点评:It's a cultural milestone in Ha Noi at this stage to cross having done this off the list, so why not.
We visited on a Wednesday afternoon and the train was due at 15.15.
There are two train steets intersected by a trafficked roadway, so if one is very crowded simply cross the road, however to be assured of a table and a good vantage point, you really would want to be there an hour or so early and simply enjoy the ambience watching the world go by.
Make sure you ask the bar owner whether your table will be moved for the train, as ours was. and if so, simply opt for a table on the other side of the tracks. The ones at the bar side will remain static.
Of course, food and drink items are a little more expensive there, but not excessively so. It is a tourist trap, after all. However, I didn't find the owners in any way pushy, even though it really is only during train times that most people buy anything.
There is an air of excitement once the arrival time approaches, and many many tourists try to position themselves amongst the occupied tables, only to be moved on by the bar owners, and rightly so. why should you impede on their customers without buying anything ?
Tourists who hadn't aligned themselves to some bar were literally pushed out of train street for the train to pass.
The train passing takes but a few minutes, yet there is a lot of excitement and energy, and if you are positioned correctly as discussed above you will feel the wind of the train as it passes within inches of your face.
It's an enjoyable way to spend an afternoon, but do it yourself, there is nothing a tour guide can do for you that you can't do yourself, so save your money, google maps will get you there.
There may also appear to be some control and possibly the need to buy a ticket to gain entry for the evening trains, so be aware.
翻译:既然已经把这个从清单上划掉了,那么现在穿越它就是河内的一个文化里程碑,所以为什么不呢。
我们是在星期三下午去的,火车预计在 15:15 到达。
有两条火车街与一条交通繁忙的道路相交,所以如果其中一条非常拥挤,只需过马路即可,但是为了确保有桌子和良好的有利位置,你真的希望提前一个小时左右到达那里,享受看着世界从身边经过的氛围。
一定要问酒吧老板你的桌子是否会像我们的一样在火车上移动。如果是这样,只需选择轨道另一侧的桌子。酒吧那边的桌子将保持不变。
当然,那里的食物和饮料稍微贵一点,但也不会贵太多。毕竟,这是一个旅游陷阱。然而,我没有发现店主有任何强迫性,尽管大多数人只有在火车时间才会买东西。
到达时间临近时,气氛变得兴奋,许多游客试图在已占满的桌子中间就座,但都被酒吧老板赶走了,这是理所当然的。你为什么要不买东西就妨碍他们的顾客呢?
没有在酒吧就座的游客实际上被推到火车街外,让火车通过。
火车经过只需几分钟,但却充满了兴奋和活力,如果你按照上面讨论的正确位置就座,你会感觉到火车从你脸边几英寸处经过时的风。
这是一种度过下午的愉快方式,但要自己动手,导游能为你做的一切都是你自己做不到的,所以省点钱,谷歌地图会带你去那里。
可能还需要一些控制,可能需要买票才能乘坐晚间火车,所以要注意。
