanks to great pho and a sweet vietnamese woman😊
Thank you for sharing your culture!
Did this trip myself with my late father about a decade ago - it was his last overseas trip, and a good way to bond. The journey itself was fantastic to people-watch as well as appreciate the scenery passing us along the entire length from Hanoi to HCMC.
As a Australian born after the American war ! I have absolute gratitude to these people that suffered so much from Satanic Western Countries...... So Proud of Vietnamese People ❤️🫵🦘😊😇🥰😘
I am very grateful to all the veterans who contributed to the unification of Vietnam.
Would you be grateful to all the veterans who resisted Kinh Annamese commie colonizing Vietnam?
@@kimduong2332 Vietnamese are very nationalistic people. One side lost, one side won. It's better to move on and remember what was lost. The young kids don't have the same burdens of living through a divided nation where the North started all of this by executing their own Vietnamese.
@@pudanielson1Vietnam and Annam are two different countries, Vietnam gone but Champa, Dega and Cambodian Khmer Krom not gone, they don't think that their countries and Annam is one.
@@kimduong2332 người kinh có chiếm phần lớn dân số rồi, các dân tộc khác chỉ là thiểu số và phải chấp nhận 1 Vietnam thống nhất thôi nếu bạn là người Khmer ở Việt Nam phải sống vì Việt Nam còn không mời bạn về lại đất nước campuchia yêu thương của bạn !
@@ChiếnHữu-x6s What if Champa/Dega/Khmer Krom say no to you Kinh Annamese colonists? Before 1954 would you Kinh Annamese agree that Annam was a part of France? Khmer Krom is Cambodian territory, Khmer people are living in their Cambodia not Annam, you Kinh Annamese colonists must get out of Khmer Krom back to Annam or Cambodia will expel Kinh Annamese out with its China-built Dams and Funan canal.
saya dari Indonesia . sangat mencintai Vietnam 🇻🇳 🇮🇩 .
kita hanya mungsuh di sepakbola 🤣🤣🤣
😅
It's not the enemy, it's the spirit of sportsmanship
Thank you, sometimes the competition is just getting heated but deep down we all know we are friends 🤝
Hahahahhaahah 😂😂😂
I am amazed and humbled at how Vietnamese were able to throw out French and American colonizers.
We in Vietnam greatly appreciate that you take time to explore our history.
I was kind of rooting for the French honestly
Don't forget that they also threw off China's invasion in 1979. The vietnamese turned out to be simply better at this game in this region as the successful Vietnamese invasion of Cambodia showed.
Wait until you find out who built most of the railroads, air and sea ports still in use today.
That’s half true. The other half is communist propaganda. If Americans want to colonize, Japanese and South Koreans are poor slaves.
If you don’t see the truth, you are poisoned with tyrants propaganda.
Thanks for making this video to show VN to the world. VNmese are resilient people
Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts!
Welcome to my country. We are Vietnamese in Peace and Happiness. We love all regardless of who you are. Discovering our wonderful country, your life will become more remarkable. Dream about Vietnam and have a good trip.
Thank DW alot from Vietnam 🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳. 🇻🇳❤️🇩🇪!
Thank you for watching!
Vietnam is a beautiful country with wonderful people and amazing food! 🇻🇳
I plan to retire over there; 16 years to go.
What a stunning view of our country and captivating Vietnamese Bamboo flute sounds. Greetings from Viet Nam. 🤟
From Vietnam with Love
Watching this made me remember my trip from Ha Noi to Saigon in 2000. It's not so convenient at that time with the tough seat but the view was breathtaking .
Amazing growth and modernization of Vietnam. In 1975, all we could see on tv are total devastation of this country due to decades of war. Vietnamese people are hard working and so nationalistic
As always an amazing documentary by DW 👍. Thank you DW for taking us on a beautiful train ride across Vietnam witnessing the beautiful landscape & scenery across the journey.
Thank you for watching!
Vietnam is so clean and beautiful.
This just came up in such a good time. I do travelling videos and Vietnam will be a next destination! 😊
Vietnam my beloved country.
I travelled through Vietnam on the Reunification Express in 2003. Fantastic experience.
Oh man the filming and the dubbing is just perfect. 💯 What an experience 👌
Wow, nice info DW. I'm Indonesian and has visited both Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh before pandemic.
I hope that one day when high-speed trains are available in Vietnam, this train will still be here and for those who like to live slowly. I really like this train. It's strange, but this train is a witness to the changes in myself and my country. It's more than just a means of transportation!
