Tourists can take the train and stop at rural and lagoon destinations such as Hương Thủy, Cầu Hai, Truồi, Thừa Lưu, and Lăng Cô in Huế during the railway adventure. The Thừa Thiên Huế Provincial People’s Committee, in collaboration with the Việt Nam Railway Corporation, plans to launch a tourism train route between Đà Nẵng and Huế. This new route aims to provide convenient service for tourists exploring heritage sites in central Việt Nam.
The train journey will cover a total distance of 102km between the two cities, including 12 stations, allowing visitors to easily access downtown areas and key destinations.
The train will stop at picturesque rural and lagoon spots such as Hương Thủy, Cầu Hai, Truồi, Thừa Lưu, and Lăng Cô in Huế. The trip will take between three to four hours and pass through the Phú Gia, Phước Tượng, and Hải Vân tunnels.
The Việt Nam Railway Corporation already operates four trans-Việt Nam trains that stop at Huế and Đà Nẵng stations, including a new high-quality Hà Nội-Đà Nẵng train. This boosts tour links from Hà Nội to the world heritage centers in Đà Nẵng, Huế, Hội An ancient town, and Mỹ Sơn Sanctuary.
Since 2020, a daily bus route between Đà Nẵng and Huế has been available, featuring 75 24-seat buses that travel the distance in two hours and 30 minutes.
Last year, the Indochina Rail Tourist Service Company proposed a restoration plan to operate steam trains between Đà Nẵng and Huế.
Additionally, Đà Nẵng plans to move its railway station from the city center to Liên Chiểu District.
In the first 10 months of 2023, Huế hosted 2.4 million tourists, including 700,000 foreigners, while Đà Nẵng welcomed 5.8 million visitors, with 1.6 million being international arrivals.