Deutsche Welle - Such an outstanding documentary, we need more of this please. Incredible footage and great stories, Thanks so much for the upload!
Thanks for watching and sharing your positive feedback!
I took the same train, although just a short distance, between Da Nang and Hue a few years ago. The coast line was beautiful from the train. However, the restroom on the train would certainly benefit from being cleaned more often. I also found it interesting that each train car had a separate conductor and that each train crossing and tunnel had a human guard, something no longer seen in the West.
Đồng ý với góp ý của bạn.
As a Vietnamese living in Hochiminh city, to tell you the truth, I have never used the train to go to Hanoi. I have also heard and read some comments from foreign tourists about the toilets on the train. To tell you the truth, I am very sad and embarrassed. But 2-3 months ago, I read a Vietnamese article saying that Vietnam's railway service has changed a lot to attract customers due to a recent decline in sales. They have changed the toilet room design with more modern equipment. They have also renovated some of the train's rooms, even converting the train's rooms into rooms like 4-5 star high-end hotels or bars to attract high-end customers.
@@lexuanson1616 No need to be embarrassed. Vietnam is still a developing nation. I'm sure things will improve with time. I loved the two weeks I spent in Vietnam and I hope to go back soon.

But it is so slow! Japanese will help you to update it, only after some 50 years!

I ❤ vietnam.
As a VN descent from Thailand, my mother is one of immigrants who has been struggling her family without my father who was passed away from his PTSD by alcoholism. I always hope all indo-China countries will get better life even more and more from present-ward as last as ever!!!
thank you for the very well done documentary DW, Vietnam is a bucketlist country, love from Kenya.
Vietnam has been at war from WW2 to 1990s. It has made great economic progress since then, in only 3 decades
not even until 1995 when the US lifted the sanction
@@ledangloveterrorist usa
Southern VN was most developed in Asean until 1975.😅😅
Are you serious?
@@LinhLe-cc9of You mean what?
Loved the train journey by the Train of Unification...Praying for the continued PEACE amongst the peoples of the World...Vietnam has set a great example...The commentator was wonderful with a very moderating voice...The background music isn't always soothing as it interferes with the commentary...! Keep travelling...Thank you DW...🚂🚆🚂
Ich habe die Vietnamesen immer bewundert!
Über 25 Jahre krieg gegen die machtvollsten Länder der welt!
Großen Respekt!!!!
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Ein Vorbild für die Ukraine 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
Danke Schön
乌克兰前线需要你。
Vietnam ist kein Vorbild für andere Länder.
Nach der Vereinigung ist Vietnam ein autoritärer Einparteistaat ohne Pressefreiheit geworden. Es kommt zu Machtmissbrauch, Korruption in grossem Stil, sinkende Moral, sehr hohe Kriminalitätsrate, .Abschwächung des Landes ...
Die autoritäre Regierung von Vietnam schickt ihre Leute ins Ausland, damit diese Devisen durch kriminelle Machenschaften verdienen und nach Hause schicken.
Südkorea und Taiwan folgten den demokratischen Weg mit Mehrparteisystem und Pressefreiheit, sind wohlhabende Länder geworden.
But VN support Russia.😅
Chúc đất nước Ukraine sẽ sớm hoà bình trở lại
I'm Vietnamese people. I really appreciate this documentary about our country. But I felt very upset because the video used the inaccurated map about Vietnam. It should be have Hoang Sa and Truong Sa Island (which are Paracel Islands and Spratley Island) on the map on the East Sea. In my respect, hopefully this is a just a mistake, not with any intension. So hope you guys will have a great time to enjoy this video but I also hope this comment will give you a useful and crucial information about Vietnam territory
DW Documentary is one of the channel where I learn my English. Thank you for making a meaningful episode about my country.
As a Vietnamese citizen, I often travel, explore and experience destinations with wonderful natural beauty. I still want to choose to experience traveling by train whenever I have enough time because traveling by train is always a safe and exciting journey!
Makes me want to go to Vietnam! 🙂
I did this two years, spent the whole time whining about how slow the train was, when I was awake though some of the scenery was magnificant!
It is amazing how Vietnam was able to at least maintain their railway network which the Philippines was not able to do despite being destroyed in a war against the US
Vietnam rely on Russia and now China help. PH is so mountainous and an island nation so it is different. I suppose if PH accept to in debt to China, it will have a railways system.
